This was something that I recalled and have pointed out before: Parley P. Pratt said, "Mormonism is closer to the Crescent than the Cross". He even praised Mohometanism (Mohammedism) because they practiced a form of the Word of Wisdom (as Mormons do no alcohol, fasting, no over indulgence) Practiced polygany and of course he favored the killing of infidels and blood atonement for apostates, Patriarchal Priesthood. --- He felt the U.S.A. would have been better and would of been better if it adopted Muslim creed and ways as opposed to Catholicism/Christianity of the present. JoD Vol 3 dis 7--if read, it will chill your bones. Remember, it was the killing of Parley P. Pratt that made the Mormons and John D. Lee feel justified for the Mountain Meadow Massacre since the Arkansas emigrants were bragging about killing P.Pratt; and they felt compelled to invoke the Temple "Oath of Vengeance" that was part of their temple covenants.
