Define the difference between a middle eastern cult, and any western religion, please?
Is it differed on the ideals, or based on how many people follow it?
It's based on neither.
And the "western cult" would be the Christians.
There.
I named one.

1) Christians have never threatened Islam with nuclear weapons. To ever state that they did is a bold faced lie or a demonstratioon of sheer ignorance. If you think I'm taking you out of context, read your own posts.
2) I call it a "cult", because its outside of what most consider mainstream Islam. I am not a fan of traditional Islam to begin with, but the kind that is pushed by Iran literally believes that it is THEIR duty to bring about the apocalypse... and the're trying to get Nulear weapons. THATS a cult, and a very dangerous one at that.
3) To compare moderrn Christianity with Iran's form of Islam is doomed on conception. There IS NO COMPARISON. To call Christianity a cult is just shows you know have no idea what a cult is. Lets look at offenses. Christianity can be charged with the ubiquitous charge of "cultural imperialism", while the Iran's form of Islam wants to wash the earth in the blood of the unbelievers to bring about the apocalypse. THAT IS A CULT BY ANY DEFINITION. The fact that this cult runs a nation does not validate them, it simply makes them quite dangerous.
Stop being PC. Stop pretending that everything is ok and we are no better than those that want to kill us for not believing in the exact same religion they do. Most of all, stop using relativism as a reason to shroud yourself in cultural ignorance. Blanket statements like `every religion is a cult' aren't enlightening, they are a continuation of an idiotic worldview hat could be the end of our way of life and even OUR LIVES. Start reading, thinking and objectively examining the situation, then form an opinion. I am finished with this dialogue until you can form an argument that shows you really care enough about your own opinions to support them with real information.
