Washington based CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations (its headquarters is pictured), is complaining that President Bush said this morning that we are at "war with Islamic fascists."
Well, Bush, who used the term in October with little reaction (the National Review noted it, and was pleased he used it), is right. We are at war with Islamic fascists, or if you prefer, Islamofascists.
Here's an excerpt from the CAIR press release about Bush's comments:
American Muslims have consistently condemned all acts of terrorism, whether carried out by individuals, groups or states. We repudiate anyone who plans or carries out a terrorist act. The American Muslim community remains dedicated to the protection of our nation's security. . .
Nicely worded. Note that the press release doesn't say "CAIR has consistently condemned all acts of terrorism...."
CAIR issued that famous phony fatwa against terror last year.
And as I've noted before, recently CAIR has condemned Israeli "terrorism" in Lebanon, but has been silent about Hezbollah, a terrorist group, firing missiles into civilian areas of Israel.
If that's not terrorism, what is?
I'll end this post with comments from Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, the general manager of Al-Arabiya news channel.
It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims.
If it's possible, wake up CAIR. Islam, your faith, has a violent underbelly. But maybe you don't care, CAIR.
