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."

many fought doubly fierce for Uncle Sam (and US generals of WWII knew it) because they felt so inspired to PROVE their loyalty to the United States since it was under question. the islamos amongst us, a whining bunch of seditionists with hidden loyalties, can't match this in a million years

I thought "about damn time"
He doesn't get to be as candid as all of us are allowed to be. It might not be strong enough for some - but I was glad to hear what he said and hope that he keeps that tone.

Bastards. Thank you limp wristed politicians for not ending this NOW! It is time to light em' up!

"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.

Dear Mr. Awad:

It is also counterproductive to blow non-Muslims up with bombs or cut their throats or crash their airplanes into building full of people.

So you can take your righteous indignation and fold it until it is all corners, then ram it right up your ass, you diaper-headed sack of feces.

Further comments redacted by me to avoid violating FR posting rules.

Believe me. I was speaking with a number of them this weekend. Liberals believe in their heart that we should withdraw and return home and all will be well.

It is hard to think clearly when your head is up your ass.

WHY do the leftist-oriented media treat these as isolated events, cover them once, then LET THEM DROP?
WHY do the leftist-oriented media NEVER LET THE MEL GIBSON THING DROP?

The answer is that the leftist-oriented media are in FAVOR of the murderous head-chopping chanting religious ditties wonderful oppressed people.

I refer to the Islamic Fascists as the Izis, in honor of their predecessors.

Certainly INDIANS who wrote into a newspaper in India know how to tell a spade a spade. Check THESE out, just now, especially the last writer:

How come Pakistan uncovers plots and arrests and extradites terrorists of any origin including Pakistanis to USA or UK? Why the double standards with India? Come on Pakistanis. Don't tell me you guys didn't know about the 7/11 Mumbai bombing? Send Dawood back to India. B Dinani Texas, USA ============ India's worries are two-fold. It does not know from where this terror strike will come? India may officially tell anything about origin of terror attack from Pakistan, which may be partially true also, but in recent times, most of it is inside act. Second problem with India is that it can never get the same type of information as US and UK got due to obvious reason. R Singh Delhi =============== A mass killing has been averted. Thanks to the UK Police. UK & US have been nurturing ground for terrorist. When terror strikes in India they talk about human rights. Where the hell the Human rights people are now?? Should innocent people be targeted this way? The UK & US should track down all the preachers of violence and hatred and come hard on them. In India, to hell with the tag of "secularism" and vote-bank politics and kill those terrorists without mercy. I am a citizen of this country and I have my freedom. When innocent Kashmiris are killed day and night, no Human Rights people, nor the secularists, cry for them. They talk of minorities and secularism. This should end and it should begin now, now.....and now. KRG Pillai India ============= Muslims, violent and the silent ones, both are forcing the non-Muslim world slowly into a situation, where anything with a Muslim tag would be seen as a major threat. How come we find no Muslims coming forward and helping the authorities fight terror in various countries? If persisted with this, Islam might even end up being regarded as a psychiatric illness and an illegal faith within the next few years. Pankaj Mohan Ahmedabad ==========

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

I agree--I much prefer "Islamofascists."

Ditto's to that !!

US Germans bristle at FDR term "Germanic fascists"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. German groups criticized President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Germanic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-German 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 the Nazis.

"We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Germany or Germans with fascism," said Nieder Artle, executive director of the Council on American-German Relations advocacy group.

"We ought to take advantage of these incidents to make sure that we do not start a nationalistic war against Germany and Germans," he told a news conference in Washington.

"We urge him (FDR) and we urge other public officials to restrain themselves."

Artle 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, FDR said it was "a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Germanic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation."
