They're arguing over who has the better imaginary friend.
And they know as an absolute fact that theirs is real. They wonder how the believers of the other 4000 + religions can be so stupid.

It’s so hilarious that you think the dumb shit you come up with is so brilliant that it needs to be block quoted into a literal image file and input into your thread with your name under it like you’re Abraham Lincoln. Your ideas are stupid. You are not important. Stop acting like you’re somebody of importance whos quotes need to be archived and remembered. You are a literal moron.
Freedom of religion is an American value.

Yes it is.A book isn't central leadership.
Yes it is.
Different people can interpret a book differently. Central leadership involves a leader of the group to tell you what the official rules and beliefs are. This is why different groups can disagree so strongly with each other even when being the same religion.
OK Boomer. You haven't proven that a cult needs a central leader. Here, start with this:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cult
If you want to go by this definition, then every religion is a cult, which is something I won't fight you on.
However, in everyday use, the term "cult" is used to describe religions like Scientology where there is a central leadership.
So, go by my definition, and Islam is not a cult. Go by your definition, and Christianity is a cult too.
OK, have it your way. In that case ban any Islamic organizations that are affiliated with the pro-Jihad Global Islamic Movement.
Considering there is no Global Islam Movement, I'd say job done.
Since there is, I say checkmate.

Well if it's on the internet, it must be true.
Seriously though, there have been a lot of studies on just how many Muslims are involved in Jihadism. Pretty much every study says it's about 7% - 10%. In addition to that, nearly all of them are concentrated in a few countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, and so on. In places like Albania and Bosnia, people who support Islamic terrorism in any form is unheard of. So really, we're not only talking about a tiny percentage of Muslims, we're talking about certain nationalities, not a Global movement.
Now with that being said, I'm all for banning any group that openly supports terrorism. However, calling it a Global movement is just silly.
7% of 1.7 billion is 119 million. I'd say that's a global movement.
But it's not Global, it's confined to a few countries. And sure, 119 million is a big number, but it's nothing compared to the Muslims who oppose Jihadism.
According to you. I'll believe Muzaffar Iqbal, who has studied the movement just a tiny bit more than you have.
What did I say that you disagree with? That it's a small percentage or that it's mostly confined to a few countries?
What? Try making some sense.
You said you didn't trust me on there not being a Global Islam movement. So, which part do you think I got wrong? There part where only a tiny percentage of Muslims support Jihadism, or the part where most extremists live in only a few countries?
