@ConfessionsExMu have you seen this documentary, 'One of Us'? Parallels between hardline Sunni (and I believe Salafi) and Hasidic Jews seems uncanny.

Unsettling, too. Like, I admittedly used to assume certain problems were unique to Islam and Wahhabis. On the other hand, it reminded me personally about consistency - if we condemn problems in Muslim communities and Islam, we should do the same for others too.
Judaism is the mother of the Abrahamic religions. There is a lot plagiarized from it to make up Islam. So many similarities. And similarities w Jehovas Witness and Scientology too. All religions have common elements...esp the extremist ideologies.
