Snackeater said...: Done and done. While we're on the subject, I don't know about you but when I was a kid, adherents to Islam were called moslems. Then suddenly it was muslim. I thought it was just the new PC. But I did a search on "moslem vs muslim" and found some very interesting facts. Without going into detail, suffice to say from now on, it's "moslem" for me.; 8/14/10, 10:57 AM
An ignorant dickweed said...: You got my curiosity.

Is it Muslim or Moslem?

When Baby Boomers were children it was Moslem. The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) noted, "Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage. Muslim is preferred by scholars and by English-speaking adherents of Islam." No more. Now, almost everybody uses Muslim.

According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, "Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word." But the seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different. A Muslim in Arabic means "one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means "one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

The founder of that fine organization is from the fair city of Charleston, as evidenced by two proud swine (in lieu of lions) displayed on either side of the steps leading up to the southern mansion overlooking Charleston harbor, where, may I remind you, we southerners have made our displeasure known before. I may not be the only one here who feels a rustling in my loins to fire on a federal fort soon. Down heah, we have appropriate acomodations for our muslim visitors, at the Navy brig.

Young lad - when I was a mere youth, they were called Mahometans:

Montesquieu
"3. That a moderate Government is most agreeable to the Christian Religion, and a despotic Government to the Mahometan.

4. Consequences from the Character of the Christian Religion, and that of the Mahometan. From the characters of the Christian and Mahometan religions, we ought, without any further examination, to embrace the one and reject the other: for it is much easier to prove that religion ought to humanise the manners of men than that any particular religion is true.

It is a misfortune to human nature when religion is given by a conqueror. The Mahometan religion, which speaks only by the sword, acts still upon men with that destructive spirit with which it was founded."
