	Muslim: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		Many English writers used to describe Muslims as "Mohamedans" or "Mohametans", meaning "followers of Mohammed", but this terminology incorrect and insulting, because it implies that they worship the prophet Muhammad, which is against the fundamental principles of Islam itself.
		Early Muslim philosophy is widely credited with being the vital bridge between classical Greco-Roman civilization and the Europeans of The Renaissance.
		Muslim culture began to revive after World War I, and some consider 1979 to be a crucial year when several events (peace between Israel and Egypt, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and Iranian revolution[?]) conspired to "wake up" the Muslim civilization.

		Muslims believe that God gave beauty to all women, but that her beauty is not be seen by the world, as if the women are meat on the shelf to be picked and looked over.

		But as many Muslim women come back into the fold of the untainted and true Islam, they are able to recognize the injustice of men who have for so long stripped them of their rights to be an integral part of society and "deserving the same dignity, honor, progress and prosperity as the men" (Nadvi,26).
