Towelhead works for me.

They are not towels, they are sheets.

I don’t remember Moslem vs. Muslim, but I remember being very confused about Muslim and muslin (sp), which is a type of fabric. My mother sewed and this was one of many things I found confusing about all that. Just thought I’d throw that in to the conversation -

[November 2010]

Oooh. Moslem it is.

[P.O.E.]

Thanks. I had forgotten about that one. Goes in the category of Burma-to-Myanmar. My bad.

i think you mean correlle and most people cannot follow your demented logic and undoubtedly have NO idea what you are talking about robt! this was a stretch even for you! ; )

[humblegunner]

I’m a tard.

I'd hit a tard.

“All this blanket hatred of Moslems is absurd, btw, imho.”

Correct. Even as Islam forces us to extirpate it, said extirpation should be done without hate. Hate causes your pulse and breathing rate to increase, and thus may make you miss.

[Dan(9698)]

“raghead” still works for me.

They are not rags, they are sheets.

[ThomasThomas]

They both sound the same when I “say” them.

[OB1kNOb]

So to add extra sarcasm when referring to them, should I refer to them as muzzies or mozzies?

(Robt ponders diploma (er, delima. Er, problem.) Is xsex pleased that she was able to follow Robt's supposedly twisted illogic, or is xsex concerned that she was able to follow Robt's supposedly twisted logic?)

[xsmommy]

both!

Actually it is a transliteration and has different vowel sounds in different languages and dialects. No transliteration of an Arabic word is authoritative. The name spelled HSN can be Hassan (Turkish) or Hosni(Egyptian) or Hussein(Arabian), etc., and those are variable with the regional dialects in each area.

Moslems
Mohammedans
Mahometans
Mussulmans

So....

They are sheet-heads?

Works for me.

[SERKIT]

Just like there is little difference between Osama and Obama.....on many levels.

[ArrogantBustard]

Dunno ...

I say “Deranged follower of Mad Mo, the murdering pedophile”.

But I’m not a very nice person.

I vote for mooselimb.

Mo-ham-head is their prophet.
