Yes Mohammedan is the more accurate label for them. They absurdly claim to revile idolatry but they pray to the feet of clay pagan idols named Mohammed and Allah. They pray to the Kaaba idol in Mecca. Muhammadanism is a superstitious juju good luck cult same as you find on Caribbean islands

CAIR should change it's name to "council for psychotic serial killer islamic fiends" (CPSKIF).

Me too. Especially important is correct terminology when we have Brian Williams equating the Jihadist Scum with Army Rangers and Navy Seals.

Well something is mentally wrong with Brian Williams if he says that. Maybe the US viewership is so low they have given up and are after pissant muslim countries. Maybe thats the market. By the way who is the dork that always speaks for CAIR who wears what looks like a sock on his head?

it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism

It might be counter-productive to the goals of CAIR, but it is nevertheless true.

...Especially important is correct terminology when we have Brian Williams equating the Jihadist Scum with Army Rangers and Navy Seals.

In fairness to Mr. Williams, until I hear otherwise I will agree with Howlin that he was a victim of speaking before fully engaging the link between a sleepy brain and muscular vocal apparatus.

That said, while I heard the President stumble over the awkward phrase, Islamic-fascist, I would prefer the more easily remembered and pronounced, 'Slamnotsy'

While still to remain loyal to my liberal roots, I can no longer tolerate the absurd refusal of the PC crowd to call a spade a spade...

For what is worth, by the way, I am disgusted with the Mexican flag bearers and think it is time to get out and come back with honesty and fairness.

This is not an attempted hi-jack, just an explosive venting of bottled rage.

Ah, I must admit when I first saw the discussion about Mr. Williams I was tempted to show the clip from an USAF ad, We've been waiting for you which followed the exploits of the kid in the crowd who took risky adventures generally only dreamed of by those of us who responded to Charles Atlas ads to counter the sand kicking bullies of the world...hmmm, now, there's a thought.

> "Islamic fascists"

The onus is now on the silent majority of mooselimbs to
try to put some distance between themselves and the
Cutthroat Cultists. Don't hold your breath.

> I propose MAZIS ...

Everybody's a NAZI. The word has no punch anymore,
particularly with generations of historical illiterates
suffering from government school brain damage.

Cutthroat Cult pretty well captures it.
If asked: "by that do you mean muslims?"
answer:
"you tell me"

Maybe we should just settle for calling them what they call themselves, "those who wage jihad", or simply "jihadists".

Not only are these terms used by jihadists in the suicide video they customarily make as part of their preparation for their attempt at earning a glorious reward in the afterlife, but those Muslims who encourage and support these activities use these terms in their praise.

We even have formal groups using the word jihad in their name: Jihad Group in Egypt; Jihad Movement in Bangladesh.

They don't hesitate to issue public statements: "Text of Fatwah Urging Jihad Against Americans"

(http://www.ict.org.il/articles/fatwah.htm)

If "jihadist" (a person who follows fatwahs demanding jihad against Americans) is good enough term for the participants, it is good enough for me.

Of course CAIR wants to deflect and diffuse attention to exactly what these people are trying to accomplish which is to enforce the Three Questions that Islam presents to all those outside of that belief system: convert, submit or die.

I could swear President Bush used the term "Islamofascists" the other day (within the past week or so.) I don't recall the occassion :( , and I sure wish I had made a better note of it. I was loving it!

That must be what I heard the other day!

Seems to me that the press has taken to calling them militants, lately.

Boortz, the presient has used that term more than once, and not just recently. Check before you speak.

The president has given many speeches, defining exactly who the enemy is.

I disagree. Find a cop, and call him one. See what happens.

Personally I think associating Muslim extremists with one of the most widely reviled movements in history is a good idea. ;-)

I, too, think "Islamic fascist" is an inaccurate name for Koran-inspired terrorists. It's also lame.

First, by calling it "Islamic", the term explicitly, and erroneously, indicates that they are acting in submission to God. I don't think that Koran-inspired terrorists deserve such respect.

Second, the term "fascist" describes a Western totalitarian political philosophy. Since WW II, "fascist" came to mean any political philosophy (other than Marxism) or regime that one does not like. It's now just an all-purpose political insult, but not a very good one because Koran-inspired terrorists have no coherent political philosophy. This so-called Islamic fascism is not a political movement.

I prefer to call them "militant Muhammadists". This correctly identifies them as violent followers of a false prophet. Muhammadism is, of course, an old, derogatory name for the religion of Mohammad. Muslims never refer to their religion as Muhammadism because they believe that it's Allah's religion, not Mohammad's (PBUH and all that). "Good" Muslims should not take exception to the term "militant Muhammadism" since we're only applying it to terrorists and their sympathizers. If a Muslim were to object to using that term to describe terrorists, you could reasonably conclude that he believes that the terrorists are really Islamic and, therefore, a militant Muhammadist.
