When criticism of a religious figure long dead results in riots, murder, and mayhem and threats of more to come the religion has become a cult. A cult's followers frequently become violent because they're brainwashed by the cult. Just as we see in Islam. Mandatory frequent prayer, restricted learning of non-Muslim things, self-imposed isolation and segregation from mainstream society, and violent reaction to anyone speaking out against Islam. These are all things you see in every violent cult including many Christian ones here in the US.

And when a majority of the world's Muslims say Mohammed is the ideal Muslim, and this ideal Muslim marries and has sex with little girls, it becomes clear the cult is not compatible with western society, culture, or law.

"As we have seen, a major complaint across Muslim societies is that the West denigrates Islam and Muslims and equates Islam with terrorism. The cartoons did not satirize or ridicule terrorists like Osama bin Laden or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, but chose instead to satirize the venerated Prophet Muhammad, whom Muslims regard as the ideal model of Muslim life and values, in what was seen as a direct attack on Islam and a denigration of the faith"
Islam and the West: Clash or Coexistence?

Thus Islam is properly designated a cult just as the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints are. When Warren Jeffs forced underage girls into marriage, practiced polygany, and exiled young males from towns where the cult has influence he was arrested and imprisoned. Yet there's a double-standard when it comes to Islam which does far worse things like commit murders and terrorist-bombings in the name of their cult.
 
This ideal Muslim Muhammad, also had people tortured and killed. I can quote reputed hadiths to prove it.
 
Cult-
a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

Looks like the majority of religions fit that definition, including everyone in the Abrahamic religions.

 
What "violent Christian cults" exist in the U.S. "today?" I did a quick search and came up with some cults in the U.S. that inflict hardship on their own members or are considered "haters" by the SPLC but nothing like the ever-expanding terrorism, torture and murder practiced by radical Islam.

The endless search for moral equivalence between Christianity and Islamic terrorists is tiresome.

Most would say the following more accurately describes a cult and doesn't try to make religion and cult one and the same.
Cult - American Heritage Dictionary
1.
a.
A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional
manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader.
b. The followers of such a religion or sect.

2. A usually nonscientific method or regimen claimed by its originator to have exclusive or exceptional power in curing a particular disease.

Sounds like an accurate description of pretty much ALL religions to me.
