Hold your huzzas.
"Islamic fascists" has both good and bad points. It is a great improvement over that idiotic phrase the "war on terror." It is no longer possible for our government, or other Western governments, to pretend that Islam has nothing to do with the assorted terror plots foiled, or in some cases carried out, all over the world. The Administration must have sensed the fury directed at it not least from those whom it might have counted on to support it -- and who, for good reason, are opposed to the timidity and the stupidity with which the Administration has so often behaved.
But "Islamic fascists" is only a milestone along the way. Islam appears only adjectivally here, modifying the noun "Fascists." This still hints at a group that has possibly "hijacked" or "perverted" a great religion. Much remains to be made clear. What are these things about Islam, and the Jihad, that need to be made clear?

I will be very upset if Bush recants and makes and effort NOT to use the phrase again. In fact, he should stand up and use it every time he can.
