Just out of curiosity, when did “Moslems” become “Muslims”? Every book I’ve read about them that was published prior to 9/11 referred to them by the traditional spelling. Is this one of those I’m-culturally-superior-to-you-because-I-use- the-current-”hip”-spelling? Or is it rather the ever changing politically correct way of referring to the aggrieved such as Negroes/Blacks/People of Color/African Americans/etc.?
I don’t know if this is true but I did read that Moslem is supposed to mean something like fool in Arabic. Who knows.
