Re #31 ...

Wow ... just wow ... that's considerably more favorable to Islam than it is to orthodox Christianity.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that Muhammad was an inspired teacher raised up by God to teach His word.

Amazing. Note that they don't grant that status to any Catholic or Orthodox leader.

"I believe myself that Mahomed, whom the Christians deride and call a false prophet and stigmatize with a great many epithets --I believe that he was a man raised up by the Almighty, and inspired to a certain extent by Him to effect the reforms which he did in his land, and in the nations surrounding. He attacked idolatry, and restored the great and crowning idea that there is but one God."

A "great and crowning idea" which the LDS reject, of course.

Notice here that this Mormon leader CLEARLY differentiates between Christianity and Mormonism. He DOES NOT say "some Christians" or "non-Mormon Christians," he says "THE Christians" -- when I refer to a group as "THE whatevers" it is clear that I do not count myself among that group.
