Personally, I see a lot of similarities between Joseph Smith and Mohammad. Both believed an angel came and dictated a personal testimony to them, both married many women, some whom were under the age of 16. And both ascribed to weird religious theories about the after life not supported by the Torah (Old Testament) even though they claimed their beliefs stemmed from such Scripture.

I don't however, give a real flip about someone's belief as the worst two presidents in my life time were supposedly pious Southern Baptists--Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

I don't recall hearing about Joseph Smith having his followers massacre people who refused to accept him as the prophet.
