Fear, stereotypes, ignorance and hunger have this in common: They seldom survive sharing a meal, honest conversation, a desire to learn and making eye contact with the stranger across the table. On the evening of June 4, two Salt Lake City Mormon congregations — the Yale Ward, 1431 E. Gilmer, and the Gregson Ward, 3151 S. 900 East — will do just that, hosting iftar dinners for Muslim neighbors during Ramadan, which begins Friday evening. Sariah Toronto, of the Yale Ward, says the idea came up during a discussion a few months ago about "what else we can do as members of the LDS faith to show support for our neighbors.

Who knows. Maybe they will feel nostalgic and set up a Mountain Meadows type of reception for their visitors.

Bad idea. You are feeding those who will either enslave or kill you.

No room for the adherents of Joseph Smith in the muslim world...

Neville Chamberlain probably thought the same thing when he went to meet with Hitler in Munich (1938). That didn’t work out so well.

We certainly know what Hitler thought, "Our enemies are little worms, I saw them in Munich."

At some point the Mormons need to realize the only thing they have in common with muzzies is the yearning for multiple wives.

I don’t think they should get the idea that they can “love them in” and convert them.

Of course Joey Smith and Muhammad would have gotten along just dandy, they shared a lot in common.

Just what does Mormonism teach??

  1. There are more gods than the one God revealed in the Bible - many more.

  2. God is a glorified, perfected human being with a body of flesh and bone.

  3. God is polygamously married to dozens (at least) of wives, and spends eternity as a type of Celestial Stud engaged in endless copulation producing countless spirit babies.

  4. Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer.

  5. Jesus is the literal Son of God who was conceived through direct sexual intercourse between the Virgin Mary and God the Father -- or in other words, that God committed incest with his daughter Mary.

  6. A person is saved into heaven by virtue of their good works.

  7. A person must accept Joseph Smith in order to receive salvation.

  8. A person must pass in judgment before Joseph Smith before being admitted into Heaven.

  9. A person must believe in Prophet Lorenzo Snow's famous couplet: As man now is, God once was ... As God now is, Man may become.

  10. Non-whites are loathsome and cursed because of something they did or did not do in the dawn of pre-existence whereas people of European descent in general, and Mormons in particular, are white and delightsome.

  11. A person must aspire to be sealed in a Masonic-based temple ceremony to his/her spouse for time and all eternity so that they may someday become gods and goddesses ruling over our own planet.

  12. Wives will only be resurrected if their husbands call forth their Temple Name from beyond the veil.

  13. Christianity ceased to exist after the death of the twelve apostles, to the point where all Christian Churches (especially the Baptists, Catholics, Methodists and Presbyterians) are an abomination to the Lord.

  14. The Mormon Church is Christian.

2 deluded cults playing nice with each other. Hey its a free country—for now. When a mormon infidel gets scorched by a muzzie radical then we shall see how the niceties end up.
