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.

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

I think it was very appropriate.

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

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!

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.

"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.

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.
