Merriam-Webster recently released a new list of words to be included in it’s dictionary. 
Guess what? They added the word “Haram”.
You can check the original article here
Check out the new words yo!
Acai
The small, dark purple, berrylike fruit found in central and south
America has been known by this word since 1868 but its place in the
dictionary has been forced by a recent fad that claims it is an aid to
dieting
Goji
A big year for berries all round, with the dark red mildly tart bruit
of a mainly Asian shrub making its entry thanks to its new popularity as a
flavour in drinks
Haram:
Items, usually foods, forbidden under Islamic law
Memory foam
Another recent fad, this time for a mattress that supposedly
remembers the shape of your back
Neuroprotective
One of several new words relating to health and medicine,
it refers to drugs that protect neurons from injury or degeneration
Reggaeton
Another fusion word, in this case relating to the union of rap
and Caribbean rhythms in popular Puerto Rican music
Now that it’s officially “Americanized”, next time you see a brother or sister eating something haram, tell them to read the dictionary and stop eating it! =)

Thanks for informing to our Muslim community center about this word
Saw this the other day while surfing the net, was a surprise but that is how language develops and new words get added I suppose.
was a surprise, but that is how language evolves, and words to add, I think.
