The preferred English is now Muhammad, but there are many others and it is polite to follow whatever convention is used for a personal name. However, according to the Guardian style guide some Muslims find the traditional spelling "Mohammed" and varients to be archaic and disrepectful. Now there you go confusing things for poor Wilbur, Jeff. He likes everything to be simple, with only one "right" answer--the one he thinks is right. Ambiguities like those you suggest will drive him to distraction. No, I just consider the source. It's more to do with inference than ambiguities. What Jeff infers is often a non sequitur. As the premises spring from the source and the source is suspect then premise equals moot point as concerns being driven to distraction. Simple unassailable logic. Wilbur Hubbard |

Well, that may be so but there are a great deal of Moslems I have met with my spelling of my name in Turkey, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Oman and in Indonesia and Malaysia. This is the first I have heard of any spelling of the name to be disrespectful This is the first I had heard of that. I don't know if its specifically British, or new political correctness. Of course, a newspaper style guide is likely to be responsive to a vocal minority, so its not clear what the meaning of "many" is. http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide...184829,00.html Muhammad Muslims consider Muhammad to be the last of God's prophets, who delivered God's final message. They recognise Moses and Jesus as prophets also. The above transliteration is our style for the prophet's name and for most Muhammads living in Arab countries, though where someone's preferred spelling is known we respect it, eg Mohamed Al Fayed, Mohamed ElBaradei. The spelling Mohammed (or variants) is considered archaic by most British Muslims today, and disrespectful by many of them |

So is that pronounced "Ked," or "Qwed"? quod erat demonstrandum you can look it up, but basically Wilbur's parents have been slurred. Yah. T'was but a joke, son. The idea being...oh bugger it. ;-) Are you an "Asterix" fan - Gosginny and Udzero? Peter H Wasn't before, perhaps now. |

It ain't even close to being phonetically correct. |

It ain't even close to being phonetically correct. Yes KLC, He was a Jewish boy. for his entire life, he was never a Christian. I was always confused as a kid by the many pictures of Jesus (we refer to him as Isus ibn Mariam - the last often is spelled with a "y"). He was usually portrayed as having blonde hair, fair skin and bright blue eyes. His outstretched hands were never calloused like other carpenters. I'll bet you didn't know that he is also the Moslem Messiah. . cheers Peter- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I've never heard of him as a "Moslem Messiah" as far as I know, the Muslims, consider him a great teacher, but not the "onlybegotten Son of God" , and deffinately not on the same level as Mohammed. As this is not a Theology discussion group, I shan't elaborate too much but you are confusing the three mentioned people and roles. 1 Moslems belive that Jesus was a prophet of God as was Moses, and others. 2. When Jesus stated that he was the "Son of God", this is what any member of the Pharisees believed - that each was a son of God. Have you even wondered why Jesus was not brought before the Sanhedrin on charges of blasphemy because of that statement? 3. In the Koran, it clearly states that the Prophet Mohammed said - "there is no Mahdi (Messiah) save Isus ibn Mariam (Jesus, son of Mary)" I threw that to KLC but he refused to pick it up. cheers Peter Hendra |
