I'm reading a book about a murder case in Utah in the Mormon 
community. Interwoven is a history of the religion, the origins of 
their belief in polygamy, and the persecution they faced almost from 
the beginning. The weird part is that the Fundamentalist Saints are 
nearly as fanatic as the Fundamentalist Muslims, waging 'holy wars' 
against the Gentiles, committing welfare fraud because they see it as 
'stealing' from the 'enemy', and in some settlements even today, 
being a law/state unto themselves, flaunting any of the state and 
local jurisdictions.

The book is called 'Under the Banner of Heaven', by Jon Krakauer.
