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 Saint–Muslim interaction mentioned above, together with the Church’s 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 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."
It is the mormon church who is reaching out to Islam in a very PC way.
The Mormon Church is reaching out to Islam.
Doesn’t mean that Islam really even cares, or will continue to care. Put in mind that Mormonism is guilty of a high blasphemy to Islam. They are guilty of believing that God himself came down and lived as a human being. Islam does not allow god to be portrayed in a human way. Those who believe this are infidels. Local Muslims have also cooperated with Christian Churches (Catholic and Protestant) in a variety of locations. Once again, you fail to show me something unique to this church. Once again, let me tell you exactly what I have heard at an Episcopal School, which none of the staff disapproved of. There is no association confirmed, just the attempt to reach out, which is a proven failure when you ask how many Muslims convert to Mormonism, or Christianity? Does this Church think that they can win? The idea is ludicrous.
Secondly, name me one liberal politician who has spoken highly, or even mentioned this Mormon Church at all? It’s not a question of whether or not they are trying to act PC, but whether someone is actually allying with them. Gay Rights and Hate Crimes Laws needed allies to succeed, specifically because the people involved were such a minority of the population. Will liberals provide assistance to the Church? Not a chance! Will gay rights activists do this? Again, not a chance of allying to their cause! I would completely agree with GLDGUN on this one. Get the facts straight that this group is on the decline in the U.S., and has lost every major attempt to take any power. They cannot gain power in the current climate, because they lack the allies that liberalism, including Gay Rights, Affirmative Action, and Illegal Immigration have possessed
Muslims and Mormons who attend each other’s religious services or events often report feeling very much at ease. .....The two faiths often co-host social and educational programs.
The Mormon-owned Brigham Young University operates a world-class research operation in translating ancient Arab religious texts, which many Muslims interpret as more than a token sign of interest.....
THE MORMON CHURCH has also DONATED LAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ISLAMIC MOSQUES,....
