Aren't you making a logical leap there? Assuming that the "suicide bomber terrorist fringe" were an organized part of Islam, that would make them a sect, byt you write about "Islam being considered a cult". Following your logic, you then would also have to write about Christainity being considered a cult. Also, a recent article in the Japan Times reported about an Iraqui woman helping to get female suicide bombers by having girls raped and then getting them to "expiate" their shame by becoming suicide bombers, hardly the sign of a sect.
