TRUE

Explanation:

The Book of Mormon mimics the language and style of King James' Bible, because it was the biblical style with which Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet and translator of the Book of Mormon was familiar. There is a debate of critics who consider everything so similar that they accuse Smith of plagiarism.

The Koran, the holy book of Muslims, is translated into many languages and is a much broader religion than Mormonism. There are different groups and different interpretative strands of the Koran. Some are more flexible, but others are more conservative. There are even some radical groups that interpret the Quran in a rude way that allows them to carry out activities such as terrorism.
