But Christianity (for example) doesn't have a blood-free history either. Plenty of atrocities have been committed by people in the name of different religions. The Muslims nowadays stand out among all others regarding this.


The big issue is whether Brigham Young knew about it or ordered it. That is what historians seem to fight over. Not that two wrong make a right, but the Mormons were treated pretty badly in Missouri and Illinois. Read up on Hahn's Mill Massacre.

Communists: I still hate them even after they changed their name to "liberals".
