Muslum refers to the material they make curtains from. Islamic people wear this material and call it "burka".

Thanks for letting me clear up the confusion....

[highlander_UW]

Islam is the religion, muslim is an adherent to the religion. To imply that there is a difference, the MSM has been referring to terrorists as Islamist extremists (or a variation thereof), which is to suggest that the terrorists are not typical adherents of Islam. The root is the same, the quran, the haddith and the sunnah.

Also the term "Islamist" is used to describe the extremist sects such as the Wahabbi.

Most of the suicide bombers are Islamists.

As opposed to the ordinary, run of the mill, moderate Muslims who prefer remote controlled detonators

Muslim... one who is supposed to practice the ways of the evil death cult called "islam." The former term includes many unfortunate people who the death cults claims (reportedy 1.2 billion) who are born in Islumic countries and are held captive to the evil Mohammedan cult of Islam like slaves, and threatened with loss of status, and/or death if they dare to leave. Females are forced to wear islamic slave rags to show that they are property of the cult.

Good books to read:

Ibn Warraq's "Why I am not a Mulsim" and also Warraq's "Leaving Islam"

THE AGENDA OF ISLAM - A WAR BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS

[Asphalt]

A muslim or moslem is a follower of islam. Islamic means a follower of Islam. One and the same

yes, yes, someone will give me the dictionary deffinitions to prove they aren't identical, but they are interchangeable.

"What is the difference between being a Muslum and being Islamic?"

An Islamist wants to kill you, a muslim merely wants you dead.
