US: CAIR, Fox News And "Islamic Fascism"
I do not have access to Fox News, and rely upon terrestrial TV, but I really wish I caught the interview between Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and Bill O'Reilly, which was broadcast last night on "The O'Reilly Factor". O'Reilly pulls no punches and is sharp as a pin, and for all those who had the misfortune to miss the show, there is a transcript available.
O'REILLY: The question of the hour is, that your group does not want people like me and President Bush to say the term "Islamic fascists." And I submit to you, sir, that's exactly what these killers are.
AWAD: OK. And I will agree with you on one point, but also let's remember that President Bush after 9/11 used the term "crusades." Then White House officials retracted that term. And after that when we invaded Iraq, we called it Operation Infinite Justice. Then we retracted that term and we called it Enduring Freedom.
Now we could see that inflammatory rhetoric can be devastating to our image and the message we would like to send to the Muslim world. Number one, there's nothing Islamic about fascism. And there is no link between Islam as a religion and fascists.
O'REILLY: Let me stop you there. Let me stop you. OK?
AWAD: Go ahead.
O'REILLY: That's true. Is there anything - is there anything remotely connecting Italians with fascism or Germans with fascism? Because those two countries were at one time fascist states. Were they not?
AWAD: And you know what? And they are also - they're not Muslim. They were Christian. We never called them fascia Christians. And I'm saying here.
O'REILLY: No, we said Italy and Germany were fascist states. And right now, we're fighting a stateless enemy.
AWAD: Yes.
O'REILLY: ...but they are all Muslims. 100 percent of the terrorists that we're facing are Muslims.

UPDATE: With thanks to "Intelligence Summit", a commenter from Terror Free Oil, you can see the video at his site HERE and also you can watch another recent Fox TV clip of Nihad Awad defending his friends in Hezbollah abd accusing Israel of "state terrorism" HERE.
