Really? It’s just a term they use. They could say Persian Christians, or Iranian Christians, or Iraqi Christians or Kenyan Christians...I don’t know it doesn’t bother me. When they are saying muslim they are not saying islamic Christians.

"Muslim" must contribute some meaning to the term or they wouldn't use it, and "Muslim" doesn't refer to a place like "Persian" or "Iranian" or "Kenyan". Muslim refers to adherents of Islam, so far as I know.

Just like "Muslim", "Mormon" isn't a place, either, but rather a term used to refer to adherents of a religion. So you wouldn't mind "Christian Mormons" or "Mormon Christians"?
