Scroll down to read rabid right-wing praise for Bush's "islamic fascist" comment. The west's hypocrisy knows no limits. They relentlessly propagandize the threat from terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians.
What about the slaughter of civilians in Iraq and Lebanon? In what way is that different? The "Christian Fascist Crusade": "Our" cause is noble. "Their" cause is evil. The world according to doublespeak.
Bush's Christian Fascism
Bush was widely criticized by Muslim leaders
for saying that the breakup of an alleged plot
to blow up airliners over the Atlantic Ocean was
a triumph in the "war against Islamic fascists"
They said it also contradicted Bush's earlier statements that Islam was a religion of peace.
"There's nothing Islamic about fascism," said Edina Lekovic, communications director for the Muslim Public Affairs Council in Los Angeles. "Suggesting there is only over-politicizes things in a way that does not accurately describe the criminal adversaries we face at the moment."
She added: "It would have been far more accurate had he linked the situation to a segment of people rather than an entire faith, along the lines of, say, radical Muslim fascists."
Muzammil Siddiqi, director of the Islamic Society of Orange County, based in Garden Grove, agreed.
"He should be very sensitive about such things so that people do not misunderstand any faith, let alone one of the largest faiths of mankind," Siddiqi said. "I don't think his advisors are giving the right advice."
It's not the first time Bush has angered Muslims with his remarks. Shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, he referred to the global war on terrorism as a crusade, a term that connotes Christian attacks on Islam in the Middle Ages.
Over the last five years, administration officials and conservative talk-show hosts have frequently referred to Al Qaeda, terrorists and Iraqi insurgents as "Islamo-fascists."
Muslims say the administration is trying to convince Americans that they have the moral high ground in the fight against terrorism.
In a letter to Bush, Parvez Ahmed, board chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, wrote, "The use of ill-defined hot-button terms such as 'Islamic fascists,' 'militant jihadism,' 'Islamic radicalism' or 'totalitarian Islamic empire' harms our nation's image and interests worldwide, particularly in the Islamic world."

At Last! Bush Calls a Spade a Spade!
1. President Bush finally has stopped using the wishy-washy description of the War on Terror and now calls it what it is.
Quote: “… 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.”
2. Democrats, who never stand so tall as when they squat to defecate on the American military and its commander-in-chief, were described on Wolf Blitzer’s newscast as saying they suspected Bush of using the latest terrorist plot to his political advantage.
So if Bush were to hide away during this plot coverage, maybe reading a book about goats to some school kids, he would be lambasted for not caring about our security.
But if he shows his face and calls the enemy what it is, he’s grandstanding for political gain. Like their last standard-bearer, these Dems excel at giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
See here how the Democrats mostly worry about American not being liked by other nations.
No doubt they would turn over our war on Islamic fascists to Kofi Annan and the UN appeasers. Source
