I stopped reading after the unnecessary misspelling. I never ever not EVER trust someone who thinks they sound smarter because the find some esoteric misspelling of a word. Its Muslim.

And this guy had the nerve to mock the terrorists spelling. Best not to throw stones when your house is built of glass.

I don't understand your reaction to "moslem". I've seen it spelled that way before. It is an old spelling. It's from before "muslims" and after "mohammedans". This guy is from canada, correct? The brittish and even canadians have some different spellings for some words. Maybe "moslem" is one of those differences.

...because the find some esoteric...

Normally, I dismiss a typo as just that - a typo. But when it occurs in a sentence that is criticizing someone's ability to spell, well... I just find it unnecessary.
