Actually, its a jargon that I picked up on this forum too. I also don't know what exactly it means but I think it refers to muslim people .
I think its a derogatory term.

Any takers on what it means ?

found this on google:

Definition: [n] a Muslim trained in the doctrine and law of Islam; the head of a mosque

Synonyms: Mollah, Mulla

But I'm sure it is not always applied in its original sense.
