Is Islam a Religion?

Of course, Islam is one of the major religions of the world; what is there to argue about?

I take the position that any movement from which one cannot withdraw peacefully is, ipso facto, not a religion. Unlike Christianity, which itself has a bloody history, the requirement to kill apostates lies in the DNA of Islam.
