Yes, by all means, let's discuss the mountain meadows massacre.

Doubtless, it was an act of terrorism, because it involved the murder of women and children. Even by secular historical accounts like the History Channel, all available evidence shows that Brigham Young told his messengers to "spare no horse's flesh" in getting his cease-and-desist order to harper and the thugs who did that. Unfortunately, it was before the the days of cell phone and there were no wires to Mountain Meadows so Young's message came too late. Mormons also executed at least some of the terrorists who murdered those people.

But if we are going to remember the "rest of the story" about MMM, let us also remember Haun's MIll, Liberty Jail, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and every other instance in which, prior to MMM, nefarious bigots murdered all of the Mormon Males from ages 10 to elderly, raped Mormon women till they could not stand and left bereft infants to freeze and die. I defy anybody to show that Mountain Meadows was anything but a local and isolated incident. The idea that the Brigham Young was involved is as fringy and unsubstantiated as the idea that Bush, love him or hate him, ordered the WTC bombings himself. It is the one thing anti-mormons can cling to, because all other evidence points to the fact that we are, in large part, a peace-loving and friendly people, who have not returned the viceral hatred leveled against us.

Now, to harp exclusively on one incident, purpotrated by a renegade Mormon Mob, after so much diaspora and genocide purpotrated by hosts of the vilest creatures who were backed by the state of Missouri, abedded by the Governor of Illinois, and unhampered by the Federal Government, is a bit like focusing soley on atrocities commited by a Zionist Jewish Conspiracy, when Jews have been threatened with destruction since Moses. Surely such rhettoric would win the author of it, titles like "Nazi, antisemite, bigot." I will do no such demagoguery, but will simply ask that anyone purporting to tell "the rest of the story," to look it up first.
