I often do mention the word when talking with Muslims who are Quranically literate (that sounds odd, doesn't it?) I will say, "his disciples, or as the Qur'an calls them, the hawariyuun"...and so on. That people today could become hawariyun is not an idea that anyone has ever mentioned to me. But next I'm talking with Muslims in Arabic, I'll ask about it and see what they say.<br /><br />And good post on a good article.
