Well Gus, apparently you are a Baby Boomer according to the History News Network. See excerpt:
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.”
