Mussulman.TheMussulman law divides into two classes all the inhabitants of the earth: those who profess the faith of Mahomet are called, without distinction of rites, sects, &c. “Musslem,” which in Arabic signifies a person resigned to God, the dual of which is Mussulman. The nations who deny the divine mission, and reject the doctrine of the prophet, are confounded under the common denomination of “Keafid,” infidel, or blasphemer; a wretch wandering in darkness, whose eyes are shut to the light of revelation. Thus all infidels form but one people.
