It's going to turn out that half the muslim world is one big cult.

I chose the word "corporately" very carefully, meaning that terrorism, murder, and other crimes are actually embraced as tenants of the "religion" (aka "cult"). Kali worshippers, Jim Jones, Aum Shnrikyo, Rajneesh Foundation International, etc. There are other factors that make up a "cult," but wanton criminality as a purported "act of faith" would certainly be a definining feature.

There's some interesting and comprehensive information about Islamism and other cults at the Apologetics Index.

Apologetics is an interesting website, although I think this deliberate distinction between Islam and Islamism is a bit fabricated. It's more a continuum than a divide, and despite the reassuring comments like:

Islam places great emphasis on virtue, charity, and living according to God's will; it is not at all incompatible with political democracy or religious pluralism.

The fact is, Islam is VERY incompatible with capitalism due to the hatred of usury that results in a very negative attitude toward Jews -- which intensitiy waxes and wans over the years, depending on how thoroughly their Jewish populations are subdued -- and is at least indirectly responsible for their hatred of America and its success.
