As an outsider, it seems to me that the Mormon-dominated state of Utah is coping better than most, for obvious reasons even if you don’t agree with Mormanism. Which I don’t.
Saying that, maybe Mitt Romney is not so bad as the likely Republican nominee. He, and his spiritual organisation know how to stand up and defend themselves. Were he to be President, it could translate.
There seems to be no Christian organisation that can stand up for themselves and govern. I’ll take Mormanism over Islam any day.
