Technically Islam is, since it has roots in the arianism heresy
I reckon being heretical involves at least claiming to be part of the religion. You might have a better argument for LDS
Eh, Muslims claim to worship "The god of Adam, Moses, Abraham, and Jesus".
JWs claim to be Christian but not the same religion as Christians.
I think Mormons do claim to be a Christian debomination somehow. They even sing Christian hymns. Although I had a Mormon missionary reject monotheism to my face. But again, that's probably why we'd measure them as heretics here.
Well, sure, but that's not enough for them to be considered "Christian" in any useful sense of the word. We certainly wouldn't consider Christians to be Jewish by that standard and they have a much deeper foundation in Judaism than Islam has in Christianity.
Mormons cannot really be considered Christians either
they self-identify as christian though, whereas Muslims do not self-ID as Christians.
