It applies to a small number of Muslims who are targeting and killing mostly innocent Muslims currently in Afghanistan and Iraq. The reason they are targeting and killing innocent Muslims is to achieve a political goal through fascist means. In addition, these particular fascists are killing innocent Muslims in the name of Islam. Thus the term Islamo-fascists. > During the Christian Crusades and the Inquisition, the small number of fanatical Christians who were terrorizing Christians and others in the name of Christ would be accurately described as Christian-fascists. This does not apply to all Christians and neither does calling the radical Muslims Islamo-fascists apply to all Muslims as Santosh falsely claims in a deliberate attempt to misrepresent the term. > The proof that he is doing so deliberately is because this term has been clarified over and over again, on Goanet and other forums that Santosh subscribes to, so he knows it does not apply to Muslims in general. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | | | | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
