Both 'Moslem' and 'Muslim' are correct. They are spelled differently mostly because when the word was translated from itsoriginal language different people came up with different spelling. You can have it described to you better by going to ask.com and do some more research on it. I did it for you.
Muslim
Moslem
noun
1. A follower of the religion of Islam.
adj
1. Belonging or relating to Muslims or to Islam. See also Islam, Muhammadan.
Etymology: 17c: from Arabic muslim, literally ‘one who submits', from salma to submit (to God).
Info:
Both Moslem and Muslim are correct, but the second is now more common than the first. The term Mohammedan is considered offensive by many Muslims and is best avoided.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English language lists "Moslem," Muslim" and "Muslem." All are capitalized.
Here's the AHD's note on usage:
Moslem is the form predominantly preferred in journalism and popular usage. Muslim is preferred by scholars and by English-speaking adherents of Islam; it is considered the only correct form by members of the Nation of Islam.
