Ahh yes, very true. But even Christians have their 'lunatic' - not to say, irrelevant - but typical and thus far, manageable - fringe. No consolation to victims of fringe/radical/maybe insane justice; of course.
Clearly, Islam has it's 'lunatic fringe' as well; as judged by our Judeo/Christian i.e. Western - and 'Eastern'- for that matter - Morally Reasoned MO's. Radical Islam is just not viewed by same; by enough Muslims - yet. And it's 'victims'; we know; are far greater in number.
The question does remain, however; 'if' and 'when' will there be such a grand critiquing. And what happens to our civilization; if there is none. . .
First of all, that isn’t mormon ‘fringe’ it is MAINSTREAM MORMON DOCTRINE. These people acted on the orders of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and other LDS prophets who were gods on earth to them. Not ‘fringe’ at all.
Secondly, they cannot place those actions solely in the past because they still teach the doctrines.
Thirdly, their own founding prophet, the one they sing praises to (and basically worship) stated that he was to be a ‘second mohammed’ and that ‘it shall be Mormonism or the sword’. I can give you references for all this if you wish.
Mormonism is A LOT A LOT closer to Islam (and in bed with Islam) than most Americans realize.
