More evidence of the close ties of mormon-owned university with Islam.

Islam: An Introduction and Bibliography

Long before the events of September 11, 2001, BYU Studies began working on this special issue focusing on Islam. The authors and editors who worked on this issue have tried to capture the spirit of a religion that provides guidance to the lives of millions of people worldwide. The ever expanding influence of Islam extends to the prominent and often controversial role that Islam plays in contemporary politics. In addition, Muslim theology, scripture, art, science, and communal values have made significant contributions to world civilization. And in quiet yet significant ways, dialogue and contact between Latter-day Saints and Muslims have increased. Consequently, the editors of BYU Studies believe an issue devoted to Islam will increase understanding and allow for continued dialogue and friendship between members of the two faiths. But for such a journey to be successful, one must first understand the basic features of Islam.

Waste of time. 9-11 taught me all I needed to know. Until Islam undergoes its own version of The Reformation, I’ll have nothing to do with a religion that directs its followers to lie to me, to kill me, and to enslave my wife and daughters simply because I’m not one of them.

Uh the only understanding the Muslims will have for Mormons is that they are heretics and need to be beheaded. Remember Mohammed was the LAST Prophet according to the Moo’s. Saying otherwise gets you a haircut at the collar.....

This is an anti-Mormon thread, therefore Mormon = Islam. A White Horse will arrive, and the Executive Branch will be forced to wear Magic Underwear!

Another "I'mnotamormonbut" heard from...ho hum.

One would think that a professed Jew would be more inclined to attack Islam rather than to jump in with apologetics for mormonism....

Circumcise a Latter Day Saint, Dead or Alive!

In response to the revived Mormon practice of “baptizing the dead by proxy” and its application to murdered Holocaust victims, even Anne Frank, and gay AIDs victims: defenders of the dignity of the dead offer our polygamous brethen a little taste of tit for tat!

1. Pick a Mormon from the database
2. Perform the brit. It’s (pretty) painless!

Be the first on your block to give Mitt a Brit!

Didn’t you get the memo? Only Christianity is allowed to be attacked.

Islamic art

The world's smallest collection. The whole exhibit is held in a phone booth and you can see it without changing positions.

Hear here! The vast majority of Westerners do not even know of taqqiya much less comprehend what it means when dealing with the Saudi elites all the way to the insane Imadinnerjacket in Iran. The Islamic demon has madressas all over the world, and every one of them can lie to the government in their area because the demonically inspired religion of Islam instructs them to do so until ALL can be enslaved to the lesser moon goddess whose name was stolen by a blood thirsty pedophile named Mohammed in his fabricating the religion called Islam. ... And Joe Smith ran him a strong second, so far.

Don’t know much about Mormonism and its history do you? They have been buddies for a long time and are very similar even to the point their prophet claimed he was a second Mohammed. Also, they work with Muslim charities rather than Christian ones out of choice.

You need to do some research...

“I will be a second Mohammed to this generation…whose motto, in treating for peace, was ‘the Alcoran [Koran] or the Sword,’ so shall it be eventually with us, ‘Joseph Smith or the Sword.’ ”[1] http://www.saintsalive.com/resourcelibrary/mormonism/qi-will-be-a-second-mohammedq

True. There are 2 billon Christians, half that many Muslims and half that many Hindus. Christianity predominates. It teaches to love your enemy, not kill them. Hinduism is so far off the wall that it really is only for Indians.

Secularists, the godless, leftists, relative moralists and Hollyweirdians hate Christianity because it condemns their life style. Other faiths don't condemn like the Christians. Christianity is SO anti-American ethos: more is better, stuff, money, fame, status and so on.

Catholics are especially the targets of those mentioned above because it condemns abortion, artificial contraception, divorce-remarriage, women priests, homosexual behavior, homosexual marriage and a host of other things Americans LOVE and promote.

Besides one becomes a bigot and/or anti-Semitic bigot if those other faiths are attacked. Attacking Christianity make the secularists, godless, leftists, relative moralists and Hollyweirians smile.

No Christians are attacked as much as Evangelicals are, they are truly seen as almost aliens and sub human by the media, they are portrayed that way in films and TV also.
