The 'Islamofascists' Would Kill Me First
I am a Muslim who has renounced Islam. I am an apostate. I have had very unflattering things to say about the Prophet Mohamed (number one no-no of all time in the eyes of radical Islam). If an Islamic theocracy were to take over, I would be the first one strung up.

Islamic radicals are not known for their patience for Muslims who denounce Islam and the Prophet Mohamed. They're known for killing them.

Nonetheless, here are three reasons why I am not scared of the Islamofascists...

2. An Excellent Piece, Sir!
Thank you for finding it, and sharing it here.

While all its points are very good, the third is especially powerful and pertinent. The fact is that the administration's line in this has always boiled down to systematic inculcation of cowardice as the desired response of the populace to what threat actually exists. This is unheard of in the history of leadership of a people involved in any conflict, and reveals the falsity of the entire endeavor. It is an open acknowledgement the threat is exaggerated, known to be far less than it is claimed to be, and promoted for domestic political effect only.

"Courage is the form every virtue must take at the sticking point."

3. No such thing as IslamoFascists or even IslamoCommunists!
This is a fake lable created from neo-conservative think tanks. I know David Horiwitz is going to college to college shedding crocodile tears for the poor gays and Women in the hands of Muslim theocratic regimes, but does he really care? Democracy begins at home and befor you can shove Wasp Capitalism down the throats of 3rd world Muslims you better not have a police state in your own country. IslamoPhobia is the real problem. If you are really a true Muslim, then you might want to talk American Black Muslims. Your problem came from Islamo-Capitalism. Rich Arabs use religion to suppress poor Arabs. The fear of death is just Political engineering. It was the USA who sided with the so-called Islamo-Fascists to fight Godless Soviet Communists. Now U.S Imperialists has turned the guns around to hold of the oil. A lot of Arabic kids are becoming Atheists and even Anarchists! That is the evolution of Revolution! Good luck dude!

8. Good analysis
I especially hate the term 'fascist' when applied to Islamic radicals.

The definition of a a fascist springs from the Mussolini regime in the 1930s and 1940s and it had little to do with religious theocracy and EVERYTHING to do with authoritarian secular governments in league with big industrial interests.

From that basic concept sprang the Third Reich and Japanese Imperialism.

So, Islamic radicalism is really a REJECTION of the capitalist/fascist model.

Still dangerous, but ultimately preventable.

5. If Al-Qaeda didn't exist...
the BFEE would have to invent it.

Oh waitaminute they did create it - it was called the Mujahideen - a quick rebranding and they're ready to go in their new guise.

7. Kick for a great piece.
The weasels in Congress revealed as the bunch of self-serving pantywaists (no offense to women intended) that they are.
