Muslim is the person, Islam is the religion.
As in "I believe in Judaism. I am a Jew"
"I believe in Christianity. I am a Christian"
"I believe in Islam. I am a Muslim"

The term Muslim comes from the original Mussulman. It is the original term in Turkish and Persian for one of the faith of Islam..
Pretty sad that a non-Muslim guy can know this.
I am a 'fount of useless knowledge' sometimes....
"Musulmán" is also the Spanish translation of "Muslim," as well as the Persian word for "Muslim." In addition to the Persian dialect Dari, it is also found in Pashto, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Turkish, and Bosnian.

there is no Islams, rather Muslims are the followers of Islam
Like Christians follow Christianity
and Jews follow Judaism
and Buddhists follow Buddhism.
