It is very insulting to call Muslims Mohammedans, why is the admins allowing this lunatic to post fascist propaganda.
Criticism noted and appreciated. But, Abu, up to the early 1970s in Guyana, I recall hearing some Muslims referring to themselves as Mohammedans. That's how I first heard the term. I know for a fact that we Hindus simply called them Muslims or Fullaman, depending on the level of our education. Just being honest, Abu. Terms change over time. What was fashionable a generation ago is no longer so.
A person who worship Christ is called a Christian, an person who worship Buddha is called a Buddhist, therefore it is implied that a person who worship Muhammad is called a Muhammadan.
Muslims do not worship Muhammad and is insulted by such insinuations.
This term was coined by anti muslim bigots like the ones quoted above.
This topic is the same nonsense that is causing problems in India today as a result of the Hindu Nationalist idiots running around lynching Muslims and Christians.
Let me make one thing clear, India has never been a Hindu country at anytime in its history and its single greatest achievement is to call itself a secular country instead of the shortsightedness of its Pakistani counterparts that call itself a Muslim country.
If Mithwah wants to do research, the fist step is to research Tariq Fattah to see that this man is merely a sensationalist who likes to listen to himself talk.
I would suggest that Mithwah go out and buy some real books and read from such writers and Tariq Ali or Vijay Prashad etc, and stop posting this RSS cut and paste propaganda.
