I just am surprised in this day of easy google searches that this kind of misinformation can get published in a newspaper. Oh, I know.

I've even met a few. Then there are the well meaning but hopelessly confused parents who somehow have the warped view that all non-Mormons might not share our values and therefore don't. But overall, I just suspect the majority are pretty decent people. I can agree with complaining about the bad apples. But portraying us as a hotbed of anti-semetism? One would think that Jews do better here than most other places. All the proselytizing might be dang annoying, but anti-semetism? Within Mormonism isn't that kind of like hating oneself? I could see anti-Evangelicalism, anti-Wiccanism, or anti-atheism. Just not anti-semetism. (I'm sure someone will soon tune in with an example) It’s weird because I know there are j-a-es out there who treat non-Mormons badly. I’ve even met a few.
