CAIR is attacking Re. Thaddeus McCotter because he has called those slaughtering innocent Iraqi Muslims “jihadist-fascists.”

“Representative McCotter should use his time on the House floor to foster dialogue and mutual understanding, not to introduce hot-button terms that will further damage our nation’s image in the Islamic world,” said CAIR’s Michigan Executive Director Dawud Walid.

Walid said President George W. Bush had stopped using the term “Islamic fascist” after Muslims in America and around the world had protested that it was ill-defined and counterproductive in persuading people in the global conflict against terror.
