Why don't we have sikhophobia, hinduphobia or buddhismophobia?

That must be why it's the fastest growing religion and stands second in place for the world's largest religion.

It is not derogatory in any way. A few posts ago you didn't know what it means; now you seem to believe it is derogatory. Why is that?

I asked the question and this was the answer I got:
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.
Most websites are using this definition so don't call this ridiculousness.
Is it close to '******' now or will you come up with some more of your 'facts'?

Don't be so ridiculous. 'Moslem' is simply an older transliteration of an Arabic word that is now less widely-used. It's not even remotely equivalent to n****r.

Neither is 'Moslem' the only outdated term for followers of Islam in English - 'Mohammadan' and its variants have also been used historically, without any intention to offend or demean Muslims, so please do stop with this phoney outrage.

If you managed to open the link given to me you will see why.
Are you one of those people on TSR who start arguments then just wait for notifications without reading all the posts before giving a dumb verdict?
urghh

What's your deal with those verses?

What a similar word means in a different language has no bearing on how it is used in English. We are writing in English, not Arabic.

Oh for Gods sake
why don't you read previous posts which explain what was said?
Your too busy starting up rubbish and attempting to look smart by giving facts.
SCROLL UP.
yeesh

How is that relevant? In general, worldwide, Moslems simply have a higher birthrate than other people, don't have access to good education and are more likely to indoctrinate their children from a young age. None of these things tells us anything about Islam and its worth.

I seem to be having the same argument with three idio.. *cough* people.
So message to you guys, instead of me replying to the same bullsh....stuff, then just scroll up instead of waiting for a notification. okay?

This is bordering on incoherent, and you've previously replied to the quoted post. Though it's understandable that 'giving facts' is a great cause of frustration for you.

Ah, insults. Just what you needed to prove your case.

We get the definition of the word 'Muslim' because it is an ARABIC WORD.
Islam started in ARABIA.
The word MOSLEM was first established with that meaning in ARABIC.
Most people know the words meaning in that ARABIC definition as it is comes up most on Google.
So why are arguing if that is the most used definition?

I was wondering about this last night, how come islam gets so much bad rap while the other big religions are barely ever mentioned? I mean if you watch or read the news day in day out you almost never see them mentioned, never mind hear about millions hating or disliking them ?! And there are plenty of buddhists, hindus or sikhs in the UK but somehow there seems to be ZERO issues with them...

Hitchens had a theory about it :

Thanks for telling me but,
Why are you using such a derogatory term?
Is this an attempt to be funny or...?
You may not like Muslims and their way of life but that really doesn't give you permission to use terms like that.

If a black man punched you in the face one day, would you name all black people ******* from then on?
no?

Then please keep it to yourself.

Everytime you are on a thread you always do this...

Do you actually know where that quote is from specifically and what it means?

It's talking about one of the stories of the prophets as he communicates with other Muslims. Like I mean, just, lost for words how you can't spot that.
