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."

All the more reason; other than slaughtering the local peasantry, there is nothing these lefties enjoy more than killing their fellow lefties.

I bet you could probably name a couple of dozen. Somebody up this thread said it better than me.

It's not bigoted if the facts are there.

[bannie]

Maybe they like, "Bristling Islamic Fascists" better.

Remember that Jesus warned against the time when false prophets would appear. Muhammed is an example of false prophets.

""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."

I think it was very appropriate.

"It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

<< the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions. >>

Sooner rather than later we will wish it would.

[Doctor Don]

How about.......SATANIC MUSLO-TERRORISTS? Islam is authored and supported by Satan himself! The Koran rivals Hitler's Mein Kampf.

BTTT!

[ClearBlueSky]

You know- they're right.
There are no Islamofacists. Just everyday, regular Muslims.
These are no different than the ones running your local convenience store, and those are no different than the 'terrorists'. CAIR says so.
Good enough for me!

[kcvl]

I have a few choice words that they wouldn't like either. That's just tough!

[prairiebreeze]

prairiebreeze has taken to calling them "dirty muslim bastards".

Wonder what they think about that.

[PRePublic]

They are always "offended" at the truth, cartoon or defining the war on terror.
They will never address their cancer of standing by their radicals or helping their radicals, yes, it is Islamofasciosm, they say Bush's remark will "inflate", My Gosh the only ones INFLATING emotions are the Muslim butchers, no one else.

[familyop]

Islamic fascist pride goes before defeat.

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

Now if only he would urge his murderous buddies to "restrain" themselves.

[proudCArepublican]

or what ever the name is gets upset to bad this is america we have freedom of speech and frankly it is not my 90 year old grandmother doing this who did they just catch in England were they Catholic, Baptist, Mormans NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so finally Bush called it like it is

[proudCArepublican]

great post but I thought according to the left it is all Bush fault my god I think they forgot history if they look back at the beginning I think we can see all the president during the time were Dems, and Republicans maybe we should send those dates to the morans who think this just started when Bush became President.
I remember the Munich days, I remember the Pope, I remember the Cole the first trade center bombing so this problem has been going on for along time.

[Walkingfeather]

I prefer ( coined by me) Islambies.

[Miss Behave]

Smear honey all over it and declare Islamic Fascism open season for free licking, and in a pig's eye will ANYONE be able to keep from barfing up the TRUE fundament and goal of those who are not Infidels.

I'll pimp my tag and the caller one more time.

OH, and the Islamic fascists can kiss my fundament.
