Sorry, but if this term is offensive to Muslims, why repeat it?....

What's interesting is that the very same definition itself states that it is a religion based on the teachings of Muhammad; hence the term. Nowhere here is there a reference of the worship of Muhammad himself as a deity, which is what was claimed here by Abd. That is all.
