Why thank you Grey fox...I think I missed that post...didn’t realize it was questioned that Mormons are snuggling up with the Islamists. Your links just enlarged my already understanding of their involvement politically...as that is the reason they are doing the things. But they are also meeting with Islamist leadership overseas. I’ll have to find that...but even FR has posted threads about this. Thanks again.
To support my statement “Mormon Leadership is bellying up with Islam”.....just a few links below.....
President Packer said, “Church members and Muslims share similar high standards of decency, temperance and morality. … As societal morality and behavior decline in an increasingly permissive world, the church and many within Islam increasingly share natural affinities.”

Southern California Muslim leaders traveled to Salt Lake City as part of a delegation to visit Mormon leaders. The Mormon Church opened its doors to Muslims for the purpose of educating one another about their histories and traditions........ Muslim leaders from Salt Lake City also met with the Southern California delegation. A trip to BYU, about 40 minutes south of Salt Lake City, included a discussion with ....”college students studying Islam.”

This idea of prophecy and a line of prophets would be familiar to both Muslims and Mormons. The fact that Joseph Smith and Muhammad both were religious as well as political leaders is another similarity. Muslims and Mormons also share a strict moral certitude about right and wrong and ban substances like alcohol. This morality led one Salt Lake imam we interviewed to declare Utah the “best place in the United States for Muslims. It’s the best kept secret.

When the sun went down around 7:30, the... ‘Mormon men followed the Muslim men’.. into the front of the mosque’s carpeted prayer room to observe evening prayers.......
Mormon women, all of whom donned head scarves before entering the prayer room, sat behind the Muslim women... in the same room. The women were separated from the men by a sheer cloth which divided the room, a common practice meant to keep away distractions while prayers are being recited, a mosque member said.........”As a Latter-day Saint we’re very devoted, and it’s very obvious the Muslims have the same type of lifestyle and devotion,” said David Lewis of Ladera Ranch.
“In their way, with their rituals and their prayers, they have the devotion that we also have,” Lewis said. “That faith, or that belief, that takes you to action, that creates a desire to live a certain lifestyle...I think that’s what’s neat about being here and witnessing this.
