Common Threads between Islam and Mormonism

I find this quote particularly insightful: "3. In both cases, Islam and Mormonism see their religion as complete within itself. Above all, both repudiate biblical Christianity and identify orthodox Christianity as a false faith."

[Da Coyote]

Hmmmm, such logic is worthy of someone who studies marshmallow roasting.

After all, there are so many more comparisons...both religions have members who breathe, eat, and take smelly Obamas afterwards....etc, etc.

However, I really cannot find any references to Mormon jihad, any Mormon suicide bombers, any Mormon burkas in recent literature.

We do not need to knock Mormons to find reasons to exclude RINOmney from any consideration for political office.

He is simply a wimp. A career nothing. Someone who’d flunk any demanding university class. In other words, he is a politician.

[dog breath]

Both were started by crazy people with illusions of grandeur.

Excellent. Sure way to get everyon’e hate juices flowing on a tuesday.

[Responsibility2nd]

These six points are all very well and good. But then the author totally bones himself with making this a political litmus test.

If I do hold my nose and vote for Mitt - the fact that he is a Mormon will make it easier for me. And no, I’m not an LDS’r.

Last time I checked, Mormons weren’t calling for the destruction of Israel and the United States, flying hijacked planes into buildings, setting out IEDs on roadways, launching rockets into Israeli schools, calling for the beheading of anyone who insults them, or calling for a worldwide caliphate.

An argument can be made some facets of Mormonism are distasteful, but to liken it to Islam is utter BS.

Read this very good description of your faith and you will know why Christians call Mormonism a false religion.

[Winstons Julia]

I’m personally protestant ... but this sub is meant to offend in the manner of progressives who like to write “Similarities between the Republicans and the Nazis” articles.

"If I do hold my nose and vote for Mitt - the fact that he is a Mormon will make it easier for me." A very sad declaration from you. But then if Milt gets the nomination to run against barry bassturd, the media will educate you on the vagaries of mormonISM. If you still find his mormonism to be a plus, well, sadder still. Mormonism is the spirit of anti-Christ writ large, stealthily, and well funded.

"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859]

Given this mormonic teaching that is the very essence of Antichrist, it is still amazing how much LDS inc apologists want folks to believe LDS inc is Christianity restored! MormonISM is the very essence of slick anti-Christ inveigling, and the promoters of this anti-Christian religion will continue to be exposed and opposed so long as Christians are not squelched by the political correctness approach inherent in the lie that exposing mormonISM is hate or hatred of the people trapped in this demonic cult.

Thanks for the quote. Doesn’t exactly jibe with “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” from Hebrews 9:22.

Many people today are quoting a statement reputedly made by Martin Luther, the great reformer, that he "would rather be ruled by a competent Turk (a Muslim) than an incompetent Christian." First of all, there is no evidence whatsoever that Martin Luther ever said these words. But even if he did say them, it would have been a gross exaggeration used to make a point. He never lived under a Muslim ruler and did not know what that would be like. But I did. And I can tell you, there is no such thing as choosing between Muslim and non-Muslim leaders under Islam.

Ping to read later.

Yea, you win. First one to bring up Romney.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

1. The Osmonds are a big family and are Mormons.

2. The Bin-Ladens are a big family and are Muslims.

Coincidence? I think not.

[svcw]

Mormon will make it easier for me Why?

[Jack Hydrazine]

If Mitt was a conservative I’d vote for him regardless of his Mormon faith.

[NakedRampage]

"Both believe that Christianity was corrupt and incomplete until their respective founders came on the scene"

Martin Luther?

A Mormon and a Muzzie walk into a bar.

The Muzzie declares to the bartender and its patrons that there is only one god and his name is Allah.

The Mormon gets a surprised look on his face and declares to the bartender and its patrons, “You aren’t going to believe this but my name just happens to be Allah!”

LOL!

Which part of mormonISM do you find tasteful?

You are aware that Joseph Smith said he was the next mohammad, correct?

You are aware that mormonISM and islam have been creating partnerships with each other for more than two decades, correct?

When you say the comparison is BS, which parts? The list is pretty clear as to why they are nearly identical in these aspects.

[Responsibility2nd]

Very well. I see your point. YOU obviously know Mormons who live lives of deceit, dishonesty and debauchery. You probably know hundreds of Mormons who cheat on their wives, and live in opposition to their church’s teachings.

As for me... I know of thousands of CATHOLICS who live in opposition to papal theocracies as they support abortion and live like Kennedy’s - but nope... Don’t know of any Mormons who do.

But that’s just me.

So. If the time came for me to vote for a man who I could not trust politically AND religiously verses a man who I could not trust politically but COULD trust religiously; then the answer is simple.

That said... I still hope I do not have to vote for Mitt the politician.
