I don't know about that. But Hitchens apparently coined the term "Islamofascism." I don't know if "fascist" is the most apt term for it, but the term probably is meant to appeal to the rhetoric of the far left, which uses the term "fascist" almost reflexively.
I don't mean an intentional slight. Maybe I should have said oversight. If Dreher doesn't read Steyn, he should.
I like the word islamofascist. I have adopted it. I was wondering who coined it. It's a good word to use. Steyn uses it as well.
