I understand why they're upset.

I mean all those victims, look at what was raped from them: their citizenship, their families, their finances,and finally their lives. Now they're (arguably) raped of their post-mortem dignity as well.

Surely such deep feelings of persecution and violation by a people can't just be lightly dismissed?

(Doesn't help that the LDS publicly agreed to stop the practice, unless the would-be baptized have Mormon ancestors, and allegedly they're still doing it. I stress allegedly.)
