A screen shot of the database page sent to HuffPost by Radkey shows a proxy baptism for Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was completed in a Salt Lake City Temple on March 27, 1996. The record has since been removed and Radkey said a subsequent search came up with "Unknown Name."
Odds are the Church is going to be cleaning up their database to avoid more of this type of publicity.

Man I hope Romney wins the nomination. I don't want this to end.

I imagine all historical figures on record have received an LDS baptism. Doing these baptisms are part of the Church's mission objectives. Is any poster here opposed to redeeming Ghengis Khan?

Old Ghengis might be. He was fond of Buddhists (don't know about Mormons). I think he posts here under the name of moksha... oh, wait.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Soon the new Sunday assignment for Mormon Teachers and Priest will be to go to villages around the World with a wheel barrow singing out "Bring out your Dead, Bring out your Dead, for Proxy Baptism", once there are no social group wanting this Foul and Offensive act performed on their honored dead.

Maybe it will replace Fast Offerings assignments.

I'm waiting for the sh!t to hit the fan when it is published far and wide that Muhammad (peace be upon him) has been dead dunked.

Damn Mormons can't keep their noses out of anything.

Here's a money making idea for you Mormons. When tithing money is down, have non-Mormons pay you to not dead dunk their ancestors.

Something tells me the Muslims will be a tad less understanding than the Jews.

This question was recently asked by the Catholics:

Is Mahatma GAndhi going to heaven? He was Hindu. What is Catholic teaching on this?

Luckily for Mormons, they don't have to ask that anymore.

I'll save the mainstream media some time. Anybody who is famous has been proxy baptized. No need to investigate. The 9/11 hijackers have even been baptized. In fact, it would be a bigger story if you found someone famous/infamous who hasn't been dead dunked yet.
