As for beating their women with sticks, they have a lot in common with a lot of 'good Christians'. I don't remember a story in the headlines about a Mormon killing his pregnant wife or ex-wife for that matter. Christians, Jews etc have no exclusive rights and priviledges to treating a woman's life as valuable. “I heard that mormons are more like muslims than christians, that is they have polygamy and like to beat their women with sticks.”
