So Mohametan (I had to look it up) doesn’t make one a muslim, I assume?

I looked up Turkic too :)

I don’t know enough to grasp the West Germany/USSR comparison.

Which group in China is West Germany and which would be the USSR?

Thanks in advance.

All new and very interesting stuff to me

I use “Mahometan” (or “Mohammedan”; I prefer the alternate and perhaps archaic spelling of Mahomet) because Muslims are not fond of that term for themselves.

I’m comparing Germany’s stance towards Red China with West Germany’s stance towards the USSR back during the Cold War.
