More on Islamofascism

Good article about the "Islamofascism" debate. Would be nicer if it were a little longer and more developed, but it makes good points anyway. The term "Islamofascism" has always made me a little uncomfortable as well--it always seemed somewhat anachronistic, inappropriate and propagandistic. On the other hand, its relative conceptual simplicity appealed to me--at the very least it reminded people that what we are up against is more than freedom fighters. Let's hope this debate continues--language is perhaps the most important weapon in this war of ideas, and it will be very important how we decide to understand it and sell it as a war worth fighting.
