10 points to the braniac who can actually explain how the term "Islamofascist" is not a non sequiter

Gee - half an hour an the best zinger I've gotten is a wingnut complaining I've misspelled Republican. Personally I think the epithet Republitard is far more apt in it's use than Islamofascist is by the White House...Republicans on here, on the whole, are retards, hence the contraction 'Republitard'. If Bush & co can make up words, why can't I? And so far, zero attempts to actually answer my questions. Surprise, surprise. You right-wing dipsh!ts have absolutely lived up to my expectations.

OK - the second #3 should've been 3b. Unlike Bush, I can admit even the most minor mistakes

OK beerbohms - quite a surprise, a wingnut with a brain (you're not a Liberal masquerading are you?). My judgement is close, but no cigar. Pity I can't give you 7 points. The terrorists are fighting for a religious ideology, not a form of government per se, though I'll grant that the Quran does offer a system of what could be viewed as laws. They view the West as infidels who must be converted, but that's hardly a political goal. They don't want to rule our nation, they merely want us to follow their religion. If you look at the origins of fascism in Mussolini's Italy, you'll see that it is very much a state-sponsored policy of repression, which works hand-in-glove with commercial interests. Hence in Nazi Germany, big business actively backed the Third Reich, profiting massively along the way. To apply the classic definition of fascism to religious extremists is patently illogical. In point of fact, the USA meets essentially all the criteria that defines a fascist state. Care to refute

see no evil - like that wonderfully moral, upstanding Republican Mark Foley? He's a marvelous example of butch manhood, ain't he? Nearly as nice an example to follow as the Republitard leadership that knew about this perv for at least 5 years and yet did zero about it to protect impressionable teenage boys. Yeah - yours is the party of family values and traditional morals, all right.

Muse - opinions vary. I have heard it said that Muslims do not, in point of fact, consider Jews or Christians to be Muslims. Why? Muslims are the followers of Ishmael (spellings vary), whereas Jews are the followers of Isaac. The tribes split off and haven't been reunited. Also, Muslims believe in one god, indivisible. Hence the Christian belief in a trinity is an anathema to Muslims. In both cases, only once a person has embraced the teachings of Mohammed and accepted Allah as the one true god do they become a Muslim. So sorry dude, I ain't wrong.

And Muse - I didn't say Muslims, I said the religious extremist terrorists. Islam preaches tolerance of all forms of worship. Naturally, Muslims would prefer non-Muslims shared their religious beliefs, but the Quran (on the whole) states that people must come to Allah of their own devices. A forced conversion is no conversion at all.

First of all, you used #3 twice. Can't you count?

1 fascism - (a) A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. (b) A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. (c) Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Essentially, "follow my rules or else you won't live another day."

2 The terrorists do not fight as representatives of any country, let alone any country that actually was represented at the Geneva Convention to sign the document. Therefore, the terrorists are not entitled to the rights/privileges granted in the Convention document.

3 True Islamic faith itself has nothing to do with fascism. Yet, every terrorist attack has been committed by people who have twisted the Islamic faith to serve their fascist tendencies. "Follow Allah or I will kill you, infidel."
(Overall, it's just calling a spade, a spade.) This small slice of Islamic people are fascists. Thus, Islamofascists.

4 The definition of fascism (#1) really has nothing to do with (#2) terrorists not fighting for a country, or the Geneva Convention.

When he will get a few "genius" features possibly they're going to. But, whilst he's carrying on with to spoil the wellness care process and sitting on his a** for the duration of the oil spill, please forgive persons if they do not see the "genius" in that. By the way in which, you do not must be a "republitard" to peer what a moron he's. If there's such a lot to be jealous of, why do not you identify a couple of examples of ANY well he has performed for America?

Although you have a great arguement, you're wrong in your edited note.
Muslims don't want to convert the west and don't believe Christians are infidels. In fact, Jews and Christians are considered as Muslims by the people you are calling Muslims.
Islam believes the Word of God was delivered to the people in three Books: the Torah,the Gospel, and the Qu'ran. According to Islam God did this to make it easy on the people and not dump so much on them at one time.
According to Islam, Jews, Christians, and the Believers in the Qu'ran are all Muslims. Infidels are those who have never heard the Words of God as yet. It is the infidels they wish to spread the Word to, not kill them.

what i'd like the republicans to address also is why bush is now allowed to name any american citizen as an enemy combatant and, therefore, deny us habeus corpus and why they don't care. do they really think he won't come for them when he needs to.

bush calls the islamists fascists because bush always engages in projection.
