Naming the Enemy Accurately

President Bush is getting closer to naming the enemy we’re facing.  Last month he called the suspects in the British terrorist plot “Islamic fascists”.  In recent speeches he’s started referring to the global war on terror as a “war against Islamic fascism“:

President Bush in recent days has recast the global war on terror into a “war against Islamic fascism.” …

Bush used the term earlier this month in talking about the arrest of suspected terrorists in Britain, and spoke of “Islamic fascists” in a later speech in
Green Bay, Wis. Spokesman Tony Snow has used variations on the phrase at White House press briefings.

Mohamed Cartoons Used as a Pretext for Muslim Terrorism

Seven months after the Mohamed cartoons were courageously published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, members of the “Religion of Peace” continue to use it as a pretext to commit more Muslim terrorism: 

You may wonder, after seven months, why the Mohammed Cartoons graphic remains in the top-right corner of this blog. It’s because while most of the dhimmi press may have “moved on,” the jihadists have not. And some of the few outspoken defenders of free speech and free thought who stood up to the thugs still face threats today.   

On a side note, it is shameful that most of the American MSM cowardly censored the cartoons in the name of sensitivity.  At the height of the Muslim riots I wrote the following letter to the editor of the local newspaper, but they never published it: 

The Cowardly American Media? The publication of the cartoons of Islam's founder has triggered widespread violent protests from members of the "religion of peace".   A number of European news outlets have published the cartoons in a show of solidarity with those who believe in the right to free speech.  The same can not be said of the mainstream American media.

I find it shocking that in the country which codified the right to free speech in its constitution the mainstream American media has censored itself in the name of sensitivity.  Where was their sensitivity when CNN's Jeanne Moos was ridiculing images of Jesus Christ or Jonathan Mann was reporting on the Virgin Mary covered in dung*?  At best their self-censorship is hypocritical; at worst it is evidence that they have allowed radical Muslims to dictate that their feelings about Islam trump our constitutionally guaranteed rights.

I hope [your newspaper] publishes these newsworthy cartoons which are tame compared to the biting ones that are commonly printed in newspapers around the nation.  Not only would publishing them inform their readers, but it would demonstrate that this media outlet has the backbone to stand up to Islamofascists.

Another Leftist Tenet of Faith: the planet is overpopulated

The moral relativist I argued with a couple of weeks ago has apparently fallen for the overpopulation myth as noted in this posting: 

These aren’t theories: overpopulation is a huge problem 

Surely he is not saying that there are too many people in the world, so what exactly is he saying?  I asked him this question in the comments section of his blog.  I hope he realizes that the Population Bomb’s predictions have been debunked.  In fact, the “rate at which the world’s population has been increasing every year has been gradually declining since the early 1970s”
