""Mormonism the Islam of America"" is a book written by Bruce Kinney that explores the similarities between the beliefs and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and Islam. The book delves into the history and teachings of both religions, comparing their doctrines, rituals, and cultural practices.The author argues that both religions share a strong emphasis on family, community, and obedience to a divine authority. He also explores the role of prophets and revelation in both religions, as well as their views on the afterlife, salvation, and the nature of God.Throughout the book, Kinney draws on his own experiences as a former Mormon missionary and his interactions with Muslim communities in the United States and abroad. He also discusses the challenges and controversies faced by both religions, including their treatment of women and minorities, their relationship with mainstream society, and their beliefs about the role of government and politics.Overall, ""Mormonism the Islam of America"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of two of the most influential religions in the United States and their impact on American culture and society.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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
