CAIR BASHES BUSH ON "ISLAMIC FASCISM"
CAIR is calling out President Bush for finally calling the enemy what it is -- Islamic fascism. If CAIR loved freedom, justice and the American way, they would be denouncing Hezb'Allah, Ahmadinejad and aiding law enforcement in cracking sleeper cells in our great country.

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 8/10/06) - A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today expressed concern over President Bush's use of the term "Islamic fascists" in a news conference about the arrest of 21 suspects in a plot to bomb airliners flying between Britain and the United States.

In a letter to President Bush, Parvez Ahmed, board chairman of the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) wrote in part:
"Unfortunately, your statement this morning that America 'is at war with Islamic fascists' contributes to a rising level of hostility to Islam and the American-Muslim community. Just today, Gallup released a poll indicating that four out of ten Americans feel 'prejudice' toward Muslims.
Either you are with us or against us. Otherwise, you are part of the fifth column.
Personally, I generally just call them terrorists. They clearly have some qualities in common with the fascists of the 30s and 40s, but, frankly, calling the terrorists "fascists" does a disservice to the fascists. In my opinion, today's Islamic terrorists are worse even than the Communists, who previously held the record. Worse qualitatively, that is; the difference is that the terrorists don't yet wield the kind of power that the Communists once did.
If anyone ever figures out what CAIR wants us to call the people who try to blow up airplanes, let me know. In the meantime, I'll keep on calling them "the *&#)@/ terrorists."
