Yeah, I know....a guy I used to date said I never moved beyond the four year old's "why....." phase. But anyway, I was wondering what the difference is between Muslim and Islam? it's not a joke, I really don't know. And I was wondering if anyone knows what "Al Qaida" means? I know it's -the- something.

Has anyone heard whether those 100 missing suitcase nukes have been found?

Islam is the name of the religion.

A muslim is one who follows Islam.

That's what I thought, but when you don't know the language there are often things you miss just because you are accustomed to 'thinking' you know what it means. I just found an article that translates "Al Qai'da" as "the Base". Still don't have any word on the missing nukes tho'.

I looked this up and some sources say it means "the base" while others say it means "the Word." Interesting. (on Yahoo, punch in "Al Qaida means" -- in quotes just like I showed it here -- and you will find both meanings on various websites; that's how I found this one btw.
