Similar beliefs does not confirm association. This is a fallacy. As someone who attended a liberal Episcopal school (look up the policies of the Episcopal Church, and what it split over) the same was said by the liberal students at this school, that Islam and Muhammad, along with others, had elements of truth to them. Is the Episcopal Church on your list for approving of those similar words? I just wonder if it is. Because you don’t sound as if you know the facts about how powerful of a force Islam is, especially with help from political correctness that Mormonism does not have at all.
Reading the link I provided would have made clear that association IS confirmed.
A Latter-day Saint Perspective on Muhammad
"A cabinet minister in Egypt, aware of the common ground shared by Muslims and Latter-day Saints, once remarked to Elder Howard W. Hunter of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles that if a bridge is ever built between Christianity and Islam it must be built by the Mormon Church. 13 The examples of Latter-day SaintMuslim interaction mentioned above, together with the Churchs establishment in 1989 of two major centers for educational and cultural exchange in the Middle East (Jerusalem and Amman), reflect the traditional attitude of respect for Islam that Church leaders have exhibited from earliest times. These activities represent tangible evidence of Latter-day Saint commitment to promote greater understanding of the Muslim world and witness an emerging role for the Church in helping to bridge the gap that has existed historically between Muslims and Christians."
This comment from you makes no sense to me at all.
"Because you dont sound as if you know the facts about how powerful of a force Islam is, especially with help from political correctness that Mormonism does not have at all."
It is the mormon church who is reaching out to Islam in a very PC way.
