In all of the Colonel's writings, when writing about Islam (or whatever 'it' is connected to, he always spelled whatever 'it' is as 'Moslem.' With that in mind, I decided to pose the question to Colonel Mustang: "Colonel, I've been meaning to ask you why do you use 'Moslem' as opposed to 'Muslim?'"
Then, rather than admit my stupidity to the Colonel (of which he is VERY MUCH aware,) I thought that I'd look it up and see if I could find the reason. What I discovered was velly in-ter-resting (note that I used 'velly in-ter-resting' in a sort of German dialect because I don't know how to do it in Moslem/Muslim/Islam/Whatever-The-Hell.)
You can find more than you ever wanted to know here. The following is my 'Git 'er done' version:
When Baby Boomers were children it was Moslem. The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) noted, "Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage. Muslim is preferred by scholars and by English-speaking adherents of Islam." No more. Now, almost everybody uses Muslim.

Lest we forget...
...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' ...
Journalists switched to Muslim from Moslem in recent years under pressure from Islamic groups. ...

So, here's the deal, Colonel... let me go on thinking that you use 'Moslem' just to piss the shit outta the ragheads and not because you're a Baby Boomer or a PC'er!

From now on, the sonsabitches will be known as MOSLEMS to me!

Damn! I wish you could have gotten a picture of THAT, JB!
ReplyDeleteThe 'Coexist' bumper sticker is one of those that the Obamites would look good wearing across their sloping foreheads.
I guess getting them all over to the Middle East is better than nothing. I was really hoping that by now things would be working faster on the Mars expedition thing.
It's pronounced "Mooselimb" ... so I spell it Mooselimb!
ReplyDelete...or that, too.
DeleteI would simply like to say that I have studied this question for a very long time, even long before the horrific events of 11 September 2001 … and in all my reading, I have found nothing about Islam that would recommend it to a normal person. But in order to avoid confusion, let me reiterate what I said. There is nothing virtuous about Islam. Anyone who becomes a Moslem is a sick fucker who ought to be put out of their misery at the earliest practicable date. Anyone interested in knowing how the expression “sick fucker” is defined need only read the Koran. It’s all in there.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I may begin calling them “Mohammedans” … as in my view, Islam is not a religion, it is a cult following its perverted inventor, Mohammed the child molester. And besides, if the word “Mohammedan” is good enough for my distant cousin Winston Churchill, it’s good enough for me.
And if it's good enough for Colonel Mustang, it's by damn good enough for me!
DeleteBTW, I thought about using your Chesty Puller quote about what paybacks are, then decided against it. A medevac infers that there are wounded. In my Marine Corps mind, what we have here, there would be no wounded... only the slaughtered; thus, no need for a medevac.
I've heard that the term "Mohammedan" really pisses them off.
DeleteThen, MOHAMMEDAN it is!
DeleteHere's another curious thing I just thought of -- the name or word 'Mohammad.'
ReplyDeleteIf this cult is so scared shitless of pork or any association with with a pig, how come this murdering, adulterer, pedophile that they worship has the handle of 'Mohammad?' Think about it. 'Mohammad' has HAM in it, right? So, how do they get around that? Maybe they never thought about THAT, huh?! Not the brightest bulbs on the string, anyway.
I wonder if MoHAMmad, has a nickname?
Appropriately enough, 'Hambone?'
Now I have to change the name in my labels column to 'Moslem.' Or, better yet, I could keep part of one name and use another part of the other and add an 'e' to the end of it, making it truly what it is... 'Mo-slime.'
Sick fuckers.
Under our very austere economic conditions, and with a patriotic spirit and intent, I sent a letter to the White House suggested that we could save a lot of money by reducing the number of high explosive munitions, and use instead, Pig Shit bombs.
DeleteDo you think anyone at the White House appreciated my cost-saving recommendations? Hell, no!
like your takes--
ReplyDeletemy thanks the Mustang for having your site on his roll...
Carol-CS
Thanks for stopping by, Carol.
DeleteMustang's a great guy... as long as you don't have to be in his command.
JUST KIDDING, COLONEL!
Yes, AA, in the 'Marine4Ever Unabridged Dictionary-Thesaurus of Words and Quotes for the Real World,' that would be the preferred spelling and/or synonym. Very astute on your part, AA. That will get you an A+.
ReplyDeleteI hate to think of what Mr. Obimbo will think when he reads this post and the attending comments. He may have a melt down and begin blaming stuff on everyone else.
ReplyDeleteOh, heck .. he already does that.
"He may have a melt down..."
DeleteIf only, Sam. If only.
I see that the gentlemen here are telling readers how they really feel. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteIf sons of Allah want to be called Muslims, we should call them by another name. They're born pissed off, so we might as well piss them off some more.
And, now, the DHS will be looking for each one of us in this thread.
ReplyDeleteBig deal.
They can do Mr. AOW's caregiving if they haul me off to jail.
Oh, I guess that I should have typed in "BFD." What was I thinking?
ReplyDeleteThey've had my fingerprints a loooong time. Come on.
DeleteI read this somewhere before -- "BFD"
Thank you for the 'Atta boy,' Z. I can't write for nothin' so I have to draw pictures of what I'm talkin' about.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to your post or AOW's in awhile 'cause I had a flat tire... my dog ate the URL... I've been sick... my goldfish had babies? Okay... so it was none of those excuses. I've been busy drawing pictures for this post and trying to get the graphics ready for the next one. It's gonna be REALLY sick!
AOW... I don't know about that "barbarians turn on everyone but themselves" thought. My next post will show what they do to their wives and it's not too pretty.
After thinking about the above statement, AOW, since the sick perverts don't consider women anything but property -- to do what they will with them -- women wouldn't be considered as 'themselves ' in their filthy cult. I stand corrected.
FYI...I have a troll plaguing my site.
ReplyDeleteI've barely been visiting my own site -- but not because of the troll. It's the end of the school term, and I'm swamped!
WHAaaat?! Sam, Mustang, JB (and the list goes on) haven't taken care of this?! I'll be there as soon as I can get my rat killing done! AIN'T NOBODY WHAT JACKS WITH AOW!
ReplyDeleteThe troll hasn't been back for several hours -- never mind the name you might see. The troll is posting with identities other than his own.
ReplyDelete"I've been busy drawing pictures for this post and trying to get the graphics ready for the next one. It's gonna be REALLY sick!"
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!
But first, I have to get the one done for Memorial Day. In the meantime you could always go back to trolling AOW's.
DeleteProbably it's JB.
ReplyDeleteOh... JB! Didn't see you standing there.
That's good enough for me, Sam!
ReplyDeleteAnd, HEY!, thanks for some more names to call Bathhouse Barry!
Thank you for your service. :)
ReplyDelete... and thank you for dropping by, WHT.
DeleteI just checked out your Website and... OUTSTANDING!
Wait 'til you see the next one coming up, DB -- this one was just for 'starters!' JB's been chomping at the bit waiting for me to get the next post up. It's become more involved as the days pass (I think I originally started on it a couple of months ago.) It'll be the next one up... PROMISE! You think you hate 'em now?!
