AL QAEDA IS A CULT:
The al Qaeda CULT

In the book Jihad and Sacred Vengeance: Psychological Undercurrents of History, psychiatrist Peter A. Olsson compares Osama bin Laden to other religious leaders including Jim Jones, David Koresh, Shoko Asahara, Marshall Applewhite, Luc Jouret andJoseph Di Mambro, in a section of the book called: "The Psychology of Destructive Cult Leaders".^[18] Olsson asserts that each of these individuals fit at least eight of the nine criteria forNarcissistic Personality Disorder.^[18] Olsson goes into some of these issues in more depth in his work Malignant Pied Pipers of Our Time: A Psychological Study of Destructive Cult Leaders from Rev. Jim Jones to Osama bin Laden.^[19] In the book Seeking the Compassionate Life: The Moral Crisis for Psychotherapy and Society authors Goldberg and Crespo also refer to Osama bin Laden as a "destructive cult leader."^[20]

At a 2002 meeting of the American Psychological Association (APA), Steven Hassan asserted that Al Qaeda fulfills the characteristics of a destructive cult.^[21] Panelists at the convention asked the APA to investigate mind control among destructive cults.

David Koresh, Osama Bin Laden, Jim Jones all the SAME.

Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: Bin Laden's Cult.

Binny is to Islam , what Koresh is to Christianity.

From here on we will be refering to "al Qaeda" as
the "al Qaeda Cult."
