"Comparing the two faiths in other instances, Scot said the Bible taught that there is no marriage in heaven, whereas in Islam's holy book Muslims could expect many wives, as well as young men, in paradise.
Is this about Muslims or Mormons?"
There is a point to your cuteness. Both cults were founded by men (Smith, Muhammed) whose main impetus in founding their 'religions' was the desire to break social mores of the day in order to be able to 'enjoy' more than one woman.
The parallel ends there, of course. Despite this flaw, Smith and his follwers have turned out to be model citizens in most ways, while Mohammed was a pedophillic psychopath, whose most fervent followers continue this tradition to the present date.

I tend to stay away from the word "cult," because neither the Mormon nor the Muslim freepers appreciate it, but thank you for sharing your opinion.
