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."

What in the world are all of the Islamics doing in this country anyway. Everything they believe in, is NOT HERE, this is a country of Jews and Christians with a few other beliefs thrown in, but their quoran says they aren't supposed to associate with us INFIDELS. They are not supposed to be associating with us in any way or fashion, SO WHY DO THEY WANT TO BE HERE?, other than our money. They come here and call us names, get insulted and appear on tv proclaiming their "hurt feelings" when they don't agree. Want us to accept them while their kindred spirits are beating the bejesus out of the Jews. They keeps their lips sealed while two of our soldiers were horribly mutilated, ms caroll was kidnaped, yet not a word escaped from their sealed lips. I've heard all Muslims are not terrorists, but ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS. Swedish grandmothers did not fly those airplanes into the World Trade Center or the Pentagon.

Number one, in the first place .. I've gotten beyond ever thinking in terms of being acquainted with you .. I don't want to know you, about you and I certainly don't want to be 'productive' with or by you.

Number two in the second place .. I prefer Murderin' Satanic Bastard as a perfectly legitimate description of you and your kind.
Your kind because they are .. and you because you do nothing to stop it.

Screw you and your Islamofascist, murderin' Satanic bastards .. ALL of you !!

President Bush 'war with Islamic fascists'...on point...expressing it as 'the terrorists' has always seemed too politically correct. The more CAIR dislikes it is sound evidence of how accurate it is.

Well as the prophet once said, "If the shoe fits, you probably don't have enough explosives in it".

LOL! That's a keeper.

Oh shut up.

When you start actively fighting to counter their "jihad" I'll restore some sympathy. But as of this point I am done.

No, I don't believe all "Muslims" are lurking around the corner to imprison the world behind a rigid ideology. Though I'm not so sure I don't believe that of THIS group...This stated, I do believe their passiveness to what millions ARE doing makes them complicit.

Enough. I'm done with pacifists. They are enablers.

Just as 51% of Dem activists in CT that voted are enablers to our enemey. I don't care if they are dimwits that cannot grasp the nature of the threat. Their actions give the terrorists incentive to keep fighting.

Instead of being "outraged" over the truth, you damn well ought to be outraged that those fascists under the name of Islam planned to kills thousands of innocents. And then you should have turned over every bit of info you might have to remove their allies. You should join up to fight the devils. yet this is all you can rouse yourself to do?

Just shut up.

CAIR is evil.

Exactly. They should be outraged by today's events and distancing themselves from the Muslim extremists. Religion of peace, my butt.

Typical of the DBM.......FORGET the ISLAMOFASCISTS' Terrorists' PLOT to KILL THOUSANDS of WESTERNERS, that was FOILED-STOPPED-THWARTED, and shift the news to something the PRESIDENT said that violates some ridiculous LEFTIST PC tenet.

"3000 people alive today that would have otherwise been disintigrated over the Atlantic" OR "The POTUS identifying the terrorists by the name ISLAMIC FASCISTS"..........which is the MORE important story???

You be the judge!!
