Re your comment: Islamic radicals are not the only violent religious nuts running around.

You might want to discuss apples with apples, etc. Not only do we not see any Mormons, or others of faith in the US trying to destroy our civilization, where bin Laden has already declared war on the US in 1996, Jews, Christians, and Americans....He has not rescinded that directive.

>>>>>>> In 1994, according to the World Almanac, there were 1,033,453,000 Muslims world-wide. Note that that figure is about a hundred times the number of Mormons, and even if you took away a billion Muslims, there would still be three times as many Muslims in the world as Mormons. Islam is still expanding today in Africa, where thousands of people are acknowledging Allah as the only God and Mohammed as his Prophet.
By 1996 the number of Muslims had increased to 1,126,325,000, for a gain of almost 91 million since 1994. Just think! Ninety-one million new Muslims! That is an increase of 8.98% for the two years, or over 4% per year. Just the increase for Islam amounts to about nine times the entire membership of the Mormon church!

Religion was their life, to say they were religious is an understatement

They were motivated by fear of being driven out of their homes again. Religion is a non-issue. Their religion did not call for attacking settlers, it did not sanction attacking settlers, it did not say anything about attacking settlers or anyone else for that matter.

The same is not true for Islam. Period.
