"they don't cut part of their junk off like some of the fundie Muslims do"

Muslims got that from Jews. In practice, they are much better Jews than Christians are, and better than me, too, since I eat pork and crustaceans.

"It's still got a lot of that fresh, buttery cult like smell to it"

From my vantage point, 3000 years or so, even Christians do. Jews most mature... we throw chairs at women in prayer. Christians, less mature by maybe 1400 years, mostly just shoot bullets at abortion providers to get their way. Muslims, 700 years younger, still in the testosterone stage, mass kill to get theirs... sort of like Catholics and Protestants in the 16th century. Mormons are even younger, but may have skipped the "convert or die" stage.
Religions are still evolving in their ethics. Jews had the "convert or die" discussions in biblical days (after we killed everybody in sight?), Catholics had it sometime after they reached the New World and did a lot of killing and converting, and now Muslims are having it.. "violence is anti-Islam", etc.
