Was there a reason the Moro are described as the older term 'Moslem' rather than the term in more common usage 'Muslim'?

Probably because the sources I was reading were using 'Moslem', which was the going word back then.
If it isn't part of a direct quote, feel free to change it to 'Muslim'. Thanks for catching that. No disrespect intended.
It's kind of like the one I wrote on Nanjing, which used to be called Nanking in English before the reform. Or Hawaii, which was referred to as the Sandwich Islands once upon a time...

Other than that I don't think there's anything for me to change, so would you like to have a read-through and let me know if you're happy for it to be sent on its way?
