A cult is based around a charismatic persona. The muslims have that persona in the family of Mohammed (the Shias with their imams, the Boris with their Syedna, the Ismailis with the Aga Khan, etc) or in Mohammed's politico-religious followers (the Sunnis with their Caliphs), so yes it is a cult
I would rather call Islam a civilisational virus -- a virus that attacks healthy civilisations like Coptic Egypt, Christian North Africa, Christian Syria, Christian Iraq, Zoroastrian Iran, Azerbaijan, Central Asia and Hindu western India (i.e. Pakistan) and destroys those civilisations

Interesting point... I believe you are correct in this...
