Wikipedia can be one sided favoring the anti's one momment and the favoring the LDS the next moment. it changes constatnly but the sources you gave are biased as well.

" also find it interesting to see the active role that so-called Christian clergymen played in stirring up and even leading mob actions against the Mormons, both in Missouri and Illinois. I don't know if we have ever received an apology from any of the churches that played a role in such atrocities, but I am grateful that the State of Missouri took the Extermination Order off the books in 1976 (sorry folks - it's no longer legal to shoot us on sight). And I'm grateful that the State of Illinois has officially apologized to the Church for what happened there. That's right--in March 2004, a resolution was passed by the Illinois Legislature asking for "the pardon and forgiveness" of the Mormon Church for persecution that led to the expulsion of 20,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1844 from Nauvoo, and for the 1844 vigilante murder of Mormon leader Joseph Smith. Thank you, Illinois!"

The Extermination Order was made law on Oct. 27, 1838 by Missouri Governor Boggs. It was removed as law on June 25, 1976 by Governor Bond. Allowed for exterminating all Mormons by any means including murder to remove them from Missouri.
LDS & history buff - Check your history before calling names.
In every encyclopedia, it is the big books at library.
Hope that helps you.

This is what I mean by a loony question. For all I know, there may be at least a grain of truth to your premise, that it was once legal to kill members of your religion.
But surely you are in touch with reality enough to know that this is not common knowledge.
I don't call you a name. I insult your question.

Is there any Mormon, who knows what the hell he's talking about?

Thank you Miss Coombs.
There's more truth to it that I thought. I think the Wikipedia article is one sided.
Check out:
The Mormon persecution complex.
www.lds-mormon.com/tmpc.shtml
Since it says mormon.com, I imagine the author may be a member of you cult.

According the gold plates I dug up in my back yard (and translated right before they just vapoized), it was never o.k. to kill Mormons.
(Incidentally, those plates ordered you all to vote for me as world leader for life! Just thought you should know!)
