Yes, the problem is 'Islamic fascism'
By WILLIAM SHAWCROSS
It took President George W. Bush to tell the truth to Britain about the
massive plot to blow US-bound airliners out of the sky. In his first
comment on the apparently foiled attempt to explode airliners flying
from Britain to the US, Bush put it simply: "This was a stark reminder
that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."
He is right. But in the early news reports in Britain the words "Islamist"
or "Muslim" were hardly emphasized. Let alone "extremist" or the
dread word "fascist." Instead the common code words on television
were that the 24 men arrested were "British-born" and "of Pakistani
origin."
No mention of their Islamist ideology. Did the BBC think they might
turn out to be from Pakistan's embattled Christian minority? I don't
think so.
In Europe the truth is so terrible that we are in denial. Perhaps it is
understandable. We simply do not wish to face the fact that we really
are threatened by a vast fifth column - that there are thousands of
European-born people, in Britain, in France, in Holland, in Denmark,
everywhere - who wish to destroy us. They are part of a wider war,
what Tony Blair rightly calls an "arc of extremism" - Islamist extremism.
YOU SEE this denial in the coverage of Israel's war against Hizbullah.
Civilian deaths in Lebanon are utterly tragic. But if you watched only
British television, particularly the BBC, you would be hard-pressed
to understand that Israel has been forced into a war for its survival,
one in which Iran has empowered its proxy, Hizbullah, to undertake
the final solution of "the Zionist entity."
The fact that since Israel pulled out of southern Lebanon six years
ago Hizbullah has been allowed to hijack the whole area to create a
vast attack station whose purpose is only to destroy Israel, is taken
for granted and certainly not shown to be a cause for opprobrium.
(...)
IN A LIVE BBC interview recently, I called Hizbullah "Islamo-fascists."
The interviewer said nervously, "That's a very controversial description."
I replied that it was merely accurate. She brought the interview to a
swift close.

In Britain we are actually quite lucky. We have a prime minister who,
in my view, has committed many, many errors at home; but abroad
Tony Blair has a clear vision, both moral and pragmatic, of the threat
that we face.
And for this he is mocked and abused as nothing more than Bush's
"poodle."
In a thoughtful recent speech in Los Angeles Blair spoke of fighting
an "arc of extremism." That extremism is Islamic extremism, whether
it is inspired al-Qaida or by Teheran, whether its foot soldiers are
Sunni or Shi'ite, whether they were born in Britain, or southern Lebanon,
or Iran, or Saudi Arabia, or anywhere else.
As Blair said: The battle is over the values that are to govern the future
of the worlds. "Are they those of tolerance, freedom, respect for
difference and diversity; or those of reaction, division, hatred?"
"This is war," said Blair.
