US Muslims bristle at Bush term “Islamic fascists”
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.”

Here they had a chance ONCE AGAIN to be speak out against terrorism and they failed. I am sick of it, totally!
The terrorists, homicide bombers, Hezbollah, etc all have one thing in common…they’re all Muslims!
Well as your sicko the prophet once said, “If the shoe fits, you probably don’t have enough explosives in it”.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…
what? we should call it a puppy??
Hi Yankeemom, exactly! A big ditto from me.
Many adjectives fit these CAIR assholes; anti-American, deceptive, coniving, arrogant, etc. Another adj. is consistant. They are consistanty whining, sniveling, demanding, un-apologetic, denying. It is almost funny watching these monkey turds say exactly what you expect them to say. But funny is overshadowed by maddening.
I want funny to be the major feeling. Funny as in watching their smugness disappear as they are deported to one of islams wonderful paradises, like Yeman.
Tom ( big smile here) me too. I love your post Tom!
