Disclaimer: I am former LDS and "anti" mormonism. I post articles from official mormon sources that often relate to current discussions taking place on the forum to provide a means for open discussion in the Religion forum.

There are discussions ongoing regarding Glenn Beck and his current practice of inserting religion into his political comments. Those who are not familiar with Beck's mormonism may find this article informative.

 
FROM THE RELIGION FORUM MODERATOR:

Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected

Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule.

On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”

When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”

Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.

Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

 Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I’m fast discovering a nother similarity between mormons and Moslems...

The Moslems are connecting themselves to early American history just as the mormons have ...

Will the Moslems have their own version of the White horse prophecy and claim they are the future “saviors” of America and the Constitution as the mormons have ???

Have you been taking notice of Barry’s speeches ???

Hes sliding the Moslems into US history where they never were...

hes making them a legitimate part of the founding of our country...

Just little unsourced bits and peices are made to look big and important...

Is anyone asking him where he is getting some of it from ???

take this latest dinner...

Barry said

“The first Muslim ambassador to the United States, from Tunisia, was hosted by President Jefferson, who arranged a sunset dinner for his guest because it was Ramadan —- making it the first known iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago.”

Where did he get that from well its in Wiki...

and Wiki sourced a speech at another Iftar dinner last year...

Farah Anwar Pandith who is the “Special Representative to Muslim Communities” for Secretary of state hillary Clinton, said

“Two centuries ago, Thomas Jefferson held the first recorded Iftar with the Ambassador from Tunisia at sunset. It was not until 1999 that then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton – (applause) – broke new ground by hosting the first-ever Eid celebration at the White House. And now at sunset, during the holy month of Ramadan, Iftars are as common in Washington as an evening reception.”

(Farah Anwar Pandith, Special Representative to Muslim Communities, The Annual State Department Iftaar Dinner, Benjamin Franklin Room, Washington, DC, September 15, 2009)
