I’d like to think that many geeks realize that there are more important things in life than what their colleagues do or don’t do on their Saturday evenings, Sunday mornings, Friday afternoons and whatnot.
Ah, Seif, just you wait… With all your Jedi knowledge, you still haven’t seen that I’m planning to go haywire and turn you all into firethrowing heathens who eats kittens for breakfast! [Dark, chilling, mischievous laughter...]
In English there have generally been four terms used: Muslim, Moslem, Mohammedan and Musselman. While technically none of these violate any rules of English grammar, Muslim is to be preferred. Most spell checkers will not correct the first three terms.
From the journalism guide “Reporting Diversity,” page 19:
Is it correct to write Muslim or Moslem?
Muslim is preferred. People refer to themselves as Muslims. Many regard Moslem as a term of abuse, like people of African descent dislike being called negroes. Also avoid Mohammedan and Musselman.

I was gonna say you needed a Buddhist or a Shintoist to complete the list… but after remembering the movie I know what you need… a Capitalist !
Keep up the good work
