Reply #37: Islamofascists DO exist.

[meldroc]

As mentioned, the Taliban of Afghanistan are prime examples. The Wahabbiists of Saudi Arabia are another example. They believe that their flavor of Islam is the One True Faith, and will impose such monstrosities as strict Sharia Law. They demand that women must be dressed from head-to-toe in burqas, cannot drive vehicles, vote or even appear in public without a male family escort; classic punishments such as stonings, amputations, beheadings for various offenses (stonings for adultery or homosexuality, for example.) They've murdered & maimed thousands, have committed other offenses, such as destroying the thousand-year-old Collossus Buddhas in Afghanistan, and otherwise made the lands they rule into total hellholes.

Not so different from what Bush, Cheney, Pat Robertson & their ilk want to do in the U.S...

Granted, the right-wingers have extended the definition of "Islamofacist" to "anyone who practices Islam", which only serves to cause more problems...
