According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies,"Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word." But the seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different. 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. - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/524#sthash.pmB7zHHX.dpuf

Or maybe I add the more derogatory Moslem and keep crypto-Muslim.

If that is what the Center for Non-proliferation Studies is putting out about the spelling difference of Moslem, then they are idiots. The Arabic spelling for the word “Moslem” uses a hard “S” not a “Z”

When I was a child in New Zealand it was spelt moslem (pronounced mozlems)and I was taught at church that they hated me and wanted to kill me because I was a Christian...
Then as an adult I came to America to find that few people here knew about the moslems hatred of Christians...
