“I mean LDS is just another form of Islam, and I am being nice here.”

Apostle Parley P. Pratt beat you to this observation ... before he was told to shut up.

“I mean LDS is just another form of Islam, and I am being nice here.”

Both appeal to long lost descendants of Abraham to give them a genetic link to a major religious figure, both claim that the truth was subsequently covered up by the religious establishment, both claim to be God's way of bringing the truth about it all back to the world, both have special instructions for the nether regions (Islam, the proper way to poop and pee; Mormon, the special underpants), both promoted polygamy, both explain away the significance of Jesus, both depend on a certain level of xenophobia to keep the group together.

Parley Parker Pratt (12 April 1807 – 13 May 1857)^[1] was a leader in the Latter Day Saint movement and an original member of Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1835 until his murder in 1857. He served in the Quorum with his younger brother, Orson Pratt. He was a missionary, poet, religious writer and longtime editor of the religious publication The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star. Having explored, surveyed, built and maintained the first road for public transportation there, scenic Parley's Canyon in Salt Lake City, was named in his honor.

Pratt practiced plural marriage and had twelve wives. One of Pratt's great-great-grandsons is Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor and candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.^[2]
