I have ascertained from reading literature that is Philippine, and reading

[kay_mulan]

literature that is American,

that in the 1960's the word was "Mohammedan" or "Muhammadan"

and that from hostile activity

there are those who use the word "Islam"

who seem to be trying to eradicate the word "Muslim."

I am,

again,

a practicing Catholic
Mormon
Jewish person,

who is literate, and very intuitive when it comes to cultural changes and media trends.
