Hmmmm looks to me like the ‘restored’ gospel as akin to Mohammed’s gospel. A focus on one man, sexual perversions, polygamy, obsession with amassing virgins for yourself, the abuse of women, blood atonement for those who would dare question ‘the man’....and on and on it goes... [CG]

Bingo! Even before 1900, one of Brigham Young's grandsons, Eugene Young, was publicly railing in an article published in The North American Review about LDS pushing of polygamy and Brigham's doctrine of blood atonement. Re: LDS-Muslim resemblance, consider this quote from a 19th century LDS General Authority who has a Utah city named after him (Heber City): (Heber C. Kimball in the Tabernacle, Feb. 1, 1857: "They [his wives] have got to live their religion, serve their God, and do right as well as myself. Suppose that I lose the whole of them before I go into the spiritual world, but that I have been a good, faithful man all the days of my life, and lived my religion, and had favor with God, and was kind to them, do you think I will be destitute there? No. The Lord says there are more there than there are here. They have been increasing there; they increase there a great deal faster than they do here, because there is no obstruction. They do not call upon the doctors to kill their offspring. In this world very many of the doctors are studying to diminish the human race. In the spiritual world...we will go to Brother Joseph...and he will say to us, 'Come along, my boys, we will give you a good suit of clothes. Where are your wives?' 'They are back yonder; they would not follow us.' 'Never mind,' says Joseph, 'here are thousands; have all you want.'" (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, p. 209)

Don't you all see? With the poor heavenly neighborhood Muslim martyrs inherit, why, they'll be limited to a 72-virgin quota. But the Mormon general authorities promise you an unlimited supply of wives...'have all you want,' he says!
