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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Michael Youssef wrote: "In America, we have the great privilege of choosing candidates based on our core values, rather than how they identify with our theological point of view."
In my worldview, one's theological point of view affects his core values. Therefore, it behooves us to examine our candidate's religion as well as his public record. To ignore a man's theological point of view is to ignore his base motives in everything else. Ignore it at your peril.
Case in point: Obama.

Both religions use/used their faith as an excuse to sexually subjugate women via polygamy, arranged marriages, and child brides.
