In the days after the horror of the 11 September attacks, President George W Bush made a point of saying Muslims per se were not America's enemy.
But in the five years since then, he has taken less care to emphasise that message, US Muslim leaders are saying.
They are upset about his use of terms like "Islamic fascists", which he used this week both for Hezbollah and the suspected bomb plotters held in the UK.
"It offends the vast majority of moderate Muslims," Ahmed Younis said.
"The use of the term casts a shadow upon Islam and bolsters the argument that there is a clash of civilisations between Islam and the West," Mr Younis, the national director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (Mpac), told the BBC.
He said it was wrong to link the actions of violent Muslims to their religion.
"There is nothing Islamic about their fascism. The Prophet [Muhammad] and the Koran clearly articulate that this type of activity is outside of bounds for Muslims."

Don't ever get caught between an iron bridge and a gang of Islamist koranimals.

I agree with what you're saying.
These moderate Muslims better realize that if the U.S. gets hit again, and it's worse than 9/11, the Japanese internment during WWII would have been a picnic compared what might happen to them. They better start weeding-out their more fanatical members or face grave consequences.

Well, I figured the Islamists for totalitarians rather than fascists, but perhaps I stand corrected.

You're right on, Mr. Younis and if you Muslims don't clean your own house, then perhaps someone will have to "clean your clocks"!!!

BTW, one of my guys mentioned in passing that the lithium/detronium(?) can be used to make a radioactive substance?
Anyone know?
Those 1000 cell phones obtained by the ROP members picked up yesterday, the batteries are lithium aren't they?

Well virtually everything that comes from the mouths of the muslims pisses me off.
I am NOT an IFIDEL! I believe in God and calling me an infidel pisses me off!
Dhimmitute pisses me off
Jihad pisses me off
Religious intolerence pisses me off
These idiots sure can dish it out but they cant take it.
Its time to stop playing mamby pamby PC games with these jerks

Lately, I think the President and Blair (and the rest of humanity) are getting the message about islam loud and clear.

US Muslims need to spend less time being angry and more time hunting down the radicals in their midst.Don't need to hunt them down when they know who/where they are. They need to turn them in.

I'm getting really tired of the MSM (muslim stream media) regurgitating the lies of muslims about their holy book and what it says or does not say. READ the fargin' thing.
I have no more room for understanding muslims...why they are the way they are...why they think the way they think...I couldn't give a rats ass about them. They are all my enemy and will treat them all as such.
Enough bullshit.

Islamic Fascist is a redundancy in most cases.

He said it was wrong to link the actions of violent Muslims to their religion. Islamofacsisn IS their religion. It tells them to murder Jews and Christians in the name of Allah and it tells them to spread their religion by the sword with death to those who do not accept it.
President Bush was slightly in error. He called it "Islamofascism" but it is more like Islamic Naziism allied with Iranian subversion and Korean hatred.

"The use of the term casts a shadow upon Islam and bolsters the argument that there is a clash of civilisations between Islam and the West..."
Notice that a clash requires two sides fighting against each other. As long as we let them attack us without doing anything, there is no "clash". It's only "a clash" if we start fighting back.
