Well. I ran across this today. Controlling religion, planned to attack a temple, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Does anyone know if he is/was mormon?

Well, your article says he prays to Allah and wanted the violence to happen before the end of Ramadan, so it seems a safe bet he considered himself a Muslim.

That is why I said is/was. The conversion is recent.

"The 18-year-old, who allegedly said he was raised in a “very Christian and conservative” household, said he had turned to ISIS teachings, per the federal criminal complaint"

I answered your question with regard to the "is" in your statement. The boy is not Mormon.

Isis he a Mormon? Not any more, bismallah.

> Locally, LDS helped the Islamic Society of Orange County’s Al-Rahman Mosque in Garden Grove develop its library with a $15,000 donation. “Their beliefs are similar to ours,” Robert Bremmer, a Mormon bishop, said at that facility’s open-mosque day in 2005. “They have modest dress, and so do we. They believe in all the [Old Testament] prophets, as do we.”

They don't even agree on polygamy anymore.

I don't know where he is actually from, Sus.

Cd'A in Idaho is a very Christian area, not so much Mormon.

I don't get why he would be in that area for his brand of activism at all. It has a reputation for white skinhead activity.

The relationship of radicalization and the internet means he could be from anywhere though. Interesting case.
