When the Mormons moved into western Missouri in 1831, and began "appropriating" the lands that rightfully belonged to those who had settled Missouri before they arrived, Joseph Smith infamously stated, "…the riches of the Gentiles have been consecrated unto my people who are of the House of Israel”.

In Arizona, when Mormons are given hiring authority at companies they work for, they have an odd propensity to only hire other Mormons. Such is the situation that occured at Apollo Group in Phoenix. The founder hired a President who was Mormon, the Mormon President only hired other managers who were Mormon (or those loyal to them), and they in turn only hired other Mormons (or those loyal to them). Consequently, Mormons eventually dominated Apollo's management structure to such an extent that they began discriminating against anyone who wasn't Mormon, and the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) had no choice but to file their lawsuit.

You would think that a "religion", which claims to have undergone such terrible persecution as they claim to have endured, would never discriminate themselves, right? Perhaps, there is more going on here than meets the eye.
