But... since they have “Jesus Christ” in their long name, they’re “Christians”...
Some of my ancestors were early settlers in Jackson County (about 1831) but I don't know if they had any interactions with the Mormons--probably too busy farming. A great-uncle (by marriage) went on a wagon trail to Salt Lake City in 1865. According to his memoir, written about 1925, the Mormons had very negative attitudes towards Missourians at that time ("if they had known I was from Missouri, my hide wouldn't have been worth shucks").
....But... since they have Jesus Christ in their long name, theyre Christians...

Mormonism has a lot in common with islam.
