Muslim Group Upset by Bush's Use of 'Islamic Fascists'
A Muslim group criticized President Bush for saying on Thursday that America is “at war with Islamic fascists.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations said the president’s “hot button” terminology puts the name of Islam and the Muslim community at risk.
Bush called the attempted terrorist attack "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."
Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR, believes Bush should not even mention Islam when referring to the would-be terrorists.
What would you like them called?
They are Islam and they are terrorists.
They are willing to blow their selves up in order to kill thousands of Americans because they believe Allah has 40 virgins waiting for them on the other side. The only thing waiting for them is a seat in hell.
Anyone for Terrorist Profiling?
To ensure we Americans never offend anyone -- particularly fanatics intent on killing us -- law enforcement and security screeners are not allowed to "profile" people in public places or security checkpoints. However, they will continue to perform random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year-old congressmen with metal hips and even Medal of Honor recipients. But targeting Middle Eastern male Islamists between the ages 17 and 40 constitutes "ethnic profiling."
