There is a article over at the Huffington post about this topic. I was thinking about this the other day and thought that the LDS gospel could be called Islam-lite.

Just for discussion, well and a touch of curiosity. What in the world does Mormonism and Islam have in common? They both have some respect for the Old Testament. They both would look back to Abraham.

I find it hard to think of two groups more unalike which share those roots.

Compare prayer, kneel on a rug with forehead to the floor, sit or stand head slightly bowed.

Concept of monotheism. As far apart as groups related to Abraham can get.

Polygamy, no alcohol, the beginng starts with a vision and followers claim the person is a prophet.
