Be as uncomfortable as you want, I could care less how it makes you feel. They are all terrorist or being trained to be terrorist when they grow up. We are at war with Islam, which means all muslims, or did you miss the fact one of the would be bombers caught in london was a woman who was going to take her infant daughter on the plane with her as sacrifice her as a martyr? Would you have this woman killed or do you think she deserves another chance? You seriously think we can deal diplomatically with people like that?

[muawiyah]

Women are treated as captives or children throughout the Moslem world.

Real men don't target women and children.

[Jack Hammer]

In a word: Yes.

What is the difference between Islam and Muslim?

[M_Man]

A Muslim is an adhearant to the religion of Islam.

[abclily]

So, all Muslims are Islamists?

[calex59]

Nothing is the difference between them. Kill them all and then we will stop having the terror we have now. Can't happen soon enough for me. If you can't understand that our very lives are at stake and the lives of our children and grand children, then I feel sorry for you. The reason we are in the shape we are in now is because we are afraid of what the world will think of us. To heck with world opinion. Israel should have razed lebanon and if syria gave them any crap they should have wiped them out also. That is the only way this sh** is going to end. Them or us.

You think for a moment they would hesitate to kill our women and children? They already do at the drop of a hat.

Despite what we call it, the congressional authorization is to take out those who perpetrated 9/11 and any who aid, abett, comfort them in any capacity as determined by the POTUS.

Wall it "WOT." Call it "WOIsFascism."

the difference between Islam and Muslim

Moslem is the person. Islam is the religion.

[abclily]

I understand perfectly well what is at stake. I was just trying to pinpoint the terminology that is being used in the media. Islamist = Muslim, correct?

[RightWhale]

There is also islamist and islamism, which refer to the political/terror movement.

[M_Man]

"So, all Muslims are Islamists?"

Not all, though there an awful lot of Muslims with Lockjaw...

[abclily]

I looks to me like Islam is an evil religion. Made up of Muslims who want to be martyred. These Muslims want to die while they are murdering others. How could humans get more evil than that?

[Capt. Tom]

The president, as well as Senator Rick Santorum, has taken to using “Islamic fascism” to describe the enemy in this war we’re in — both provoking some outrage. Is the wording right? What does it mean? Would you put it differently?

Islamic fundamentalism. - Tom

[abclily]

What is the name of the religion of Muslims who are not Islamists?

[Earthdweller]

BTTT

[RightWhale]

I don't know why they dislike life on God's earth so much. As far as I am concerned the usual three-score and ten or whatever is soon enough to depart and long enough to do battle with Satan's minions.

[William Terrell]

No. We're at war with Islam. This doesn't require that the word "Islam" be used with the word "fascist", so I'm not politically incorrect.
