I guess it is a war on Islam after all.
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N06173787.htm President George W. Bush rejected critics demanding a U.S. pullout from Iraq and warned on Thursday of more sacrifice ahead to stop Islamic militants from gaining a foothold for a sweeping radical empire.
"We will never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory," he said in a speech on Washington's war on terrorism.
Citing recent attacks in London, Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt and Bali, Indonesia, Bush said while the bombings appeared random, they served a clear ideology: "a set of beliefs that are evil but not insane."
He gave a name to the ideology: Islamo-fascism.
Bush used new and more-specific language in characterizing Islamic militants as part of a radical movement much like Soviet-style communism. Rather than dismissing them as terrorist "evildoers" as he once did, he said they have a "clear and coherent ideology" and territorial ambitions.
