- 1 folder of textual records
- Scope and Content
- File consists of a pamphlet by Jacob Lestchinsky titled Jews in Moslem Lands. The pamphlet was issued by the American Jewish Congress as part of its Jewish Affairs series.
- Notes
- General note: The spelling of "Moslem" (as opposed to "Muslim") is contested. In a post published on the History News Network in 2002, Yii-Ann Christine Chen notes, "The seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different. A Muslim in Arabic means 'one who gives himself to God,' and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means 'one who is evil and unjust' when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z." The OJA has retained the spelling as it appears on the pamphlet without, however, endorsing it.
