One thing NOT in common...the LDS probably won’t issue a decree to have you slain or beheaded.

1. Both believe that Christianity was corrupt and incomplete until their respective founders came on the scene. For Islam, it was Muhammad; for Mormons, it was Joseph Smith.

And for Protestants, it was Martin Luther.

Glaring-omission alert.

I"m not a Mormon and avoid the Mormon bashing threads but this is really idiotic,whats next advocating that we send LDS members to the showers ?

Take this bigoted crap over to Dummies Unlimited

I have this private theory that there is no difference between darkness and light.

After all, you never see them both in the same place, do you? It’s like Michael Moore and the Martian moon Phobos. You see one, but not the other. Curious, isn’t it?

Think about it; that’s all I’m sayin’.

what a load of crap

now go back and find how similar islam is to the bible believing Christians.

WTF is going on?

[truthguy]

Thanks Kaslin, I just won $25 today because I predicted that we would see crackpot articles like the one you posted today on this site. I bet that before the end of the year we would see threads comparing Mormonism to Islam on Free Republic. He said we wouldn't and bet me $25 that it wouldn't happen. I knew a crackpot would post this so I'm a little richer today than I was before. Thanks again.

Missed the big one - both were founded by individuals with a predilection for multiple wives, and both (mirabile dictu) were belief systems that sanctioned polygamy (at least, in the case of Mormonism, in its original form).

[Terry Mross]

I believe it is okay in both religions to give a falsitude.

Obama meets with top Mormon leader

"President Barack Obama was presented with five large leather-bound volumes today by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that detail his family history going back multiple generations covering hundreds of years. The presentation was made by Church President Thomas S. Monson and Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. They were accompanied by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who is also a member of the Church.

President Monson said: 'President Obama’s heritage is rich with examples of leadership, sacrifice and service. We were very pleased to research his family history and are honored to present it to him today.'

Elder Oaks, who oversees the Church’s family history program, said, 'The Church has great resources and experience in genealogy work, and we are proud to have researched such a unique and impressive family history.'

Mormons, Muslims get along by creating books, not destroying them

Kevin Barney, Independent Mormon blogger for By Common Consent

The threat by Pastor Terry Jones to burn the Qur'an was all over the news. What if, instead of destroying Muslim books, we were actually to create them, by translating the classic works of the Islamic golden age into English?

That is the project Dan Peterson, a professor of Arabic at Brigham Young University has been engaged in for more than a decade, a project that has built tremendous goodwill and resulted in many lasting friendships between Muslims and those of the Mormon faith.

This past Sunday evening, Peterson was in town as part of a BYU humanities outreach to give a lecture at the Mormon Church in Naperville on BYU's Islamic Translation Series. Several hundred people were in attendance, including several dozen Muslim dignataries and guests.

Peterson recalled that when he was first appointed as a professor and began to teach a course in Islamic philosophy, he was chagrined by the lack of classic Islamic texts available in English translation. You can walk into any Borders or Barnes and Noble and find multiple translations of the great thinkers of Greece and Rome, but not so for Islam...

My "theological point of view", is the basis for my "core values".

Common Threads between Islam and Mormonism

Pretty funny to see this now. I posted this back in 2010:

Both appeal to long lost descendants of Abraham to give them a genetic link to a major religious figure, both claim that the truth was subsequently covered up by the religious establishment, both claim to be God's way of bringing the truth about it all back to the world, both have special instructions for the nether regions (Islam, the proper way to poop and pee; Mormon, the special underpants), both promoted polygamy, both explain away the significance of Jesus, both depend on a certain level of xenophobia to keep the group together.

America is lucky to have a large population of good independent people like the Mormons. They maintain strong family values and high morals. They have their own welfare system, are patriotic and love America (except Harry Reid), plus they have a history of not taking crap from anyone.

There are, of course, exceptions in EVERY religion.

You have to ask yourself this question. Would you rather have your daughter marry a Mormon or a member of the Al Queda branch of Islam?

I’m no fan of Romney (the flip-flopping RINO), but will vote for him to keep 0bama (the America hating Muslim) from destroying the United States.

These Mormon-hating threads are getting quite tiresome and extremely childish.
