That is not the slightest bit surprising! It is because Islam and Mormonism are actually quite similar, and both are very different than Christianity. In the mid-1960s, when I was a teen, I read any number of editorials/articles in my mother's Ensign Magazine calling for a merger of Islam and Mormonism because they were so similar in faith (that was before Mormonism began to try to pass itself off as Christian; they traditionally saw themselves quite different from mainstream Christianity, this claim that they are just a sort of denomination of Christianity.) May I suggest, if you are LDS, before you challenge me on this, that you research this for yourselves. You will find that I am correct about this. Frankly, you do not have a very savory history.

I meant to say this claim of being a sort of denomination of Christianity is quite recent. This is not how Mormons saw themselves for the first century or so of their existence.

I’m not Mormon and don’t doubt anything you say. It’s easy to prove Mormonism is false. The Bible says when Jesus returns everyone will know. Smith said He showed up in the woods in New York. I understand they’re trying to change that part of the history.

What does “Frankly, you do not have a very savory history” mean?

At least Mormons won’t kill you for criticizing their religion.

Here on FR they just accuse you of Mormon-bashing.

Joseph Smith’s fawning regard for the “Alcoran” does make for interesting reading, however.

Pretty sure Mormans have not been beheading people, blowing up buildings, setting off bombs in public events, or murdering cartoonists.
