Mohammedan

Ahmed Abaddi, secretary general of Morocco's influential Islamic organization, the Mohammedan League of Scholars, said the burden falls on religious leaders "to confront turmoil and challenges" in difficult times.

The attempt to set Ethiopia on a new course as part of Kaiser Wilhelm's dream of inflaming the "whole Mohammedan world with wild revolt" had come to nought.

Mr. Shemsadi continued, “They died while defending the pure Mohammedan Islam and the holy shrines and also maintaining the national security of our country, and ascended to the heavens.”

She also cited “Mohammedan,’’ an archaic word for a Muslim often used by Westerners, as a term to be revised.

A decade or so later, when the immediate scare had passed, a less negative vision of “the Mohammedan” returned.
