It’s about the 9/11 attack. No, not that one:
The Mountain Meadows massacre was a mass slaughter of the Fancher-Baker emigrant wagon train at Mountain Meadows, Utah Territory, by a local Mormon militia and members of the Paiute Indian tribe on September 11, 1857. The incident began as an attack, quickly turned into a siege, and eventually culminated in the murder of the unarmed emigrants after their surrender. All of the party except for seventeen children under eight years old were killed—about 120 men, women, and children were killed, but precise numbers have been debated. After the massacre, the corpses of the victims were left decomposing for two years on the open plain, the surviving children were distributed to local Mormon families, and many of the victims’ possessions were auctioned off at the Latter-day Saint Cedar City tithing office.
Mormons Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck are no more responsible for the 9/11 attack in 1857 than Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (Park 51′s chief planner) is for the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Attributing to all the motives of a few is not only morally reprehensible, it’s anti-American, irrational and stupid.
The rest is here.
