Pres Bush Nails It on Islamo-Fascism

Speaking to the National Endowment for Democracy, Pres. Bush nailed the facts down about who our enemy really is.

Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamo-fascism. Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Islam. This form of radicalism exploits Islam to serve a violent, political vision: the establishment, by terrorism and subversion and insurgency, of a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom. These extremists distort the idea of jihad into a call for terrorist murder against Christians and Jews and Hindus -- and also against Muslims from other traditions, who they regard as heretics.

Nevertheless, three times in his speech he used the term “war on terror.” As I stated in a previous blog, War Against Terrorism Not, we are not in a war against terrorism, which is a process. We are in a war against Islamo-Fascists, who use terrorism.
