Actually I like it when he shows up. The more errors and arrogance on display the better.
That it is backed with that wacky “Hey if I am really condescending and arrogant and try and act knowledgeable more than anybody maybe folks will buy my cult sales pitch and never notice how off the facts are” approach is a lovely bonus...
The LDSers should take notes, and make him director of the training division.

Have you all noticed how the mormons are frantically trying to change the thread subject? From the thread article:
"One of the noteworthy examples of the Latter-day Saint commitment to treasure up true principles and cultivate affirmative gratitude is the admiration that Church leaders have expressed over the years for the spiritual contributions of Muhammad.
As early as 1855, at a time when Christian literature generally ridiculed Muhammad as the Antichrist and the archenemy of Western civilization, Elders George A. Smith (1817–75) and Parley P. Pratt (1807–57) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles delivered lengthy sermons demonstrating an accurate and balanced understanding of Islamic history and speaking highly of Muhammad’s leadership. Elder Smith observed that Muhammad was “descended from Abraham and was no doubt raised up by God on purpose” to preach against idolatry. He sympathized with the plight of Muslims, who, like Latter-day Saints, found it difficult “to get an honest history” written about them. Speaking next, Elder Pratt went on to express his admiration for Muhammad’s teachings, asserting that “upon the whole, … [Muslims] have better morals and better institutions than many Christian nations.” 9
They are throwing everything they can find against the "we mormons admire islam and mohammed" wall, hoping SOMETHING will stick!
I'm scratching my head, wondering why the mormons aren't demanding a seat at the table of islam instead of Christianity, since they have this mutual admiration society and so much in common.
