Muhammad and Joseph Smith

Saint Michael. 

You are right...there were more than 2...there were more.  24 is the officially recognized number of sealings.  33 is generally accepted but not provable and 48 is the largest number.  However, there is a big difference between sealing and marriage.  Here's an excerpt from answers.com

Answers.com wrote: Sealing vs Marriage There is a subtle difference between 'sealing' (which is a priesthood ordinance that binds individuals together in the eternities), and 'marriage' (a social tradition in which the man and woman agree to be husband and wife in this life). In those early days of this religion, common practices and doctrines were not yet well-defined. It is speculated that many, if not all, of the arrangements between Smith and these women were more in alignment with the concept of sealings, not marriages, in the sense that Smith did not join with any of these women, except for Emma, in a family unit. Even among those who accept the views of conventional historians, there is disagreement as to the precise number of wives Smith had: Fawn Brodie lists 48, D. Michael Quinn 46, and George D. Smith 43. A number of Joseph's marriages occurred after his death, with the wife being sealed to Joseph via a proxy that stood in for him. The LDS Church's genealogical website lists 24 marriages for Smith, four of which are indicated to have taken place after his death. One historian, Todd M. Compton, documented at least thirty-three plural marriages or sealings during Smith's lifetime. Many people think it is without question that Joseph had multiple wives; but, as Compton states multiple times in his work, "Absolutely nothing is known of this marriage after the ceremony"�that is, it is unclear how many of the women Smith had sexual relations with. There are allegations that Smith had at least one child born to a plural wife, but this remains unproven.

So to say that Joseph Smith  ONLY was sealed to other women AFTER his death is patently false.

I actually stated the official geneological record states that FOUR of the TWENTY FOUR recognized wives were postumous.  There are many lies that you can find in older anti-mormon sources that inflat the number of wives that he had taken.  Needless to say...Polygamy is an accepted concept even if its no longer practiced.  Therefore, I don't really care of Joseph had 700 wives.  I really doesn't change my opinion of the man or my testimony of the Book of Mormon. 

If God ordered Prophet Hinckley to reinstate Polygamy tomorrow, I would be one of the first women to welcome its return.

I'm sorry I did not realize that asking "What are the differences" between Muhammad (Islam) and Smith (Mormonism) was that complex of a question.

I guess that my point is that as a casual reader of the Qur'an (and its history) and the Book of Mormon (and its history) I really don't see any significant differences.

Without any significant differences, then I must question whether both or either books/religions are of God or of man

"A complex question was in reference to a question you gave that had at its bases an assumption that was neither proven or argued."

What assumption was that?

"Without any significant differences, then I must question whether both or either books/religions are of God or of man"

"If you could not find any significant differences, then I might suggest more than a cursory read. I have read the book of Mormon, and there are significant differences.

If this is your opinion and you feel what you think is true, then you are free to think this."

I was hoping you would mention even ONE significant difference between the two prophets and their religions/books.  When I request ONE significant difference, I mean something more significant then their height, nationality, etc.

I would appreciate your knowledge in this matter instead of vague replies,
