As of 1977 all male members over 12 years of age are priests like Aaron in the bible. Your duty is to convert outsiders to become initiates for Aaronic priesthood. You're only a true Mormon when you're at least an Elder. Everyone else is an outsider. So prior to 1977 Mormons were like fundamentalist Islam lite and slightly more enlightened than fundamentalist Zionists.
comparing mormons to islam is ridiculous, but just like islam, the real crazy comes from their actual beliefs.
theres so many things about mormonism that are just so insane, the details would sound unbelievable, but as madcap and wacky as mormon beliefs are, they are almost completely harmless, unlike islam, which prefers it's crazy to have a harder edge.
there are no militant extremist organizations in mormonism, and if some jackass were to create a mromon version of hamas or hezzbollah, or abu sayif, or the al aqusa martyrs brigade, the local mormons would turn on them like rabid wolverines , and drag them before the magistrate themselves.
hate all you want, but at least keep it reasonable.
