so, should we outlaw mormonism? seem like pretty nice folk to me.
find some mormon extremists and give them 15 billion dollars. see what happens.
well, first you'd need some mormon extremists to begin with!
would that be mormons that bake two pans of rice crispy squares for guests instead of one? maybe the extremists use smarties on top!

From what I've read polygamy was introduced by their prophet Joseph Smith. It was either him or the next prophet(Young) who set about evangelizing the natives and part of that work was to marry their women in order to produce offspring without this accursed colour. I remember reading a letter where Brigham Young complained that these missionaries were marrying the prettier ones them self and bringing only the uglier ones back to the main group for marriage. I've never read about any rape or doctrine of rape.
Mormon fundamentalists are in fact the polygamist groups we hear about today. At this point in time it is illegal to marry multiple wives but, that law is not being enforced.
