      I’m gonna be real with you chief, of all the things you can accuse fundamentalist Muslims of racism isn’t really one them (the faith actually demands anti-racism… For the Faithful TM), and everything else they do Mormons can match.

      Weird hangups about drugs? Yup.

      Patriarchal polygamy? Yeppers.

      Wanting to establish a global theocracy? You know it.

      Weirdly obsessed with a desert city? Damn skippy.

      So, idk, seems like a pretty clear victor there on the checklist. Anti-racism zealotry is better than specifically racist zealotry.

      Also, just saying, a Muslim has never tried to convert me door to door.

        The faith isn’t racist. You just have to do Arab rituals, wear Arab clothing, pray in Arabic, and the only proper way to read the Qur’an is if you know Arabic. Oh and also make a pilgrimage to Arabia.

        Although I do concede that Mormonism is worse with the fabrication that the mark of cain is upon non white people, and that Islam doesn’t really call for discrimination against other races.
