By your logic, since Christian sounds like assassin, Christian is a pejorative.

That is a ridiculous comment. E asked the thread about the difference between "Muslim" and "Moslem". I linked a web site and gave the words of the world renowned Arabic American scholar, T. B. Irving. All we were doing is looking for the rationale behind a particular word. I am sorry you don't like the answer. If you believe that your education qualifies you to give a more logical answer than the answer given by Professor Irving, then do so. I really don't appreciate being insulted for linking a paragraph fron an authoritative source in an attempt to be helpful.

If you, yourself, are a master of arabic languages, then you might want to contact HIM, and tell HIM to stop blowing smoke--and to cut the crap. I am sure he will be suitably impressed by your keen analysis, as was I.

I thank you for such a helpful response to E's question. I am sure the world thanks you.
