Islam is basically a CULT (IMO)
OP - November 10, 2011, 08:38 AM

Well I was thinking ever since i left islam.. well i pondered over what i had been doing and what many muslims still continue to do..

they imitate the prophet of islam

everything he did they try to follow and imitate...

it basically shapes their whole outlook on life..

even when the prophet says to do stupid things like when using the restroom to cover

your head look at all these strict rules

Sunnah Of Going To The Bathroom 1 Recite Dua ‫اللُّهم إ ِِّني‬ َُ ‫أَعُوذ بك مِن‬ َ َ ِ ُ ِ ُ ْ ‫الخ ْبث‬ ِ ِ َ ْ َ ‫والخ َبائث‬ 2 Cover your head Step out with the 6 right foot. 3 Enter with left foot Wash 5 hands Up to the Wrists thrice. 4 Wash in odd numbers i.e. 7 Be very careful about the splashing of urine - Use left hand for cleaning - Do not talk in toilet. Recite Dua ‫الحمد ِلِل الَذِي أَذهب عني اْلَذى وعافانِي‬ َ َ َ َ ْ ِّ َ َ َ ْ َِ ُ ْ َ ْ ََ َُْ َ ‫غفرانك‬ 'O Allah I seek Your pardon. All praises are due to Allah who has taken away from me discomfort and granted me relief.'

why are muslims so gullible

literally when i used to go on tablighi jamaat.. they would tell us when entering the bathroom always cover our heads with a hat or something.. kufi,etc

now i look back like what was i thinking and why .. whats going to happen if i don't is a big scary jinn going to come out of the toilet and suffocate me to death or rather possess me....

another thing they told us was when using the bathroom to put one hand n our stomach and the other on top of our heads.. because it's sunnah... i was like ookaay

Anyone else experience these kind of stupidity from muslims

It still is a cult, but most of its members don't realize it. Also, remember that all the major religions of the world started out as cults, but the more adherents there are, the less likely it will be called a cult.

"Live a good life. If there are god(s) and they are just, you will be rewarded based on virtue. If they're unjust, then you shouldn't want to worship them. If there are no gods, you will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of others."

Most or even all religions are cults. They have just been around for a long time and have built a large number of followers to make them appear more legitimate.

If the story of Muhammad was repeated today (Or the story of most of the Judeo-Christian prophets) they would be considered cults. How are their claims and stories not any more ridiculous than those of people like Jim Jones, Sai Baba, Joseph Smith and L.Ron Hubbard.

A religion is just a socially accepted cult.

I'd say his son was innocent, why revel in his passing away just to spite the old fraud?

I didn't mean it against his son, you silly buggers. All I'm saying is that Muhammed deserved this karma shit that he got. If I had a choice of it happening or not, then I would choose for it not to happen...... simply because an innocent child was involved of course, not because of that cunt.

Keep your knickers on, sheesh.

cult
[kuhlt]
noun
1.
a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2.
an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers
3.
the object of such devotion.
4.
a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
5.
Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.

Calling a religion a cult is like calling a person an ape.
They all are, but are insulted by the label

The foundation of superstition is ignorance, the
superstructure is faith and the dome is a vain hope. Superstition
is the child of ignorance and the mother of misery.
-Robert G. Ingersoll (1898)

"Do time ninjas have this ability?" "Yeah. Only they stay silent and aren't douchebags." -Ibl
