The Book of Mormon on This Day in History

This Day in History: The Book of Mormon was published on this day in 1830. Many since the 1800's have pointed out that the Mormons and Islam have many similarities. For instance, both have their own extra-Biblical religious books (Book of Mormon and the Koran). Both have a history of polygamy. The founding prophet of both faiths have been visited by an angel. When the founding prophet died, both religions had schisms. Both are active in proselytizing nonbelievers, both believe that the text of the Bible has been corrupted, both revere their founding prophet, both place strong emphasis on chastity and modesty in dress, both prohibit alcohol, gambling, and homosexuality, both reject the Trinity in their own way and both Muhammad and Joseph Smith were persecuted by hostile locals and later forced to relocate.
