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.

I stand corrected - Moslem it is!

Then, I shall make corrections in my blog as I find them.

I did learn a lot from the article and am going to pass it around. Wonder if I should send it to my brother, the Quaker.
