But it's probably a triple word score...

There is no such word as Islamofascism. This word was invented by the Bush Administration for the 2004 campaign, and is used to stir up fear in Americans.

What do you think of when you hear the word Islam? Shi’a and Sunni? Gaza? Mosques? 9/11?

(republicans are betting on the latter.)

What do you think of when you hear the word fascist? Hitler.

That’s right, no one thinks of anything else when they hear the word fascist - even though Hitler was more a mass murdering lunatic than a fascist, for a real fascist you need Mussolini.

So the people that use this made up word want you to equate the extremists Muslims that attack the west with Hitler, and would like you to ask yourself this question:

Wouldn't you do anything to stop Hitler?

The problem is that they are not fascists. And they aren't the Nazi's. They are evangelical Muslims. Maybe now we see why we need to keep people from knowing the most frightening thing about these people, because they are no different from the same kind of homegrown religious terrorists that bombed abortion clinics in the 80's and 90's. There is a significant portion of this country that thinks like them, they are absolutists - so is the far Christian Right. These two groups have way too much in common for either to be doing the work of the prophet they claim to love so much.

So whether they are Islamofascist, Christofascist, or Hebrofascists - it doesn't matter. Terror is terror; state sponsored or rogue, international or homegrown, political or religious. And there is no excuse or justification for it.
