Open the claim as it is normally framed, use the short answer when time is tight, and move into the full case when the conversation deserves it.
Mormons Are Not Real Christians
Latter-day Saints worship Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God, risen Lord, Redeemer, and only source of salvation. Other Christians may reject LDS theology, but disagreement over later creeds does not make devotion to Christ disappear.
"Mormons Are Basically Muslims with an American Prophet"
A later prophet does not make a religion Islamic; prophets fill both Testaments. On the beliefs that define the Christian story, Latter-day Saints affirm Christ's divine Sonship, Incarnation, Atonement, Crucifixion, and bodily Resurrection, while Islam rejects them. Creedal Christianity actually overlaps with mainstream Islam on several premises it often uses against the Restoration, including final foundational revelation, creation from nothing, and divine incorporeality.
