Interesting you should pick the example of the Mormons, a religious organization whose founder was killed by an angry mob of seceders from his church...

Anyone that would suggest that the propensity of Islamic fundamentalists towards violence is particularly unusual amongst religious adherents has a remarkably inadequate grasp of history.

Even if historically all religions have had their share of atrocities, the point is that Islam today is like the rest of the world has been in the Middle Ages. Hopefully they'll get there in a few centuries, at least if they haven't conquered (explicitly through wars or implicitly through immigration) the West by then.

He was killed by a mob, but not by a mob of seceders from his church.

(Incidentally, he had a pistol and killed a few of the mob members before going down.)
