"A 'Muslim' in Arabic means 'one who gives himself to God,' and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a 'Moslem' in Arabic means 'one who is evil and unjust' when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z."

That does it for me. I vote for "Moslem"

That’s right, I was taugh Moselm - and now that I know the two diffferent meanings, it’s back to my school days.

Moselm it is!

By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means “one who is evil and unjust” when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

I have been using Mohammedan. It irritates them while being descriptive of the way they worship the pedophile pirate pretending to be a prophet.

I call Scientologists Hubbardites, too.

[Revolting cat!]

I vote for Eirab rabble!

[The Old Hoosier]

There is no soft “O” or “E” in Arabic.

[shotdog]

I am a card carrying pre-boomer and our history books referred to the hordes as mohammedans. When did THAT change? sd

[kaylar]

That’s why I’ve made a point (for the last few years ) of spelling it m-o-s-l-e-m, with a lower case m. Petty, perhaps, but if it bothers them, that’s good enough for me.

[Berlin_Freeper]

let's call them Molson.

[b4its2late]

Agreed, Moslem is it.

[umgud]

Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem?

I won't even capitalize muslim, moslem, islam.....

[humblegunner]

Some retards call them “Muslin”. That’s a fabric.

Other retards reference “Imans” instead of “Imams”.

There’s no telling what tards might do.

[Diogenesis]

pRes_ _ent Obama is Moslem

Anyone who pronounces “Moslem” with a “Z” can just as well pronounce “Muslim” with a “Z”.

I think it’s more an issue of how it’s written than how it is said.

It was always “Moslem” when I grew up and in historical works such as Gibbons’ Decline and Fall.

I became aware of this controversey right here when Freepers corrected me for using “Moslem”. In my mind, Moslem is a much more attractive spelling.

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

By contrast, a 'Moslem' in Arabic means

Huh? The answer is simple. Moslem is an incorrect phonetic spelling of the word مُسْلِم . There is no 'o' vowel in Arabic. The dumma, the thing that looks a comma, sounds closest to 'u' (unicorn) sound in English.

There are only 3 short vowels in Arabic. Fatha sounds like short 'a', Kasra sounds like short 'i', and Dumma.

[Cincinna]

From now on, I will be calling them Moslems. Ot Mohammedans, which is really what they are. Lawrence Eagleburger always calls them Mohammedans.. followers of Mohammed.

[rockinqsranch]

Personally I say call ‘em what you will, but I wanna hear is as past tense.

[a fool in paradise]

Go with Mozlem to be sure.

[org.whodat]

Because if you say RH, people get offended.

[ansel12]

Members of the Mohammedan Death Cult, are best called Mohammedans.

That is the word that use for my T-shirts.

[November 2010]

Because muzscum is controversial?

[ElayneJ]

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 -
