"Religion" is subjective. However, all are based on a mythology . It is the measurable effect that the "Internalization" that a set of beliefs have on the human psyche that is in question. The Mythology of the "Mu'slam" , once internalized as a belief system, motivates the believer to behave in ways other mythologies do not. The Mu'slam mythology is a hazard because it places the individual and others in peril. The mythology, permits, and in fact, demands violence as a condition of communion with the deity.

This is the unique aspect of this mythology. Expansion by violence is the fundamental message that the founder of this mythology esposed. It has served the Mu'slams well. They have expanded the mythology practically exclusively by violence ,intimidation and threats. The pattern and practice of this violence dogma has so warped and distorted the human personality of those who have internalized this mythology, that a disassociation with reality occurs resulting in a "Mu'slam Personality Disorder", which may result in suicidal/homicidal ideation, paranoia, anxiety,and the entire range of mental health disorders. Such are the results of the mythology of "Islam" and those who have internalized the mythology, the "Mu'slams".
