Oh my God. You dredge out of the last 800 years, or whatever it is, three instances of atrocities by non-Muslims. Well, well - you desreve the gold star and you can sit in the front of the class.
So Mormons are *just like* Muslim jihadis because some long dead Mormons killed at most 140 non-Mormons. That was nasty no doubt, but since Mormons haven’t made a habit of that practice, it was a one time atrocity, you are performing dangerous contortions to try to make Mormons out to be as evil as Muslims. ANyone who reads this tomorrow will laugh out loud to read your idiocy.
Yes, Catholics have done their share too - but guess what, the Catholics that did such atrocities - get this next part - weren’t following the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Bible - nor his example! They were screwing up! But Muslims, OTOH, when they commit atrocities (which, btw, they are STILL DOING - LIKE AS OF TODAY!!!) - they ARE following the teachings of and example of their spiritual leader. They have never, ever given up the practice of slaughter, forced conversions, and taking over other countries that dont’ belong to them and stealing their riches, destroying their churches, monasteries, temples and stupas, and enslaving their peoples. As happend in all the Middle Eastern countries, Iran,Iraq, Afghanistan, Greater India (and hence getting it chopped up into three countries), Malaysia, Indonesia, etc etc etc.
Do you really believe those three instances are it? Do you really need a longer list?

I'm talking about historical attitudes toward Mormons, which were not as friendly as they are today and still aren't so friendly for some people. What's to stop a modern Mormon from following the examples of their founders?

But they didn't think they were. In some cases, they thought they were being good Catholics. In other cases, they just didn't care what their religion said.

Most people who call themselves Christian are not Biblical scholars. Most people who call themselves Muslim are not Koranic scholars. You want to argue that all Muslims think and behave the same way. It's no more true than the claim that all Christians think and behave the same way. Whether they are good or bad members of their faith is irrelevant.

Yes, Muslims have done plenty of nasty things. And how has keeping them out or killing them been working out to stop them from spreading? The problem with isolating them is that it isolates them from the ideas that eliminate the problem. The radical Muslims know that. That's why they are bombing girls' schools in Afghanistan.
