BIBCAR REPEATEDLY WROTE: "Moslems believe that..."

You (and many other people) drive me CRAZY! I am sooooo tired of seeing the word MUSLIM frequently referred to as MOSLEM. The word is spelled M-U-S-L-I-M !!! It is pronounced Muhs-lehm, NOT Mohs-lehm!

You are not the only one and I don't mean for my comment to be a personal attack. It just makes me cringe like someone scraping fingernails across a blackboard. PLEASE correct your spelling and pronunciation. Thanks!

BIBCAR [sic] REPEATEDLY WROTE: "Moslems believe that..."

Did you mean to misspell my screenie, in a post faulting me for my spelling?

Appears to me it's more of a putt than a drive. (c;

dictionary.com says "Moslem" is "Variant of Muslim." Merriam-Webster says the same.

Why not get worked up over something more substantive... like this Moslem claiming first that all gods are the same, that everyone prays to the same God, and then claiming that Allah is different from all gods and is the only true God? Or to his disruptor-like behavior?

I know the feeling. Have you gotten used to the "variations" of "I" and "me?" Or "who" and "whom?" I am just curious.
