My dear RV rabina yuwasa3 a3qlak akthar wa akthar,

Well both islam and communism are religions. Yes communism fits very well in the definition of what is really a religion and it is indeed a religion (see Fenton et al) and it fits the following:

1. Diagnosis of disorder.

2. Symbolic distancing

3. Laminality.

4. Restoration or rebirth.

These four criteria fits for both islam and communism.

And remember that you do not have to have a God(s) or a rule for a God(s) to have a religion and the best exmple is Buddhism.

Both islam and communism share the bizarre concept of Jihad or holy war. In Islam you as a Muslim are told to "qatil fi sabeel Allah" to get your ghamima and to spread islam and until the whole world is Muslim. Communism tells its followers to fight in the name of the working man until the whole world falls to communism.

Both islam and communism are anti-human and anti-reason. They are both fascist ideologies.

Both islam and communism divide humanity into believers and non believers.

Communism has lost and it is the turn of Islam and Islam will be defeated in the market place of ideas.

So my dear Rv are you another tablighee that is out to spread the religion of the Arabs and the imperialism of the Arabs? And if so: shame.
