thouhgt we agreed at FR to use the term "Moslem", not "muslim."

Sorry, I didn't get the memo.

A rose by any other name? You say tomato I say TA-mat-O?

Hell bud, the muslims/moslems/whatever couldn't even decide on a name for their "god". They have 99 (Qur'an 20:8). So why should I care (or you) if they are called Muslim or Moslem?

BTW, the "Ask the Imam" site I referred to in my earlier post does not contain the word "moslem" if you do a search. Only Muslim.

Islam is the opposite of religious freedom. Which was a big reason this country was founded. Since Islam wants to overthrow the US gov't it's basic core is treason.

According to a post I read at LGFs, "Muslim" is what THEY prefer; 'moslem' is considered borderline racist, like "oriental" instead of Asian.

I hope that's true, because I've made a point of using lower-case moslem ever since. I think they hate 'mohammedan' or 'musselman' even worse, though, so those might be even better terms to use.
