«US Muslims Bristle at Bush Remarks
US Muslim groups have criticised US President George W Bush for calling a foiled plot to blow up airplanes part of a "war with Islamic fascists," saying the term could inflame anti-Muslim tensions.
(...)"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.
"We ought to take advantage of these incidents to make sure that we do not start a religious war against Islam and Muslims," he said in Washington.
(...)"The problem with the phrase is it attaches the religion of Islam to tyranny and fascism, rather than isolating the threat to a specific group of individuals,"
(...) "We've got Osama bin Laden hijacking the religion in order to define it one way ... We feel the president and anyone who's using these kinds of terminologies is hijacking it too from a different side,"
(...) "The president's use of the language is going to ratchet up the hate meter"...
