If for no other reason than the fact that they're worshipping a completely idiotic religion and enforcing laws based on their warped views of what God wants?
"

How is that any different from any other religion?

Mormonism (aka LDS) was started by a man claiming he had found and translated some golden tablets, but the tablets were then destroyed so no one else saw them.

Judaism was started (sort of) by Moses, who claimed he had been given two stone tablets by God with God's laws on them. But Moses then smashed them, so no one saw God's writing.

Christianity was started by a man who claimed to be the son of God (or possibly by people who claimed Jesus was the son of God after his death).

Islam was started when Mohammed claimed the angel Gabriel had given him the word of God.

See a pattern here?
