"(2) both had violent early histories (although Mormonism has become peaceful, while Islam has not)"

Upon further reflection, Judism and Christianity both have violence associated with them in the past as well. King David slaughtered men, women and children to rid the land of Israel of "infidels". In Christianity, we have the Inquisition, the Crusades, and more recently, the murder of abortion providers by "Christians".

Of course, the mainstream of these faiths do not engage or support such violence anymore, while Islam does.
