US Muslims bristle at Bush term "Islamic fascists" Thu Aug 10, 2006 3:07 PM ET

By Amanda Beck

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Muslim groups criticized President George W. Bush on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Islamic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions.

U.S. officials have said the plot, thwarted by Britain, to blow up several aircraft over the Atlantic bore many of the hallmarks of al Qaeda.

"We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations advocacy group.

"We ought to take advantage of these incidents to make sure that we do not start a religious war against Islam and Muslims," he told a news conference in Washington.

"We urge him (Bush) and we urge other public officials to restrain themselves."

Awad said U.S. officials should take the lead from their British counterparts who had steered clear of using what he considered inflammatory terms when they announced the arrest of more than 20 suspects in the reported plot.

Hours after the news broke, Bush said it was "a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."

"Islamic pigs."


That ought to excite them.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Deport them now. They are not open to discussion of what the problem is. The first step to solving a problem...is realizing you have one. This is insantiy to let these people stay here.

[Founding Father]

I prefer "Followers of the Pedophile moHAMmudd (PBUH-Pigshit Be Upon him)".

[ModelBreaker]

What are we supposed to call them, "The Knights of Allah?" It's a fairly descriptive phrase. Or would CAIR prefer we just say "Muslims" when we mean terrorists.

[PogySailor]

F' em

This first reaction from CAIR just confirms my thoughts about them.

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith,

and Islam the only accepted religion on earth"

--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998

Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”

LIBERALISM IS A RETROVIRUS

[reagan_fanatic]

We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism," said Nihad Awad

These people live in a self-imposed fantasy world.

I suppose it would be useless to present CAIR with the facts of who has been responsible for the vast majority of terrorist acts around the World in the last 40 years or so.

[South40]

[arkady_renko]

I cheered when I heard the President say this. Finally no TROP crap. What part of what he said isn't true? They are Islamic and they are Facists. They are not Methodists Pacifists. Not Moonies. Why does the truth hurt CAIR so much? They can stick it up their *ss.

[VeniVidiVici]

CAIR can KMA.

Telling that they choose to condemn the messenger rather than the actors.

[Publius6961]

I agree.
Normal usage is Islamofascist

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Couldn't CAIR less what they think.

[Question_Assumptions]

Wake up. It's the Muslims who are acting like fascists that are associating Islam with fascisms. Don't want people associating Islam with fascism? Spend more time stopping Muslims from acting like fascists.

[Fiddlstix]

Dear Islamic fascists,

[LonePalm]

CIAR can get over it.

If they're not Islamo-fascists, then W wasn't talking about them. I think they're upset because Bush is hitting too close to home.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

"ROOTING TERRORISM OUT BEGINS WITHIN ISLAM"

My idea for a bumper strip for a concept whose time as long come.

If they cannot police their own and clean this international scourge up, they suffer the consequences. They need to clean house from all the top imams on down. If not, they as a religion, our an outright enemy of Western, Modern Freedom and Democracy.

Hours after the news broke, Bush said it was "a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."

What happened to the "Religion of peace"??

They aren't killing infidels all over the world because the infidels like freedom. It's the Islamic religion, stupid!!

At least some progress has been made.

Bush is like the guy who has to cut off his cats tail. He likes the cat, so he cuts the tail off-an inch at a time. - tom

[Steel and Fire and Stone]

.. counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism

=====================================================================

Yeah, I'll be it puts quite a hole in C.A.I.R.'s Muslims psyop campaign to accurately describe who they are. Why don't we just say "murdering Muslims and their treasonous American 5th columnists"?

Good going Mr. Prez. Tell it like it is.
