10/13 Regarding the discussion below, is Muslim the proper term for
those people who live in the Middle East, North Africa, Persia
and follow (to varying degrees) the teachings of Mohamad?
\_ a guy i work with who is one of the brightest, most multitaleneted,
fun to work with , hard working people it's ever been my
privelage to work with is a muslim, and he's from new york.
-a jew who is not a predjudiced asshole
\_ He must not be a practicing muslim, as the attributes
you describe he has are mutually exclusive to the practice
of islam.
\_ Muslim is the name for followers of the religion of Islam.
\_ In my language Mohamad rougly translates to "Exterme Imbicile".
Thus his followers can be refered to as Extereme Imbiciles.
\_ which language, if serious?
\_ The term Mohamaden is used to describe Muslims. This
is general written Maha (meaning great/extereme) and
Mudan (meaning imbicile/idiot) in most Indian languages.
\_ "most" -- indoeuropean or dravidian?
\_ I would say most sanskrit (indoeuropean) based
languages. Dravidian "languages" is somewhat
of an oxymoron, as they are most closely related
to primitive grunting than a real language.
Most scholars consider dravidian "language" forms
to be the native language forms of india, since
sanskirt was introduced much later by the vedic
invaders whose origin is much disputed. |
