'Well, racism aside, the use of the term "Islamofascist" shows a high degree of ignorance about what fascism actually is'

You may be right there, Carol; not perhaps a well-chosen word & not one I used in the original posts I was ref-ing. But, then, out of interest, what word would YOU use for that admittedly small but unhappily indubitably prominent Islamic movement responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Dutch cartoon debacle, &c? & do you, personally, regard it as 'racist' even to mention its existence? - in which case I think you will be aligning yourself with the 'antisemitism' criers denounced by Little Hawk, don't you?
