Why "Islamofascism?"
Fascism in definition is (from Webster's dictionary) is "A political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"
The Islamic extremists which for Islam to be an all encompassing lifestyle and government law, it fits quite well with Webster's definition of fascism, and is therefore...Islamofascism, a growing threat against democracy and the American way of life.
Where is CAIR located?
Why was this moved to the bloggers & personal?
CAIR has offices all over, I think they are out of DC
Hey why was this topic moved to a spam folder?
Good deal! There's a crying need for this.

The bloggers forum is not a "spam folder".
ah, just thought it would get better coverage in the news section. Don't think it fits really with bloggers & personal but I've learned to not argue with a mod on a forum :)

I won't quibble on whether Webster's idea of "fascism" is correct. But The Jihadists really don't care about nation or race -- only the Muslim religion, plus "recognizing" jihad as the "neglected duty" as per Faraj and Qutb.
I would never describe shar'ia business law as an "economic plan" in the Mussolini sense, either. The only reason they might care whether the trains run on time is so their bombs might kill more people.
