...is pushing for an all-out war between the U.S. and evangelicals or Mormons.
We don't have large religious denominations claiming that prophecy requires a global confrontation with Mormons or evangelicals.
People aren't being beaten or killed in this country because they are Mormon or evangelical or because someone else thinks they are.
And we don't have a presidential candidate seeking to ban Mormon or evangelical immigration.
It's not about pretending Muslims are infallible saints or that the countries you list are utopias...it's about not wanting to give aid and comfort to hate campaigns.
And those countries would likely be much the same no matter which religion ruled them. The repressive features of those societies all predated Islam. Essentially, the issue is a long-standing inclination towards patriarchal sexual paranoia.
