US Muslims bristle at Bush term "Islamic fascists"
By Amanda Beck


WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - U.S. Muslim groups criticized President George W. Bush on Thursday for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Islamic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions.

U.S. officials have said the plot, thwarted by Britain, to blow up several aircraft over the Atlantic bore many of the hallmarks of al Qaeda.

"We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations advocacy group.

NEW YORK - A new Gallup poll finds that many Americans -- what it calls "substantial minorities" -- harbor "negative feelings or prejudices against people of the Muslim faith" in this country. Nearly one in four Americans, 22%,

While Americans tend to disagree with the notion that Muslims living in the United States are sympathetic to al-Qaeda, a significant 34% believe they do back al-Qaeda. And fewer than half -- 49% -- believe U.S. Muslims are loyal to the United States. say they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor.

Almost four in ten, 39%, advocate that Muslims here should carry special I.D. That same number admit that they do hold some "prejudice" against Muslims. Forty-four percent say their religious views are too "extreme."

Well I have news for you CAIR and all Muslims for that matter. STOP DOING TERRORIST ACTS AND STOP PLANNING TERRORIST ATTACKS AND PEOPLE WILL STOP VIEWING YOU AS TERRORISTS! Muslims stop beheading people. Stop bombing people. Stop killing for your God. Start actually being the peaceful people you claim to be instead of lying about it. Stop the Al-Taqiyya. We are wise to you. Islam is exposed. And until you stop doing these things you will not be liked or accepted by the West and you will not be called “Islamic facists” or Terrorists. Its that simple.
