Solution for the West: Islam classified as a CULT?

Submitted by RPaine (Australia), Apr 30, 2006 at 05:06

There is a much easier way though, hit Islam in its soft spot, simply change its religious classification to the more appropriate classification of “CULT”. This will shatter the walls of their protectorate/Castle, remove special privileges that other religions possess due to their peaceful and kind and humanitarian message. It’s only fair since Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism (among others) are not provided with equality rights or security in the Muslim world (only under Dhimmitude!). Simply designate Islam as a Cult in the West; this is where American leadership needs to start, for other countries would surely follow given the benefits this would yield. If someone wants to be a Muslim, let them live in one of the existing Muslim countries, not amongst the civilized in modern societies. And while we're at it, blame Osama bin Laden and other terrorist organizations for any inconveniences - why not make them less popular and less capable while we're at it.

Can someone tell me why this has not been done yet? I see Westeners getting really tired of this whole fight, and the way it is being waged, we need decisive leadership. We need to set the time frames and win - enough of being nice to an enemy that wants us all dead, enslaved or converted to Islam!!
