Mosque to be Built Near Ground Zero

Is it safe to come back now?

JTT only succeeds in derailing threads and changing their entire purpose when he is allowed to do so with assistance.

I don't know any "Moslems".

According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, "Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word." But 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" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z.

For others, this spelling differentiation is merely a linguistic matter, with the two spellings a result of variation in transliteration methods. Both Moslem and Muslim are used as nouns. But some writers use Moslem when the word is employed as an adjective.

Maybe about a year or 2 ago,
I discussed the logic of grammar with JTT; (or tried to, at some length).
He repudiated logic.
Sound reasoning does not stand hi in his esteem; its a waste.
It was like debating Gracie Allen.
I gave up and have kept him on Ignore for approximately, a year, I estimate.

Hopeless.

This is David being insulting on purpose.

The difference here is the difference between having an oriental rug and an asian friend.

David has been informed of this in other threads but continues to use the term for the purposes of insult.

He likes to hide behind phonetics, but that won't cover his ass
here either being that the proper phonetic would be "Mooslim."

He knows [AGAIN, with the FAKE telepathy] the reason Muslims do not like the word,
and uses it specifically for the purpose of insulting them.

I did not look upon the Japs as being Moslems; I imagine that thay r not,
tho I don 't really know.

"Muslim" has been the term of choice reserved for descendants of Abraham since the 1960's,
When I was a child growing up in Saudi Arabia the term of choice was Mohammedan.

Are you saying that that was a bad thing for Germany to have wanted to do that?
