MormonTimes.com: Reader asks: What's wrong with calling the FLDS "Mormon"?

The increasingly protracted battle between the FLDS community and the state of Texas has prompted a number of discussions about the Texas polygamous group and the Mormons.

A MormonTimes.com reader identifying himself as Tom Jones sent a question to the site's "Mormon Q&A section," where answers and discussion on topics of interest are addressed by the Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR).

Jones' question reads: "Since the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has much more in common with the mainline LDS Church than the LDS Church has in common with mainline Christianity, why is it OK for the LDS to call themselves "Christian" and not OK for the FLDS to call themselves "Mormon"?
