isgkc.org The spellings of 'Moslem", "Kaaba" (for Kaba) have a true beginning in ignorance, but they never seem to point any way to salvation. The spelling "Koran" is often used by nonMuslims and westerntrained Muslims, the same people as use the spelling "Moslems", as the late Professor Hitti did in his book Islam in his incredible quotation: "An old fashioned Moslem (sic) goes through the legal ablutions before he open the book" (pp. 2627) ! What sort of Muslim did he get his information from? When this is pronounced with a voiced "s", it gives us 'Mozlum" which means the exact opposite of a man of peace, for dhulm or zulm is 'harm', 'evil' etc. A "Moslem" thus means a 'cruel' individual like an Oriental tyrant. On another web site "zulm" is listed as a Hindi word meaning tyranny or oppression. This seems to indicate a plausible derivation when one considers the strife between India and Pakistan. If someone had the time they could trace the usage so as to correlate it with the correct time frame and so on. But i don't. However, I have seen enough to consider that Muslim is a kinder usage.
