Mormonism and Islam. Peas of the same pod? [View All]

It seems to me, at least on the surface, that Joseph Smith and Muhammad had something in common. Both came forth with their teachings from hidden locations, claiming divine intervention. Smith from under his cloak with his secret golden tablets and Muhammad from out of his cave after discussions with an angel. Both brought forth teachings which aggrandized and/or enriched their author.

It's a real simple minded thought, I know. Let me have your more enlightened ones please.
