Mosque or Masjid ?=20=20

at_id=3D20=20
Question: There is a book entitled "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understan=
ding Islam". It discusses within it many things, including the etymology of=
the word "mosque". It says that this word is derived from the Spanish word=
for "mosquito". It claims that the word was first used during the Christia=
n invasion of Muslim Spain in the 15th century when the forces of King Ferd=
inand and Queen Isabella boasted they would swat out Muslim prayer houses l=
ike so many mosquitoes. Is this true?=20
Answered by the Scientific Research Committee - IslamToday.net
This etymology is incorrect.
The Spanish word for "mosquito" is mosquito and literally means "little fly=
". This is a case where the English language borrowed the word directly fro=
m the Spanish.=20
The word for "fly" in Spanish is mosca, which is derived from the Latin mus=
ca. The diminutive suffix "-ito" is attached to it to form the word mosquit=
o or "little fly".=20
The Spanish term for "mosque" is mezquita, derived from the old Spanish mes=
quita. This word was most certainly derived from the Arabic word masjid, wh=
ich many Arabs then and now pronounce as masgid.
In Spain during the era of Muslim rule =E2=80=93 and this was before the ti=
me of King Ferdinand =E2=80=93 Spanish speakers were using the word mosquit=
o for the insect and the word mesquita for the Muslim place of worship. The=
two words are not related to one another in any way.=20
The word "mosque" was introduced into the English language in the late 14th=
or early 15th century from the French. It comes from the French word mosqu=
=D0=B9e from the old French word mousquaie . The French, in turn, derived t=
he word from the Italian word moschea from moscheta. The Italians got it ei=
ther directly from the Arabic word masjid or from the old Spanish mesquita.

I received this stupidity from someone ...
I received the following from a friend. The information is news to me.=
Have you heard of these before?
It's been observed that most of us write "MOSQUE" for
"Masjid" and even calling it as Mosque in daily routine, what elders =
and
Teachers say that the word "MOSQUE" means the house of mosquitoes not
Masjid. So better be careful next time instead of writing mosque, u c=
an
write MASJID it doesn't matter..
Most we have seen the spelling of MAKKAH as
MECCA. The word MECCA means "Sharab Khaana" . So lets all of us be
careful of writing MECCA.
Many people whose name start with Muhammed, write in a
short form as "Mohd". This "Mohd" means"A dog which has a big mouth".
Guys please forward this message to as many muslim brothers and siste=
rs
as possible
here is my response:
I have never come across any of these because they did not exist before.
They are nothing more than a stupid fundamentalist prank preying upon bri=
stling Muslim senitivities to further divide the growing chasm proposed (an=
d engineered, in some ways) by those who created and supported the Clash of=
Civilization theories. The intelligence of the latter group (the NeoCons a=
nd others) was to correctly predict the sad results by betting on the stupi=
dity of the former (the Fundamentalists in particular and the Illiterate Um=
mah in general).
Here are some specifics, if you are not convinced of my immediate negatio=
n.
The word, Mecca, does not - for instance - mean sharaab_khaanah! I'd like=
your friend, who was quick to circulate this crap further, to show me wher=
e he found such a meaning in any authentic dictionary. The common usage of =
the word Mecca - or mecca - in English (derived from the position of Mecca=
among Muslims) implies 'centre' or 'important meeting point' or a place to=
which people of a special group flock, as in "Wimbledon is the Mecca of Te=
nnis" and Hawaai is "the tourist mecca". Such derived usages in English are=
common within the Western culture. For example, Wisden is often called "Th=
e Cricket Bible" and "Gibbon's is the Bible of stamp collectors" are common=
similes used. Less used but seen in major writings are phrases like "The h=
oly grail of drug addicts ..". However, there is no doubt in many minds tha=
t the insensitivity displayed in the naming of the fairly old chain known a=
s Mecca Dancing Clubs (a very popular series of dance halls that may also h=
ouse drinking areas in the UK) was not entirely an act of naive usage of la=
nguage.
BTW there are two towns in the USA (in California and Indiana) called Mec=
ca. MECCA is also the acronym for Model Evaluation Consortium for Climate A=
ssessment and Missile Environment Computer Control Analysis that I know of =
... and there are bound to be others.
The word Mosque is much easier to trace: [French mosqu=C3=A9e, from Old F=
rench mousquaie, from Old Italian moschea, or moscheta, from Old Spanish me=
zquita, from Arabic masjid.] and has nothing whatsoevr to do with the origi=
n of Mosquito [Spanish and Portuguese diminutive of mosca, and Latin musca,=
meaning fly - as in the insect. A more interesting derivative of the same =
root is 'musket', the weapons from which ammo flies out! In fact the 'shot'=
emanating from the musket shares more characteristics with the insect: it =
flies, buzzes, and stings!]. Incidentally, Mosquito is also the name of an =
American Indian tribe.
Mohd is a non-word (the combination of letters has no possible base in an=
y of the Western Romance languages and gives away the inventor's illiteracy=
). I think the Muslim who has 'invented' this definition - or, at least, ga=
ve curency to this via email, to create alarm - is more guilty of 'blasphem=
y' than those he deceptively accuses. Googling this in dictionaries or thes=
auri will not offer up any such word, I assure you. I shall not even try to=
confirm this; that's how confident I am. However, with theis emailed crap =
floating around, I have no doubt that this new insult to The Prophet will b=
ecome added to the current usage in many languages. One test of my predicti=
on would be to google it now (all across Google, as well as in the dictiona=
ry section alone) ... where it'll turn up nothing ... and in a few months f=
rom now, when it will indicate the meaning given it, in most cases, with re=
ference to this email. Years later, the origin will have been forgotten and=
another obnoxious word set in motion.
The circulation of such idiotic mail will eventually result in someone's =
head (possibly on Muslim shoulders) getting bashed - somewhere, someday. Th=
at this is not considered by the idiotic Muslims who buy into such shit use=
d to amaze me ... but nothing about anyone leaning towards the right does t=
hat any more. On the other hand, one could look on with mere amusement, if =
it wasn't for the toll this takes on the already rotting minds of our youth=
.
Please forward this message, too, "to as many muslim brothers and sisters=
" (and those you feel less siblingy about!) as possible. Such madness has t=
o stop!!!
Love/ABJ
