I was watching news reports of Afghan Muslims attacking over what appears to be an accidental Koran burning. If Mitt Romney becomes president, do you think Muslims around the world could become similarly upset to learn that the President religion has posthumously baptized Muslims to become Mormons?

I suspect the church probably has restrictions on this. I know on my mission we could not baptize Muslims without permission. That said, I am sure some would get though, and unfortunately with some of the thinking of extremists this could result in the loss of life, just as it has over the burning of a book, if evidence got out to certain groups.

I don't think there is anything worse than burning their holy scripture. I imagine they would not be too pleased, though.

I wonder if Helen Radkey would consider the possible ramifications of going public if she had found that dead Muslim leaders have had their work done in the temple.
