I usually use "muzzie" - no caps just like when I spell out "allah"

Proper nouns are capitalized. It has nothing to do with respect. It is how English, our great language, is written.

IMO, not capitalizing these words shows disrespect as in (under your definition Drew) not accepting muzzie or allah as being part of English proper. Intentionally ignoring.

Thanks - just got explaining the same concept to Drew before I noticed your proper explanation.
