Muslims groups angry with Bush (Oh My!)

Washington - US Muslim groups criticised US 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.

US 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 counterproductive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations advocacy group.

Restraint

"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 US officials should take the lead from their British counterparts who 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."

'Islamo-fascism'

Bush and other administration officials have used variations of the term "Islamo-fascism" on several occasions in the past to describe militant groups including al-Qaeda, its allies in Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff told MSNBC television the phrase reflected what he called Osama bin Laden's own vision of leading a totalitarian empire under the guise of religion.

"It might may not be classic fascism as you had with Mussolini or Hitler. But it is a totalitarian, intolerant imperialism that has a vision that is totally at odds with Western society and our rules of law," Chertoff said.

What percentage of terrorist acts have been committed by non-Muslims?

How many Muslim Clerics have denounced terrorism in definitive terms in a public forum?

How many Muslim diplomats have stood before the UN General Assembly and said, “We hate terrorism”?

How many Muslim leaders have stated that terrorism is illegal and if caught, terrorists will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?
The answer to all the above in 0..

And if the Muslim communities don't like the way we handle our security so we won't be the next victim's on the terrorist list then I say go back where you came from.Leave my country and never come back..

Muslims slam Bush term "Islamic fascists"

How about demon possessed, moon worshipping, animal abusing, woman hating, death loving, buggering sacks of s*it.

Better?

Oh, dang. I mean, I thought we were supposed to think that Islamic Facists were different from other Islamics. But, hey, ok, I'll view them as all the same if they really want...

The cult with which we are at war is :

a. Islamic, and
b. Fascist

Therefore, it's not a great inductive leap to say that we are at war with Islamic Fascists.

That's the thing that I noticed as well. This is what they get upset about? Nothing on the guys doing the plotting? Not a word about their religion being hijacked?

We need to keep baiting CAIR and getting the truth out about Islamofascism. Fascists are political thugs whho seek to usurp, and then take over legitimate government, as did the Naziz and Facisti of Italy, and in many other countries.

If we keep baiting them, many will take up the gun here in the USA, and then? Checkmate, they are history.

They can go suck a duck a far I'm comcerned. They should thank thieir 'god' that they're all still alive after 9/11. If it were up to me . . . let's not even go there. bottom line is that they can take their backwards homosexual death cult and shove it where it would make their buggerboy 'prophet' mo'hamhead smile the most. Until then, they can choke to death on their crocodile tears.

Screw islam!

Good post.
They are trying the "PC approach" and the "education approach" on duel fronts. Its about time folks start seeing them for what they really are - Liars, murderers and terrorists.
They should leave America soon as we are beginning to not want "American Islamic Relations".

HAHAHA!

No, what inflames anti-Muslim tensions are proud gloating videos of captive beheadings, flying planes into buildings, blowing up marketplaces, and in general acting like rabid dogs.

Until they finally figure this out, and that is asking a LOT from savages, they are just going to have to deal with "Anti-Muslim sentiment".

If this concept is too abstract for them to grasp, as it appears to be, there is no point in even responding to them, unless it in in the only language they understand: The High Explosives they seem to love so much.

"Muslims groups angry with Bush"

Hopefully, he will not apologize in any way for his honesty in making that statement--even with the fears that such groups try to disseminate.
