Briefly explain why Islam was also known as Mohammedanism until the 1900s.

What will be an ideal response?


The term Mohammedanism for Islam came about when Christians wrongly supposed that followers of Muhammad named themselves after him, just as Christians were named after Jesus Christ. It originated in the Middle Ages, and was widely used until the early 1900s; now it is hardly used at all.
