Having some association and experience with Mormons, I was wondering if the girl might be a Mormon. The Mormon culture is a very protective group of people and I can see such an involvement. I admire some of the attributes of the Mormon society, However, I don’t feel comfortable with a large international singular/self centered religious body with the influence like the Mormons being in such a powerful position. IF I’m correct Smith was on such a path for domination when he was leading the start of the Mormon church. Of course I take Islam to be very much worse.

May I bring to your notice the Roman Catholic church, of which I am a rather insignificant member ? Its much larger and wealthier, just as centralized, and has a very long and extensive history of political involvement and controversy. Its the worlds oldest political institution in fact. In the US it has far more economic, political and ideological influence than the Mormons.
Precisely the same things were said about John F Kennedy at the time.
