Islamofascism, Like It's A Brand New Term

George W, in a very recent speech, referred to Islamic Fascism.  Many talking heads, and Islamic individuals, were quick to denounce this labeling, as if the term had never been bandied about previously.

I first used the term back in December 2002, in a post titled Old Orwell?, where I linked to one of Orwell’s As I Please articles from 1944.  The link is to my old Blogger blog, and the link to the Orwell article, via my old blog, still is fresh.

Anyway, Victor Davis Hansen has a few words to say on Islamofascism in a piece titled
It’s Fascism—And It’s Islamic

Hansen’s piece may be construed to have been written to defend Bush, but, even so, he is pretty spot on regarding the term Islamic Fascism being accurate.
