USING THE PROPER LABEL FOR TERRORISTS

Yesterday President George W. Bush caused quite a stir when he made a statement to the media on the airport tarmac. His exact words were: "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." That's right....he said it. Islamic fascists. It's about time somebody the president start using the proper label.

This didn't set too well with CAIR, the Council for American Islamic Relations. Perhaps a better name for that organization would be the Council for Anti-American Islamic Retaliation. But anyway, I digress. Back to CAIR's comments. Their executive director took issue with the Islamic fascism label, saying "We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism,"

Ill-advised? How can a term that is so fundamentally correct be "ill-advised?"

A quick check of Dictionary.com finds this definition of fascism: "A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism." Sound familiar? Let's see....Iran...Syria....Iraq under Saddam Hussein...The Taliban....and on and on. Fascism is what these terrorists who were trying to blow up the planes yesterday ultimately want for every country. Total Islamic domination, in other words, a theocracy.

CAIR went on, speaking about the president: "We urge him and we urge other public officials to restrain themselves." Restrain themselves? Why should they? We're being attacked! Islamic fascists have declared war on Western culture in general, and the United States in particular. Our leaders are showing too much restraint, not too little.

Since when does speaking the truth require restraint? Just about every terrorist attack in the last 30 years has been committed in the name of Islam. That's their public relations problem, not ours.

By the way, no mention in the news coverage of CAIR's remarks of a condemnation of terrorism. Imagine my surprise.

[NotchJohnson]

I think I hate CAIR more than the terrorists.

[dennisw]

Jihadist scum works for me

also

Mohammed worshiping terrorists

[sgtbono2002]

CAIR is the jihad movement in our country.

[Dark Skies]

Wouldn't it be great if the President had a fireside chat with America and defined the enemy clearly and laid out a clear program for defeating it.

Oh, well...maybe the next President will.

[rhombus]

This morning on CBS radio I heard them called martyrs (I kid you not) and later on NBC I heard them called jihadists.

[SE Mom]

You know what's SO funny about this- I have heard the president use the SAME phrase to describe these savages before. Yesterday was not the first time. So- either they heard it before too- and just ignored it- or they waited til it was more likely to get a rise out of their constituents.

Either way..the president didn't say this for the first time yesterday.

Just about every terrorist attack in the last 30 years has been committed in the name of Islam. That's their public relations problem, not ours.

Exactly!

[Congressman Billybob]

If CAIR thinks that "Islamic fascists" is "ill-advised," I guess they won't like my candidate for the word to describe deadly Muslims. I propose MAZIS, pronounced like it looks, and meaning "Muslims who act like Nazis." To CAIR I say, stick that in your hookah and smoke it.

Please see my most recent new statement on running for Congress, here.

[Rutles4Ever]

The president is only using the title that the terrorists have given themselves. If CAIR doesn't want peaceable Muslims caught up in the backlash, they need to bring down the hammer on their clerics and punish these fools in a public manner for spreading this poison across the globe. Until then, CAIR will just have to deal with it.

[MarineDad]

The only label I ever want to see used for terrorists is DEAD.

In the end, that's the only one that really matters...

[flynmudd]

CAIR needs to STFU. Then move to the ME where they will be more appreciated.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Stop the murders, bombings, head choppings and we'll be more inclined to call you nice names.

[Aquinasfan]

Mohammed worshiping terrorists

That's why we should call them "Mohammedans," rather than Muslims, since they are followers of Mohammed. Besides, they hate the label.

[Doogle]

proper label= muslims

[Eurotwit]

He started using it in some speeches late last year. However, he technically did not himself call the terrorists islamic fascists. He said:

"Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamo-fascism."

Cheers.

"A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism."

Doesn't sound like a "right-wing" system of government does it?

[ishabibble]

Is that nice? Where's your diversity? Take it back or I shall have to report you to the multicultural thought police.
Know what that means? They confiscate your family jewels and make you sensitive to all the victims of oppression. Women, the homosexual community, cop killers and pedophiles, and of course, most especially, the loving members of the Religion of Peace. Your training will take many hours and many, many gov't dollars, but at the end, you awaken your inner child and be one with vegans.

*I was going to put the smiley, but after proofing it, I realize that this scenario happens all the time in public schools and workplace seminars. Now I'm sad, time for another cup of coffee. Then I'll check the CAIR website and see if they've put up the condolence page for U.S. Army soldiers Menchaca and Tucker. I've been waiting and waiting...*

Goat f-----s,ragheads,Mooselimbs, I calls them the way I see them and thank the president for doing the same. This PC bs makes me sick.
