Recently a town formed mainly by a group of fundamentalist Christians was raided by law enforcement for alleged child abuse. Almost 500 children have been removed from the Christian compound and put in to social services to determine if they were sexually abused, which in many cases girls under the age of 18 were pregnant or already mothers. In the media the church is more commonly referred to as a Mormon Church, or the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day-Saints, which is the technical term. But it seems the media doesn't want to acknowledge that this is a christian church, the fourth largest denomination of Christianity to be exact. We continually hear of fundamentalist Muslims "terrorising" the world, yet here in the US we seem to ignore this fundamentalist sect of Christians terrorising American kids. I understand that they are Mormons and they are recognized as Mormons, but how often does the media say a group of Shia, Sunni, Kharijite, Sufi Muslims participated in terrorism, never, simply Muslims. The dominate religion in the US is Christianity, no secret, and the majority of Mormons are separated from the FDLS, the majority of Muslims are separate from the fundamentalist Muslims of the world. I realize that the general public is uneducated and to ignorant to realize that it's a extreme group of Muslims, not all Muslims, it's just easier to believe all Muslims are bad. People not believe in religious tolerance are the uneducated believing that the US is founded on Christianity so it makes it a christian country. These people are morons, not Mormons, yet both Christians.
