agreed. good article.
but it omits the connection between Islam and Mormons.

AND the fact that the Mormon Church calls Mohammed a “great religious leader” and teaches “Moral truths were given to them by God”.

...aside from the obvious similarities, both having prophets who were given scripture that came directly from God, polygamy, and much more...
the fact is while Smith condemned ALL other Christian churches to hell, the Mormon faith specifically,
and fairly recently, said:

“On February 15, 1978 the First Presidency, (the highest ruling body of the Church), declared in an official statement titled God’s Love for All Mankind that “the “great religious leaders of the world such as Mohammed, Confucius, and the Reformers, as well as philosophers including Socrates, Plato, and others, received a portion of God’s light. Moral truths were given to them by God to enlighten whole nations and to bring a higher level of understanding to individuals”

2) “While there are fitful efforts to reform Islam, and thus differing interpretations of its dogmas, mainstream Islam is still founded on sharia, Islam’s archaic, immutable legal framework (also known as “Allah’s law”).”
///
this ignores that SHARIA ITSELF, comes DIRECTLY from Islamic scripture.
“reform” is IMPOSSIBLE. because the Quran is believed to be literally the Words of God.
it would be BLASPHEMY to them, to change a single word.
