Political Correctness of Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem? Moslem or Muslim 

Boomers knew the followers of Allah and Mohammed by their proper and just name - Moslem.  We find in the The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) noted, "Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage." Muslim is preferred by the politically correct history revisionist - those individuals who self proclaimed they were scholars and those English-speaking adherents of Islam. Because people have allowed themselves to be dumbed down and are afraid of being admonished [bullied and ridiculed] by the politically correct history revisionist the term has created by them has come into common usage.

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 [like a woman or prostitute in the Moslem culture]," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means "one who is evil and unjust" [as one would be if he follows the Quran] when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

For others, this spelling differentiation is merely a linguistic matter, with the two spellings a result of variation in transliteration methods. Both Moslem and Muslim are used as nouns. But some writers use Moslem when the word is employed as an adjective.

Journalists switched to Muslim from Moslem in recent years under pressure from Islamic groups [those Fatwahs that call for your death]. Journalist are such cowards. But the use of the word Moslem has not entirely ceased. Established institutions which used the older form of the name have been reluctant to change. The American Moslem Foundation is still the American Moslem Foundation (much as the NAACP is still the NAACP--the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The journal The Moslem World--published by the Hartford Seminary in Connecticut--is still The Moslem World.
