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.
“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.
I just say Muzzies and let it go at that.
