Similarities between Joseph Smith and Muhammad:

   1. The followers of Muhammad and Joseph Smith both killed innocent
"infidel" on the same date of 9/11. On September 11, 1857, Mormon
militia massacred about 140 men, women and children under the
authority of Brigham Young. However 17 very young children were spared
and adopted into Mormon families. They were in fact sold to the
highest Mormon family bidder and resold and traded many times
afterwords. This event is called "The Mountain Meadows" massacre.
Mormon leaders engaged in a deliberate rewriting of history to deny
they were behind the murders. On September 11, 2001 Muhammad's
followers, using the Koran as a guide, sent two airplanes into the
World Trade Center killing 3000 innocent men, women and children.
Muslims today have a PhD in rewriting history and preach in the
mosques that Jews were actually driving the planes, not Muslim
terrorists.
   2. Both were visited by an angel. Joseph Smith was visited by the
angel "Moroni" and Muhammad by Gabriel. Galatians 1:6-9 says, "I am
amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the
grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not
another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to
distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even though we, or an angel from
heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have
preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so I
say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to
that which you received, let him be accursed."
   3. Both were given visions.
   4. Both were told that no true religion existed on the earth. In
the published account of his life, Joseph Smith related that he became
very disturbed when he was a youth because of the "strife among the
different denominations," and this "cry and tumult" led him to ask God
"which of all the sects were right — and which I should join." He was
told that he must "join none of them, for they were all wrong... that
all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those
professors were all corrupt..." (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith
2:8-19) N. J. Dawood says that Mohammed was also concerned with the
fact that the Jews and Christians had "divided themselves into
schismatic sects." In the scriptures given by Mohammed, we read: "Yet
the Sects are divided concerning Jesus.... Truly, the unbelievers are
in the grossest error." (The Koran, translated by N. J. Dawood, Surah
19, p. 34) In Surah 30, page 190, this warning appears: "Do not split
up your religion into sects, each exulting in its own beliefs." In
Surah 3, page 398, we read: "The only true faith in Allah's sight is
Islam. Those to whom the Scriptures [i.e., Jews and Christians] were
given disagreed among themselves through jealousy only after knowledge
had been given them."
   5. Both were to restore the long lost faith as the one true
religion. Islam makes claim that Adam and Abraham were Muslims, a
claim that is as ridiculous as it is undocumented from either history
or archaeology. Mormons make the unsubstantiated claim that the church
in the first century were Mormon.
   6. Both wrote a book inspired by God.
   7. Both claimed to be illiterate or uneducated and used this as
proof the book was inspired. "How could an illiterate man write the
Koran or the Book of Mormon?" Joseph Smith is claimed to have only
grade three education.
   8. Both claimed the Bible was lost, altered, corrupted and
unreliable.
   9. Both claimed their holy book was the most correct and perfect
book on earth.
  10. Both claimed that their new "Bible" was based upon a record
stored in heaven. With Islam, it is the "mother book" that resides in
heaven with God. With Mormonism, it is the golden Nephi plates that
the angel Moroni took back to heaven.
  11. Both claim that the version we have in our hands today are
identical to what the prophet revealed and that parts are not lost,
altered and corrupted. Of course the proof that these claims are
invalid is found in two books. The Mormon claim is proven false by a
book called "3913 Changes to Book of Mormon" by Sandra Tanner. The
Islamic claim is proven false by a book (In Arabic language) called,
"Making Easy the Readings of What Has Been Sent Down" by Muhammad Fahd
Khaaruun. Both books show that the copy of the book of Mormon and the
Koran used today is different from what was originally used when each
religion was started.
  12. Both claimed to be a final prophet of God.
  13. Both claimed they were persecuted because of their pure faith.
  14. Both were polygamists who had many wives.
  15. Both borrowed from paganism/polytheism. Muhammad incorporated
that polytheistic moon god called "Allah" and "Allah's three
daughters" into Islam. Basically Muhammad chose Allah from within 350
known gods that were worshipped in Arabia and proclaimed the moon god
to be the greatest and only God. Smith borrowed from a doctrine called
"pyramidology" and the Masons and other magic systems.
  16. Both received "after the fact corrective revelations" from God.
Muhammad retracted the Satanic verses and Mormons retracted Smith's
divine order mandating polygamy. But for Mormons it there is even a
closer parallel. Sounds exactly like Muhammad and his satanic verses.

          "As many false reports have been circulated respecting the
following work, and also many unlawful measures taken by evil
designing persons to destroy me, and also the work, I would inform you
that I translated by the gift and power of God, and caused to be
written, one hundred and sixteen pages, the which I took from the Book
of Lehi... which said account, some person or persons have stolen and
kept from me, notwithstanding my utmost exertions to recover it again
— and being commanded of the Lord that I should not translate the same
over again, for Satan had put it into their hearts to tempt the Lord
their God, by altering the words, that they did read contrary from
that which I translated and caused to be written; and if I should
bring forth the same words again, or, in other words, if I should
translate the same over, they would publish that which they had
stolen, and Satan would stir up the hearts of this generation, that
they might not receive this work: but behold, the Lord said unto me, I
will not suffer that Satan shall accomplish his evil design in this
thing: therefore thou shalt translate from the plates of Nephi, until
ye come to that which ye have translated... I will shew unto them that
my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the Devil." (Book of Mormon,
1830 edition, Preface)

  17. Immediately after the death of Muhammad and Smith, a fight broke
out from among the "faithful converts" as to who would succeed
Muhammad and Smith. Both groups were plunged into irreparable division
that has endured ever since. Islam and Mormonism both have squabbles
among themselves as to who is the one true splinter group of their
prophet!
  18. Mormons, contrary to the Bible, "baptize the dead" by gathering
genealogies of all men who lived on earth. This contradicts the Bible:
"But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and
disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless." Tit
3:9 While the Bible says avoid focusing in Genealogies, the Mormon
church makes it their central focus of mission. Mormons have even been
criticized for baptizing, by proxy, the Jews had died in Nazi
Holocaust camps. When lists of genealogies are collected, living
Mormons are baptized, on behalf of, those on the lists, who have
already died. In this way, Mormons view every man who lived, as being
Mormons. In the same way Muslims claim that all men are born Muslims
and when they learn the truth of Christianity, they are apostatizing
from their first faith. Muslims re-write history by proclaiming Jesus
and the Apostles were Muslims in a similar way Mormons baptize Jews
(for example) with the expectation they will be Mormons in the next
life. Yet gathering of large genealogical lists no more makes dead
people Mormons in the next life, than re-writing history makes Jesus
into a Muslim.
  19. Both the Islam and Mormon religions have those who follow the
"original doctrine" of the founding leaders and like these founding
leaders, are violent, polygamists, and have revelations justifying
their evil actions.
  20. Both Muslims and Mormons (and Jehovah's Witnesses) have
progressive revelation. Jw’s call it "new light". Muslims call it
"Nasikh". Jehovah’s Witnesses were once instructed to celebrated
Christmas, birthdays and salute the flag, but "new light" changed all
that. Mormons like all Muslims, were originally polygamists until "The
Manifesto" against polygamy came as a revelation to John Taylor, over
40 years after Smith's death, on the eve of the US government
outlawing the practice of polygamy. New revelation always replaces
older revelation that became inconvenient to the prophet.
