If you are speaking of the Balkans, Jared, we are in full agreement. The secular, progressive and patriotic Yugoslav state was destroyed by means, among others, of Islamists. But in the Middle East, things are not _that_ easy. [snip] I expected Nestor, upon picking up this thread, would do one of his best points: Nailing people for their grossly over simplistic use of the term fascist. I am really stressed at the number of people casually using this term to describe Islamic anti-imperialists. They are brutal, patriarchal, all that- but please,! don't casually toss about this word as if it were a swear to throw at nasty people in nasty regimes. The fascists are starting to show themselves in Washington, DC and Ottawa.... check out the new immigration policy, the "terror" legislation and ask who really runs the deal... and who is invading a sovereign country.
