  • A question for you muslims out there:

    Would you be offended if someone called you this, or if for example the name of a brand was the muzzie

  • Yeah I would be offended but at the same time it would be open for debate if a Muslim felt that only Muslims can address each other by that term, yet non-Muslims can’t say it. It would be like some black people (especially in some American movies)addressing each other by the term nigger(excuse my language)but disapproving of non-blacks saying it.
