Please quote me the verse in any Mormon text that says the infidel should be converted at the sword, enslaved, or put to death. Please cite any example of Mormon jihad.
But yes, I have no problem and will defend moderate peace-loving Muslims who simply want to coexist with those of other religions. There are plenty here in the US, despite the rantings of the "Nuke every Muslim" simpletons.
No, the relevant issue is not will we defend peace-loving Muslims. Of course we will! The relevant issue here is would a candidate being a Muslim keep you from voting for him?
Well I can't cite any LDS Scripture, but I could cite you a certain confidential LDS bishop's manual in which it's okay for a pre-born baby to be put to death for reasons of the "health" of the Mom.
"Life of the mom" is one thing; "health" is another. "Health" is overly encompassing...and could justify most abortions.
