Novel cults

Novel cult ideas:

Islamo-Communism
Attempted by Muammar Gaddafi but never completed. There is a number of reasons why Islam and communism can be compatible; most importantly, Islam is generally authoritarian while it also puts a very strong emphasis on the growth of community and emancipation through labor. Those who steal (privatize) the common goods have their hands cut off. Usury is forbidden. Etc, etc. It would not be hard to convince Muslims that capitalism is a Jewish scheme.

Islamo-Buddhism
A number of similarities between the Buddhist tradition and Islamic are striking; and as many know Buddhism influenced Christianity by way of Middle Eastern trade routes (in fact, Buddha is a Christian saint! ), the influence continues into Islam. Both Buddhism and Islam forbade visual depictions of their founding prophet. They both take a radically negative stance on alcohol: the Buddha likened alcohol to cow dung. A monk asked whether one sip of alcohol were acceptable and Buddha asked whether he'd want a fingernail's worth of cow dung in his water.

Although we see throughout history (and in the present day) a radical tradition of violence between the two communities, when the underlying theology and cultures are stripped bare, we see that Islam is the best suited Abrahamic tradition for synthesis with the dharma of awakening.

Bahai Americanism
The Bahai faith teaches an essential worth in all religions (in line with Freemasonry); namely it identifies these people as being Godmen :


 * Adam
 * Noah
 * Krishna
 * Moses
 * Abraham
 * Zoroaster
 * Buddha
 * Jesus
 * Mohammed

This author feels that American patriotism as an ideological force often overlaps into cult/religious territory: holidays, larger than life creators, ritual, magic cloth, etc etc; now, my proposal for "Bahai Americanism" would be to extend the canon of saints to add American founding fathers such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, etc., along with later presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and (secretly) George W. Bush. Higher ranked members will be taught that 9/11 was an inside job, but an inside job for good; the Bahai American cult were the masterminds; we can fall back upon prior established "9/11 truther" conspiracies linking the act to Freemasons. See especially the ixxi phenomena.

Corporate Mysticism
