Does a Mormon believe that if an unbelievers don't convert to Mormonism, they should be KILLED?

Someone else asked a similar question a few days ago:

I do not feel threatened by it because I don’t think that they will be attempting to convert by the sword.

The gruesome be headings of some 40 Ute corpses in 1850, heads stacked in boxes,

and hung by their long hair from the eves of buildings at Fort Utah,

has long been ignored, “You didn’t see the Indians beheading the Mormons.”

-- Historian Robert Carter

Let's put it this way: Does a Mormon believe that if an unbelievers don't convert to Mormonism, they should be KILLED?

Let's put it this way: The very first Sept. 11 terrorist massacre in this country didn't occur in 2001...'twas 1857...where 120 innocent children and their unarmed parents (most from Arkansas) were slaughtered at point-blank range in Southern Utah. (May I suggest you rent the DVD, September Dawn)

Who were among these key Mormons who led the slaughter?

* Lds Stake President Isaac Haight. Convicted? (Not on your life)

* Counselor to Lds Stake President Haight, John Mount Higbee. Convicted? (Not on your life)

* Parowan Stake President William Horne Dame. Convicted? (Not on your life; in fact, his stake presidency came after the massacre!)

* Lds bishop Philip Klingensmith. Convicted? (Not on your life)

* Future Lds bishop William Edwards. Convicted? (Not on your life; in fact, his bishop role came after the massacre!)

* Lds bishop John D. Lee. Convicted? (Yes...and the ONLY man so convicted -- and hung)

The Mormons covered it up so that NONE -- minus Lee decades later -- would be held responsible.

If you had neighbors who wouldn't dare hurt a fly, but would cover up mass murder...would that somehow make you feel better 'bout them?

So...please 'xplain the difference...
...tween those who would slaughter
....and those who cover up the slaughter...
...or who cover up the "cover-uppers"...

Because you'll find a number of contemporary Mormon leaders in that last category or two!
