The correct spelling is "Moslem" which in Arabic is pronounced with a hard "s," in written English when a single "s" turns up in the middle of a word it is pronounced "z," thus the Arabs say Mosslem which in spoken English is pronounced Mozlem.

The word predates Islam and was used to describe those who have surrendered to the will of the Almighty in the days of Prophet Abraham, which similarly predates the Jewish religion.
