Yeah, there's some aspect of "they're different so they're bad" in LDS history (not without reason, the church did and justified many fucked up things), but the modern polygamous Mormon splinter groups are kinda overlooked for the most part. They're pretty embedded in a lot of smaller towns and cities across southern Utah and northern Arizona (there may be more, it's been a while since I've looked at the topic), and they get very little national attention.
Contrast that with stuff like this tweet that just so happens to play to a lot conservative notions about how "backwards" Islam is.
