Islamofascism

It's a new word (called a "coinage") with its own meaning.

With all due respect to those who object to the word Islamofascism and its cognates because Islamic terrorists aren't fascists — well, calling them Islamofascists doesn't mean we think they're fascists (rightly or wrongly), any more than saying we have "coined" a word means that we claim to have made round metallic money out of it.

Islamofascism is a brand new word with its own meaning: hostility, intimidation, aggression, violence, and oppression in the cause of the dominance and spread of Islam.

Get it?

It is not the faith that has nurtured and sustained millions of sinners around the globe for the past two thousand years. It is, as I have repeatedly stated, a 16th century novelty....
