First!
Does it look like Islam?
It looks like you’re quite ignorant.
😮
V
Sounds a lot like Islam
i was thinking the same thing
lol. sounds a lot like a couple of ignorant fools commenting. 🙂
Your ignorance shows.
no it doesn’t but cult members like you hear and see what you like, so obviously the video explaining what a cult is, wont help you!
@Muslim Response
Islam is Desert cult
Any and all Cults are any individual or institution that convinced people that they need this individual or group to have a relation with God (this includes what is commonly considered religions – from Amway to the Catholic Church = ALL CULTS) Divine relationship is Universally Innate – there are no ‘priesthood class’ required, we are all ordained that was the point of Jesus Christ teachings and why he declared his teachings would create such tension… The priesthood class is a murderous group full of their own sense of superiority 😎
Anything that teaches you need their authority to know Divine guidance = CULT
Anything or anyone that teaches you cannot trust your own divinely aligned self autonomy = CULT
Even if you factor out Catholicism, there is somewhat of a priesthood class, noted as Firstfruits. What the Catholics or most Christians won’t tell you is Yeshua, the one they call Jesus, is the first among them.
Freedom for Palestine ❤
I dislike cults. They’re worse now today since they have access to all sorts of technologies. 🙄😒
😭
Especially the Trump Cult evil
Backward humans
well… Europeans converted Africans to Christianity and then started enslaving them, till the day of today Africans still believe in Christianity while the West is overthrowing their governments, stealing their natural wealth, murdering their politicians, etc..
Human sacrifices is the answer
Tax reductions
This is what I saw in my dream and prayed for you be careful 🙏
you missed out Osho .. Rajneesh . hindu extremist cult
Osho is a genius only he didn’t kill the people who left his fold
@Muslim Response
Islam is a desert cult. Did you know that!
@creator bliss
She has a master faith syndrome. She herself follow to desert cult
@Leechee say whatever you like, the truth is clear and recorded in books, you are just commenting rubbish on youtube.
@Muslim Response You from the UK , go drink a Bo’oh’o’wa’er and relax
The Democrat’s woke lgbtq members
Well, I really do wish the Cult of Woke crazies would give themselves a grand send-off.
Imran khan had a cult too on people!
All religions are cult too 😂 but now they are too big to called out
Factsss…there’s no difference
“tRuSt ThE sCiEnCe” are the worst
Trust the Marketing 😎
They all can be bad
Science doesn’t need your trust. It is actual proof that gives its validity.
Trust Mohammad (pbuh) is it?
Good Al Jazeera you are doing a great job. It is a great source of knowledge and helpful in understanding the English language.
A really good explanation of Religion.
And political parties nowadays
Islam and EU biggest cults on planet. Most notorious is Islamic cults by far. Isis taliban both needed soldiers from many countries to stop surge. And still thrive today because of shear number of weak people that will follow. Congrats 👏
Isn’t this channel a cult affiliated due to whom they aligned with as is notions spoken of on covid-19 or the proxy war nearby the home of my relatives in Yampil?
As long as they don’t explode
یوتھئیے 😂
Most notorious cult in history is called islam
People think cults have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, because they have been deceived. The truth is colts have been around for closer to 4000 years. Since the universe, the earth and mankind have only been around for about 6,000 years, the idea of cults being hundreds of thousands of years old is simply not possible.
Informative and simple
Religion=cult that is very old and therefore seen as more legitimate
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the very most recent example, the African organ trafficking murder/suicide cult.
Awful what a Evil people they are 👿

Where’s the biggest Cult? The Trump Cult!
Trump supporters
ANY system of religious devotion directed towards a particular figure or object
There’s literally no difference between this and Religion, trust me…only that the claim and promises (heaven) are quite different
ISLAM <<😬👈
ISLAM <<😬👈 . undoubtedly the most famous cult .
Christian because we have the most members. Cult is just what people called religious people they hate… Unless you’re being forced to stay there.
islam is not a cult. what the video again carefully!
@Muslim Response It is a cult for us . may not be for you and muslim channel aljazeere
Trump supporters, a modern-day cult!
I always applied “you’ll know it, when you smell it” rule
Where evil demons (offspring of satan) involved,
There breaking the rules & promises is 1st rule.
Who r u kidding?? The worship of ‘Mary’ is one of the largest cults, if not the largest cult worship in the world!!!
A cult can have more than one leader! Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons both have a body of men ruling their flocks, yet members are required to follow every rule the put out, without questioning & they also break up the family unit with shunning & ex-communication (though they each have a different name for it). Cults don’t expressly have to be religious, either.
Under the law they’re just another christian group
The same difference between, Emperor, King, President, Prime Minister etc.
LGBTQ is a cult.
👍🏽👌🏾👍🏽
👌🏾👍🏽👌🏾
And now Billions of people across the globe are members of a christian cult- whereby they believe in some deity that lives in the sky, that once they die,-If they believe in it – will live in paradise, or the one where a prophet says that if they die in battle -they will get so many virgins to amuse themselves with! What utter sh!ye! – As someone who has died twice, once by a natural heart attack and once by an induced one to correct arrhythmia, I can confirm that it is all Bullshit- there is nothing, Nada you’re dead and you don’t know it. You just cease to have any memory/dream / interaction- NOTHING. When you are dead- you cease to be. Religion is Bullshit designed to separate you from your freedom and mostly your money! Prove me wrong- if you can!
Saul renamed by himself as Paul is the biggest cult leader so far the world ever seen.
Mind explaining why this man of Tarsus is a cult leader?
If they’re making you do something you don’t want to do or they won’t let you leave… it’s a cult. But it’s over uses nowadays. Any group you don’t like is a cult 🥱 On the other hand; some people think all religions & political groups are cult. Some of them are cult like. “Whatever a person from our side do something is right & just. The other side is evil.” I head that from a lot of different religions & political parties. Yeah that’s super cult like. That word have lost meaning nowadays
Economic systems are also cults, bruh
Agree with both of you.❤
@Demon Cloud I forgot all about that. I didn’t even realize it until you said something
@Cheri thank you
OLD NEWS
All organized religions are “cults”, and they combined are one of the most destructive forces on the plant….
“killing in the name of”
Christianity and Islam are socially accepted cults.
😆😭 not funny, but some of the beliefs and the need for mass suicide.
Cultism is an act of terror!
you haters in the comments section, Islam is NOT a cult. watch the video carefully!
Are you yourself muslim?
@anonymous yes Alhamdulillah a revert Muslim from atheism.
You didn’t tell us anything. We already knew that.
she is so foxy.
Some cults will kill you if you decide to leave them
The following Islamic countries have the death penalty as the official punishment for apostasy (i.e., leaving Islam) Afghanistan, Iran, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. As the second largest religion the world, religious violence is institutionalized in many Islamic countries, and hundreds and thousands of closeted apostates live in fear of violence and are compelled to live their lives in extreme duplicity and mental stress.
A brief look into the 50+ years of published research on cults by sociologists and religious studies scholars will reveal that “destructive cults” like the ones featured in the video are the exception, not the rule, in cultic forms of religion. The only time corporate media airs stories about cults is when they engage in criminality. Also, claims of coercive persuasion (or “brainwashing”) by cults have also been thoroughly debunked and no evidence of brainwashing has ever held up in a court of law. Even the cults that explicitly tried to forcibly socialize new members into their religions utterly failed at doing so. Given the mountain of credible academic research available, I’m disappointed that Al Jazeera and Sara Khairat put so little effort into researching this topic.
You forgot to mention Donald Trump and MAGA, which are clearly a cult and cult leader.
People are coming to terms that Islam and other religions are cults.
Anything & everything we do is all because of brain-washing
Jehovah’s witnesses….. just saying.
What makes a Nation? What makes a cult Religion? What makes an Empire? What makes a Al Jazeera?
Absolutely NO different to any religion whatsoever
lgbtq is a cult
Jedia didnt ask this question from the Pakistani Niazi & his recent wife?
I found this clip to be rather unsatisfactory on explaining cults. Too little substance. Need further elaboration in explaining the psychology & sociology involved.
Some cults, we can’t even name, or they will kill us, thats how terrifying cults are…
@DethronerX no (bleeping) comment, enough said.
Satanism / illuminati
Islam is also a hard-core dogmatic beliefs cult/desert cult
almost every religion started as a cult…
Scientology :))
What makes a death cult? Islam!
2023 Shakahola starvation cult
