President Bush: "This Nation Is At War With Islamic Facists Who Will Use Any Means To Destroy Those Of Us Who Love Freedom."
CAIR is calling out President Bush for speaking the truth, finally calling the enemy what it is -- Islamic fascism.It took five years, five years to say the enemy's name.
If CAIR loved freedom, justice and the American way, they would be denouncing Hezb'Allah, Ahmadinejad and aiding law enforcement in cracking sleeper cells in our great country.
U.S. MUSLIMS CONCERNED ABOUT BUSH'S USE OF 'ISLAMIC FASCISTS' - TOP
CAIR: 'Today you equated the religion of peace with the ugliness of fascism'
Yeah, you read that right. Religion of peace? Only under a pax islamica. No peace until we all submit to Islam. That's right folks. That's what RoP means..........RoPMA
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/10/06) - A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today expressed concern over President Bush's use of the term "Islamic fascists" in a news conference about the arrest of 21 suspects in a plot to bomb airliners flying between Britain and the United States.
SEE: Religious Group Bristles at Bush Term 'Islamic Fascists' (Reuters)
In a letter to President Bush, Parvez Ahmed, board chairman of the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) wrote in part:
"Unfortunately, your statement this morning that America 'is at war with Islamic fascists' contributes to a rising level of hostility to Islam and the American-Muslim community. Just today, Gallup released a poll indicating that four out of ten Americans feel 'prejudice' toward Muslims.
Either you are with us or against us. Otherwise, you are part of the fifth column.
UPDATE: Meanwhile in Britain, they are scared to death to speak its name. Dhimmitude.
'Arc of Extremism' By WILLIAM SHAWCROSS
LONDON -- It took President Bush to tell the truth to Britain about the alleged massive plot to blow U.S.-bound airliners out of the sky. In his first comment on the apparently foiled attempt, he put it simply: "This was a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."
He is right, but in the first news reports in Britain yesterday, the words "Islamic" or "Muslim" were hardly mentioned, let alone the dread word "fascist." Instead the common code-words on television were that the 24 men arrested were "British-born" and "of Pakistani origin." No mention of their Islamist ideology. Does the BBC think they might turn out to be from Pakistan's embattled Christian minority? I don't think so.
In Europe, the truth is so terrible that we are in denial. Perhaps it is understandable. We simply do not know how to deal with the fact that we really are threatened by a vast fifth column, that there are thousands of European-born people, in Britain, in France, in Holland, in Denmark -- everywhere -- who wish to destroy us. You see this denial in the coverage of Israel's war against Hezbollah. The deaths in Lebanon are utterly tragic. But if you watched only British television, particularly the BBC, you would be hard-pressed to understand that Israel has been forced into a war for its survival. Last weekend people marched in an anti-Israel march though London carrying banners proclaiming "We are all Hezbollah Now."
As the historian Victor Davis Hanson recently pointed out, there is a moral madness at work here. We refuse to admit there is a pattern to global terrorism. We are terrified of being called "Islamophobic." European papers are frightened to publish cartoons which some Muslims demand we censor, but are happy to portray the Israelis as latter-day Nazis. Not for nothing does Mr. Hanson say that we have forgotten the lessons of 1938.

The 7 Fronts Of the War On Terror
BY YOUSSEF IBRAHIM
The jihadist skirmishes burning around the world are flaring into a larger firestorm in the summer of 2006, a situation that will surely intensify as we approach the fifth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. The fires are burning on...










In all fairness to George Bush, he has used the term Islamofascism before:
"Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; and still others, Islamo-fascism. Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Islam. This form of radicalism exploits Islam to serve a violent, political vision: the establishment, by terrorism, subversion and insurgency, of a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom. These extremists distort the idea of jihad into a call for terrorist murder against Christians and Hindus and Jews -- and against Muslims, themselves, who do not share their radical vision. "

The reason Bush quit saying 'religion of peace' is because no one could hear him above the snickering.

Make me puke. Every one of those people arrested today was Islamic.

Those creeps at CAIR make me so angry I feel as if my head is going to explode. How dare those thugs use this as another opportunity to whine as victims, whine, whine, whine.
I was so disgusted all day seeing the ball-less MSM talk about "South Asian British Born men" that it was a delight to hear President Bush tell it like it is. I hope that he does not back down now that the whiners of CAIR are playing victim. And Reuters is just as bad. As if they haven't done enough despicable acts by what they have done to Israel through their bastardized photography...they probably called the wankers at CAIR and asked them, "What do you think????"

Naming the enemy has become a big deal issue in this war. Weird!
If Bush doesn't give in and apologize, then his will be a major victory in the war.

CAIR has got to be a high profile public relations front for Islamofacists just like Al-Jazeera. I would not be suprised if this organization has deep roots in Iran and Pakistan. The FBI needs to put PC considerations aside, investigate, and shut-down this organization.

Also, Sparrow, tell me, since when did President Bush apologize for anything?

"four out of ten Americans feel 'prejudice' toward Muslims."
That means 6 out of 10 Americans are idiot sheep who do not see the threat coming.
I use the description "idiot sheep" because I am too refined to use the words "fucken morons."

CAIR SHOULD be upset. They should be upset enough to have hauled in the rabid rats who hijacked their religion. Islam has been defined as murderers and terrorists, but it's been by the actions of these "groups" over the last 25 years, not by George Bush.
If Al Quada, Hezbollah, Hamas, DON'T represent Islam, then what the hell have the Muslims been doing letting their religion be defined by these monsters?
The "we're peaceful" violin just don't play in Peoria. Sorry. The world makes this association because it's earned.
Either fix it or be ready as this inordinate tolerance of your complicity wears away completely. Judging by the results, the Muslim world DOES endorse everything that's being done in their name.
Ms Lekovic, here's an experiment for you. Go behead a few people and leave signs there that say "The Mafia was here". See how long it takes before they show you how well they put up with people using their name for acts they didn't do.

just a minor quibble with yoda, otherwise substantially agree w/ him.--
no one "hijacked" the muslim religion. this is what they are. they just are feeling their oats, emboldened by a little oil money; a cringing cowardly europe; and, american leftist apologists.
yoda is precisely correct in arguing that the muslim world explicity endorses the actions of terrorists.

Oh, I see only Jews and christians can be called FASCISTS.
This lable just doesnt apply to the most tolerant democratic religion on earth: the choices are soo numerous:
-Religous freedoms: you can choose to be sunni or shi'ite etc...,
-Fashion: Hijab,Niqab or burqa?: you choose!
order yours today here at:
http://www.silkrouteclothing.com/DB04/cream/browse.htm
-freedom of expression: burn an Israeli flag? or an Isaeli? and/or American flag? or American?
-& finally the freedom to submit to Islam or become a Dhimmi and pay your jiz'ya or to have your head chopped off.
what is FASCIST about Islam? its millions of people who spend all of their time praying for World Peace!
sounds like the ideal RoP.
just check it out for your-self:

Religion of peace? I wonder if the people who use that term have ever read the Koran? I did, and was amazed at the constant references to killing infidels ("unbelievers" or "losers"), making them drink boiling oil, cutting off their hands and feet on alternate sides of their body, etc etc etc.
The religion of peace my ass.
The day will come that all this peace will reside in the "South Asian" part of the world, for every nation will kick its inherents out. Of course, it will probably take a couple more 9/11s to make that happen.

adherents, not "inherents". Sorry.

As Savage says, CAIR is the "Council for the American Islamic Revolution". Too funny!

Islam is the religion of peace. It's just that a small subset of people who call themselves Islamacisits are trying to hijack the religion.
Analogy: Christianity is the religion of Christ.
People like Falwell, Dobson, Robertson, etc are trying to hijack Christianity to say and do things that are the opposite of Christ's beliefs.
I have no problem weith Bush calling out the differences between Islamacists and Islamic facists.
Anyone with an iota of grey matter knows there is a difference.

I seriously doubt Islam could ever be called a religion of peace, however there is abundant evidence that Islam has been infiltrated by the Nazis. Bush could have called them Islamo-Nazis like Sufi Muslim scholar Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi does at http://www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com
My father and several of my uncles fought the Nazis in WW2 and now we must fight them again. It is high time to call the enemy what it is: They are Nazis in Islamic clothing and they not only live as terrorists, but as fifth columnists in our own country.

I don't normally use a lot of profanity but I could run through a long list of four-letter words describing my feelings about CAIR.
CAIR should be hauled into court under RICO statutes and its leadership -- what few aren't already in jail for fundraising for terrorists -- should be doing long stretches in a Federal MaxSec. With nothing but their stupid KORAN and a prayer rug.

From the Wikipedia: "Fascism is a radical totalitarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, authoritarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-anarchism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism." I was unaware that Al Queda or the other radical Islamic terrorists are corporatist or nationalistic. They do have elements of the other characteristics.
On the other hand, the current Republican party is corporatist on the basis of its legislation which favors big business in a big way. The unitary executive theory is authoritarian. The American exceptionalism and emphasis on maintaining our world dominance is pretty nationalistic. Bush has appeared all most exclusively in the presence of military personnel as backdrops. And I am sure he would say he was anti-anarchist, anti-communist and anti-liberal. Thank God he isn't totalitarian - oh wait, all those signing statements...
Karl Rove's strategy is to displace attention of his side's weaknesses by pointing at the opposition and accusing them of that self same weakness, i.e. "Islamic Fascism".
Now you are going to call me names and go drink some more kool-aid.
