Remembering this, President Bush said Thursday that an uncovered British terror plot to blow up planes flying to the United States was further proof "that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists.", I wonder whether terrorists carrying out murderous attacks on behalf of their warped Christian beliefs, such as bombing abortion clinics and murdering the doctors, will be classified as 'Christian fascists'?
Or what about these Catholics:
Bomb discovery fuels fears of dissident republican revival
Owen Bowcott, Ireland correspondentThursday August 17, 20
The discovery of a partially detonated 70lb bomb in a house being built for the Ulster Unionist peer Lord Ballyedmond was blamed yesterday on dissident republican groups intent on launching a fresh campaign of terror.
The incident followed the Real IRA's claim of responsibility last week for fires in retail stores in Newry, County Down, and explosions on the nearby Belfast-Dublin railway line. More than £10m damage was caused.
In this week's attack on Lord Ballyedmond's house near Hackballscross, Co Louth, the detonator on the bomb, packed in a natural gas cylinder, exploded but failed to set off the main charge. Irish army bomb disposal experts eventually made it safe.

Just wondering whether being Christian makes a difference...

I know.
But my point is whether anyone would call them Christian fascists.
I see. I agree it was a poor choice of word. Most likely an off the cuff, as opposed to a scripted remark.
anonymous, The IRA is very careful to only show attacks on British soldiers and not fish and chip shops and the like.
I'm afraid you don't know the history of the IRA's attacks if you think they only attack soldiers. You're way, way off the truth.
