It seems to me that by the "logic" that muslims use, that muhamed and the koran came after the bible, thereby replacing it, then all the muslims should convert to Mormons, since Joseph Smith came about later than muhamed... Or Scientology, since L. Ron Hubbard came even later on...

I believe you misunderstand their logic. They claim that Mohammed was the last prophet. As a Mormon, I'd have to disagree with that, of course. On the other hand, I'd have to agree with the Muslims as far as LRON's prophetic vision is concerned.

I don't know, we have a church nearby that's been around since the early 1980's called the "Lord of Life" Church started by Mark somebody-or-other. I think everybody should convert to that religion (whatever religion it is). (Actually, I know some people who attend that church, and they are the 'salt of the earth'.)

Islam is the most dysfunctional religion around. Notice that many of those in our society who convert to it seem to be a bit dysfunctional themselves? It seems to pick up converts in prison. Could the violent, militant message of islam be one that attracts them?
