If Joseph Smith, who mormons believe was a prophet of god hadn't have invented the polygamy revelation, noone would have practiced polygamy in the first place, and there wouldn't have been a break off of mormonism that believed in their prophet's revelation enough to continue practicing it even though it was illegal.
The FLDS has EVERYTHING to do with mormonism. The main difference is that the followers of the mormon church didn't have the balls to follow the prophet's revelation, and instead stopped practicing polygamy in order for Utah to become a state.
And no, I'm not defending the fundamentalists. I think they're both a train wreck waiting to happen.
