1912. Illustrated. From the Editorial Committee: The title of this, the latest of the textbooks issued by the Council of Women for Home Missions, may need a word of explanation. It is generally acknowledged that Mormonism is similar to Mohammedanism in its endorsement of the practice of polygamy, and its ideas of heaven. Many other points of similarity between these systems have been noted by students, and the Book of Mormon has marked resemblance to the Koran. As all ancient religions have a modern equivalent, Mormonism can justly be claimed to be the modern form of Mohammedanism, and not incorrectly termed the Islam of America. Contents: History of the Mormons; The Sacred Books of the Mormons; Organization and Methods of the Mormon Church; Mormonism as a Religion; Mormonism as a Life; and Missions Among the Mormons.

From p. 141 (my capitals):

“The writer heard Joseph F. Smith say, ‘The blessings of the gospel come to the women only through the men,’ meaning their husbands. For this reason a woman was told that, because she married a Gentile, her husband could not raise her from the dead, so SHE WAS ‘SEALED’ TO HER FATHER FOR ETERNITY. He, therefore, could raise her up and SHE WOULD THEN BE HIS WIFE.”

Ew. The things the even active members have no idea about…

I was rather disappointed with it. It really doesn't explore the parallels to Islam that much. It is more a Protestant missionary guide for working in the Southwest, for those who would rather be Christian missionaries among Muslims, but don't have the financial or linguistic resources to do so.
