It’s Christian.

If you believe in Jesus as a positive role model in some fashion as a core of your religion, and you say you’re Christian, then you’re Christian.

It, like Jehovah Witnesses and Pentacolists and Unitarians and other branches founded in the last 100-300 years are much more distinct from the other Protestestant branches that came before. I’ve often seen them lumped together as a branch separate from Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Protestant, called Restorationist.  

But yes; they are Christian.

As Jesus said - who are we to judge? Let God decide in the end.

If you can create a definition of Christianity broad enough that Mormons could be considered Christians, then that definition would likely be broad enough for Muslims to be considered Christians. If you have to water down the definition of Christianity that much, then what does Christianity even mean?
Muslims don’t consider themselves Christian. And Jesus isn’t at the core of their religion (even if he is an end-times messiah)
