I'm not a Mormon, so I can't speak to any specific religious beliefs they may hold. I have read portions of the Book of Mormon and don't remember any references to having sexual relations after death. But I'm not saying it doesn't make an inference to that possibility.

I do know that Christianity, which Mormon's are considered part of, have a faith based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus didn't condone terrorism and modern Christian's don't support terrorism either. When I look at how Muslim's interpret their Koran teachings, I see a definite desire to spread the word of Mohammand, at all costs.

It has been pointed out time and again that Middle Eastern Muslim's have a militant view towards anyone not part of the Islamic religion. Many anti-Jew and anti-Christian passsages from the Koran have been posted on FreeRepublic. They're very troubling even to some Muslim's. But since 9-11-2001, we've seen few serious remarks from the Islamic community, condemning those heinous attacks. There are over 1-billion Muslim's in the world. I would have expected a considerable amount of outrage coming from the Muslim leadership, at the very least. All we've heard from the entire Islamic religion is almost utter silence on the subject. Even American Muslim's have been very quiet.

I think that is what disturbs so many people. I know it does me. I would feel quite a bit differently if the entire American, at least, Muslim community would have come out after 9-11 and unanimously condemned 9-11.
