When/Why did Moslem become Muslim?

It's kind of like MuhamMAD. How many different ways do you see the bas#ard's name spelled?

When/Why did Moslem become Muslim?

Good question!

According to the OED, the two terms are interchangable. The first usage example they give for Muslim is from 1615. The first example for Moslem is from 1788 (from Gibbon's Decline and Fall BTW).
