re: #64 DaddyG
Now that was a wise and well reasoned comment. I also agree with your attitude.
I will also add this. As the newcomers adjust to society in the west they also compromise on those parts of their doctrine that are incompatible to their new home. An example would be how Mormons had a revelation about polygamy around the time of Utah statehood. So not all of this suspicion is simply unwarranted bigotry.
