An imprecise term whose meaning evolved over time. Medieval Christians tended to use the term to refer to Muslim Arabs, while the terms “Muslim” and “IslamIs one of the three Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Judaism the other two) that stresses the importance of the only one true God and man’s for... more” were not used. It remained essentially synonymous with the term “Muslim” into the 18th Century before becoming obsolete.
