The definitions above are first hits from Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, 1996/1998; the synonyms come from dictionary.com. The quotes demonstrating how to use the word Muslim are preserved from Webster's 1913 in the 1996/1998 editions, and a broader slice of their source document, some "flawed historian" Baron's bragging rights about his kin's participation in the crusades, can be found here.
