Second Israelites, are people from Israel.
Thirdly I sadly bothered to search google, and brought to you latin root and prefixes.

Alot of English's germanic based dialect has disappeared.. Many components of the English language include latin, germanic, and greek. Altough arabic language doesn't play a major role in English, it does in spanish, and Portugues. There is no clear set of language conversions in English, because English is a mixure of many languages.
Thirdly the Greek root "ism", means "the act state or theory from"
Lastly but most importantly, "The word Islam is a verbal noun originating from the triliteral root s-l-m" Yes.. a muslim root which has its share in English.
Since I have a feeling you are going to debate "muslim", the root slm is still in it if you notice..
English writers of the 19th century and earlier sometimes used the words Mussulman, Musselman, or Mussulmaun. Variant forms of this word are still used by many Indo-European languages. These words are similar to the Turkish, Kurdish, Persian, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Hindi and Portuguese words for "Muslim".
There is no English laws prohibiting you from making words with Muslim roots. English is a mixure germanic, latin, greek, and its common sense to make a arabic word have arabic roots, and prefixs. Christian is made from the latin word, "Christianus" Why did they remove the us? Because languages don't have a strict code. That is why latin spread out to 3 different languages, and its components can be found in all European language.
