It's amazing how mormons can be called any terrible name, accused of any terrible crime, or even threatened and somehow it's never an issue with the rest of the world. But if anyone even so much as whispers the word Jew without a positive adjective conjoined, they are labeled anti-semitic. Let's not forget the "executive order" issued on October 27th, 1838 by Missouri governor Lilburn Boggs which stated that, "the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peaceï¿½their outrages are beyond all description." This order was not formally rescinded until 1976. 1976!!! Let's all try to keep things in perspective.
