When did “Moslems” become “Muslims”?? Years ago people spoke of Moslems, not Muslims.

I would love to know an example of Muslims who helped build the fabric of our country. There were very few Muslims in this country prior to the liberalized immigration law passed in 1965.

I prefer Mohammedans.

Those Muslins make a very thin weave for a county to hang on to.
