Why Do People Say Muslim Now Instead of Moslem?

I'll use Mozlem for these pig-faced, low-life, scum-bag SOB's from now on.

[La Lydia]

I say, that is, I write, “Muzlim” and “Izlam” because they have set up websites that track what people are saying about them that search for “Muslim” and “Islam.” I suppose so when they take over, they will know who to round up and behead.

[Swede Girl]

From now on, I will pronounce it as MOZLEM! I will call it as I see it.

[cameraeye]

Sorry, that is what we called them in the back in the 80’s in Reagan’s Navy!

[Williams]

stupid remarks, is that the best we can do.

We fight with countless Moslem allies around the world, making all moslems the enemy is absolutely idiotic.

Just my opinion.

[cameraeye]

Not this head without at least five of their b@lls in my hands!

[secret garden]

We do understand you. That’s the scary part, ROR!

[moehoward]

"I simply refer to them as “murderous back stabbing stone age baby raping savages” and everyone knows to whom I’m referring."

But you do tip your hand slightly.

[The Comedian]

Because "Satanic Pedophile Sand Monkey" is too long.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Political Junkie Too]

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

Yes. Whatever will offend the sonzabitches the most.

Well in Chile and Puerto it is a Spanish pronunciation. So those of us who speak some Spanish are likely to say it that way.

[celtic gal]

I just say Muzzies and let it go at that.

good, just watch your back at all times......actually I thought that muslim came about when the black idiots in this country decided to accept that “religion” Weren’t they referred to as the black muslims?? it was far more a group of malcontents that a religious movement because most of them weren’t intelligent enough to formulate a complete sentence muchless follow a religious teaching.

Peking became Beijing in 1979, when a new system of transliteration from Mandarin to English was devised.

The name “Beijing” is supposed to be much closer to how the city’s name is pronounced in Mandarin than is Peking. The name of the city did not change, only the way it is spelled and pronounced in the western world. And this was done, I believe, at the request of the Chinese.

I can remember when “Chile” was pronounced “chili” in this country. Perhaps it’s part of a movement to pronounce names closer to the way natives do, and do away with anglicized pronunciations???

Personally, I favor calling the “Mohammedans”.

[Williams]

I personally consider it a tragedy that American blacks abandoned Jesus as their savior to join a “trendy” and IMHO, nonsensical religion.

And yes we have to watch our backs in Moslem countries because many of them are sympathizers with the radicals.

That said, we fight WITH gazillions of Moslems the World over, and the desire by many to just “hate em all” or “kill em all” is ignorant of the reality.

I mean it’s getting out of hand, yes we all feel anger because of 9/11 and a lot of other things. yes the media’s love of Moslems and direspect for Christians is glaring.

But hating them all or fighting them all is quite counterproductive, and I think we are smarter than that.

We couldn’t be in the Middle East in the way we are, without our Moslem allies. Just not possible.

And let’s not forget that one night in 1961, Stalingrad became Volgograd, with little if any explanation from Soviet leadership at the time. It was as if Uncle Joe Stain was erased from history.

And in recent times, since communism fell, Leningrad reverted to the historic name of St. Petersburg.
