Also, the muslim religion is a false one. Insofar as religion is revelation of the Divine (or Universal, Absolute, Cosmic, whatever) to the mind of mortal man through symbolism (necessary because mortal man's mind cannot comprehend the Divine), that religion is untrue. Buddhism is true. Christian religion is true, of course. Even the Old Testament is true. But neither the Judaic nor the Islamic religions are true. This explains why Theosophy has such trouble with these two. One is the raving of a demon-possessed maniac, and the other is the law of a demon-possessed people.

Interesting way of thinking of it. I've always felt Christ's and Buddha's teachings were so much along the right path. However there is something to say about the teachers under islam, considered "Sufis" like Ibn Arabi, Rumi, and many of the Buddhist/Muslim/Yogis in the Khorosan region. Anyways, I'm curious for you to expand why you would say why islam/christianity(hinduism is untrue (at the very least mainstream) compared to Christ and Buddha's teachings.

I don't say there aren't smart people who follow Islam. Of course there are. Some of them are proper mystics too. However, given that Muhammad was a demon-possessed maniac and pedophile, how on Earth are we to consider anything he ever wrote or spoke something else than drivel?

Just look at the Quran: According to it, Jesus is the son of God, but Muhammad, who says the contrary of Jesus on most things, IS THE ONLY PROPHET. Therefore, God sent his son to Earth FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, ergo God is insane.

Er, no, thanks. As for Hinduism, it is ancient mysticism but not a true religion, because it is not a revelation of the divine / universal. It is a transposition into acceptable symbolism (for minds of thousands of years ago, mind you) of natural-philosophical phenomena. In this sense, it is much like paganism such as the other polytheistic religions like the ancient greek, roman and norse ones, for example.
