This is enlightening, although I wish there was more. Did elder Mormons study Islam before they formed Mormon theology? Because as I understand both religions, they really have a lot of beliefs in common.

Joseph Smith was so enamored with islam that he declared himself the next mohammad. And yes, there are dozens upon dozens of similarities. And yes, SLC lds and islam have been partnering for years, going so far as praying together in each others "sanctuaries" because they feel so comfortable with each other.
