The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has no official doctrines or views about Christopher Columbus.
Many individual Mormons believe that Christopher Columbus was the fulfillment of a prophesy found in the Book of Mormon, which says:
"And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the promised land" (1 Nephi 13:12)

How did the mormon battalion help the mormons?
The "Mormon Battalion" was not under direction of the LDS church. The battalion was a group of LDS men who had been conscripted into service by the US military to fight in the Mexican-American war. They did not serve the church or other church-members in any direct way. They were marched south to the war, but got there too late. They were reunited with their families a few years later without ever firing a shot. Along the way they helped the US army establish important settlements (e.g. San Diego, CA).
Are there Mormons in the Middle East?
Yes, there are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) throughout the Middle East. Many of these congregations do not share their location either to obey local laws or to avoid being a target for violence and persecution. Most meet in homes or rented buildings but the church does have its own buildings in some areas where the government has approved, especially in areas with a large expatriate community.Photo examples:Elder Holland with a congregation in BahrainLDS Youth Conference in the Middle EastAn LDS meeting on a Middle East military baseThe LDS-built Abu Dhabi Stake Center in the United Arab Emirates
The mormons were often met with hostility because they believed that?
Many people were offended by beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; a prominent example is polygamy (a man could marry more then one woman), yet many other Christian churches were particularly upset by the Church's belief in modern revelation, as manifested through the belief in a living prophet and, by extension, latter-day scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. In certain regions, the Church was met with hostility because many Church members, in accordance with Church doctrine, believed that slavery was wrong. Hence, those in slave states feared the influx of Church members would threaten the establishment of slavery as a legal, politically-established institution. Those in Missouri specifically were hostile also because the Church believed that Independence, Missouri would one day become the center of Zion, the New Jerusalem.
