Although the ruling tells us a great deal about this judge, it’s not going to force any Oklahoma legal body to consider Shari’a. The people need to hold every family court judge’s, every city council member’s, and every college administrator’s feet to the fire ... especially if such people happen to be Moslem.

“...especially if such people happen to be Moslem...”

I am glad to see that you used the correct word. Most people would have used the word “Muslim” which is currently the politically correct word being used today.

You, my friend, used the correct word.

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.
