"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"

[November 2010]

Oooh. Moslem it is.

[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?

[windsorknot]

Mo(hammed) Fo(llower)’s

[arthurus]

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.

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.

[Retired Greyhound]

I vote for mooselimb.

Mo-ham-head is their prophet.

[blam]

I'll use Mozlem for these pig-faced, low-life, scum-bag SOB's from now on.

[La Lydia]

I say, that is, I write, “Muzlim” and “Izlam” because they have set up websites that track what people are saying about them that search for “Muslim” and “Islam.” I suppose so when they take over, they will know who to round up and behead.

[Swede Girl]

From now on, I will pronounce it as MOZLEM! I will call it as I see it.

Because "Satanic Pedophile Sand Monkey" is too long.

[The_Reader_David]

Personally, I favor calling the “Mohammedans”.

[little jeremiah]

They used to be called “Mohammedans”, I like that better. Even more accurate is “murdering butchers”.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks paterfamilias.

Journalists switched to Muslim from Moslem in recent years under pressure from Islamic groups.

[Joan Kerrey]

I’ve seen Osama spelled Usama
Mohammad spelled Muhammed and a few other ways.

Whatever works is fine with me. Maybe someone could give us some generally accepted rules.

[rabidralph]

Ditto!

Could someone hit the NASCAR ping list and get everyone over to this thread?
