LATimes: Muslims Upset by Bush's Remarks

Los Angeles Times ^

[quesney]

President Bush was widely criticized by Muslim leaders Thursday for saying that the breakup of an alleged plot to blow up airliners over the Atlantic Ocean was a triumph in the "war against Islamic fascists."

Muslims, already resentful of the scrutiny they have been under since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, said the politically charged phrase unfairly connected one of the world's great religions with Nazism and totalitarianism --- and fueled hostility against Islam and Muslims in America.

They said it also contradicted Bush's earlier statements that Islam was a religion of peace.

"There's nothing Islamic about fascism," said Edina Lekovic, communications director for the Muslim Public Affairs Council in Los Angeles.

"There's nothing Islamic about fascism,"

Like the Caliphate? Nah...

As my wife likes to tell my kids, "Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it."

They said it also contradicted Bush's earlier statements that Islam was a religion of peace.

Islamic fascists have contradicted the idea of the ROP.

"There's nothing Islamic about fascism fascist about killing all infidels," said Edina Lekovic

Today Islam?????Well when exactly was it different.These guys were 10times as savage when they enjoyed the advantages of modern technology(from China,India & Greece etc) while Europe was still in the dark ages.

Islam is a religion of peace, don'cha know?

Islam isn't even a religion except to the very poor who are trapped in it. Islam is a violent, theocratic political system.

[bfree]

often Fascism a. 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. b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. Oppressive, dictatorial control.

If the shoe fits

You know, the "peace-loving" Muslims in this country might be more likeable if they would get upset over the fact that other Muslims are doing these terroristic activities, instead of what the President says.

"The use of ill-defined hot-button terms such as 'Islamic fascists,' 'militant jihadism,' 'Islamic radicalism' or 'totalitarian Islamic empire' harms our nation's image and interests worldwide, particularly in the Islamic world."

What's harming your "nation's image", sir, is the radical, fundamentalist, militant, nutbags within your own membership. I'd say it's time to wake up and clean house, or else shut the H up.

[N. Theknow]

Muslims upset by words and cartoons but not by suicidal actions of other Muslims to take the lives of thousands of airline passengers and possibly other people on the ground.

How very Democratic of them.

[edpc]

They need to stop denying history. From Frontpagemag.com.....

The Nazis managed to recruit some Moslems directly. Several Moslem SS divisions were raised: the Skanderbeg Division from Albania, the Handschar Division from Bosnia, and smaller units from throughout the Moslem world from Chechnya to Uzbekistan were incorporated into the German armed forces in one capacity or another. This was only taking the first step in Heinrich Himmler’s planned grand alliance between Nazi Germany and the Islamic world. One of his closest aides, Obergruppenführer Gottlob Berger, boasted that

"a link is created between Islam and National-Socialism on an open, honest basis. It will be directed in terms of blood and race from the North, and in the ideological-spiritual sphere from the East."

[Berlin_Freeper]

Muslims are angry about this, they are angry about that...

What doesn't make Muslims angry?

And why are they angry anyway?

Don't they listen to the Left Media that reports everyday how the US is bogged down and losing in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan, and is losing the War on Terror? Haven't they heard it widely reported from the Left Media that the US backed Israel is losing to Hezbollah?

For people who are winning in every way shape and form according to the Left Media, what are they so angry about?

[Red Badger]

The truth hurts.............

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Yes,my sentiments exactly

[NewLand]

Muslims...said the politically charged phrase unfairly connected one of the world's great religions with Nazism and totalitarianism

CORRECTION: ...the politically charged phrase unfairly accurately connected one of the world's great religions with Nazism and totalitarianism and fascism

[Lazamataz]

These idiots don't realize that when we get hit again, we WILL build fences and put them behind them. The ones we don't shoot first, that is.

Dig it.

[VOA]

I'm glad these Islamic leaders are just as full of hubris as the Nazi leaders were.

By grabbing hold of the thinnest of pretexts (or constructing one
if needed) in order to claim insult, they reveal themselves as the
inheritors of the Nazi ideology.

They simply show that the civilized nations will have to defeat them.
Or endure long years of war and, if we lose, long-term dhimmitude for
those "generations yet unborn".
