"Christiano-Fascist(s)"

WHY are these words, expressions, and terms incorrect when applied to terrorists and
extremists, and why are they offensive to relatively true Muslims, Christians and Jews?

The answer is simple: First of all Islam and Fascism, as well as Islam and Terrorism, are
incompatible, that is to say a true Muslim would never agree to the idea that those who are not
Muslims must be forced to become Muslims or face extermination, nor would a Reformed
Muslim agree to the idea that within a nation, state or community that is predominantly Muslim
only the rights of Muslims should be respected. So giving non-Muslims the impression that Islam
and Fascism are one and the same is wrong and based on a lie that only adds more fuel to the
fire of any existing conflict between non-Muslims and Muslims. Secondly, true Islamic
Fundamentalists and Islamists are opposed to terrorism and seek only to create communities of
those who voluntarily agree to live strictly in accordance with their understanding of the tenets,
principles and laws of Islam. To better understand this one must do their own research and
discover that the majority of people who call themselves Islamists and Islamic Fundamentalists
are strongly opposed to that small minority of people whose original family background and
upbringing may have been Islamic but who have since distorted Islam and hijacked the name of
this world religion for purposes that are totally contrary to the very tenets, principles and laws of
Islam! Calling people who call themselves Muslims and Islamic and yet go around committing
acts of terrorism Islamic is like calling Ku Klux Klan members Christian. Hate and
hate-driven-violence are just as much opposed by true Muslims as they are opposed by true
Christians. A hyena that calls itself a lion or a lamb is still a hyena.

As for the tendency of most Arab mass media news agencies to use the term Zionist(s) as
strictly a negative when referring to Israeli Jews who are one of several types of Zionisms; this
too is wrong and offensive to those Zionists who are very different from other types of Zionists.
Just as there are many types of Left-wingers so too there are many types of Zionists. Zionism
is not one monolithic ethno-political movement, but actually a poor name for what is actually a
whole variety of very different groups, some which actually are as different as fire and ice, black
and silver. There are relatively progressive, peace-through-compromise-seeking anti-racist
Zionists, which a large number of Israelis who would identify with that form of Zionism, and then
there is a small but very loud minority of people who are reactionary and racists, and definitely
opposed to peace, who also call themselves Zionists, and to whom the Arab mass media news
agencies would be referring to. But these Reactionary, Ultra-Nationalist so-called Zionists are
actually anathema to Judaism, to the basic principles of Jewish philosophy, life and culture! The
term Zionism was originally meant to define that movement of Jews who sought to establish
ideal social communities (often called Kibbutzes), as Earthly Paradises, within the Holy Land,
but solely on land that would be legally acquired (purchased) from anyone willing to sell their
land. Eventually, way before the establishment of the modern-day State of Israel (in 1948), as
early as the late 19th Century (1800s), what was originally intended to be one single movement
became several, some quite different and contrary to the original movement, including some
whose illegal actions helped tarnish the name of Zionism. If the Arab mass media news
agencies would be fair, they would say "pseudo-Zionists" when referring to the minority of
Israelis who are racists hate-mongering, anti-peace-through-compromise hawks, and they
would make it clear that there are also the true Zionists, who are those good Israelis who
legally obtained their lands. That distinction would go a long, long way towards bringing about
an end to the conflict and the establishment of true peace in most of The Middle East,
especially between Jewish Israelis and Muslim Arabs! Zionism is a much misused word. As for
the incorrect term "Jewish Extremists"; it is clearly wrong, because those pseudo-Jewish
extremists are not true Jews, by any sense of the word Jewish!

The same principle applies to the incorrect term "Christiano-Fascists".

In the minds of the average television viewer or radio listener these incorrect, wrong, dangerous
words, terms, expressions get associated with all Arabs or Muslims or Christians or Jews, and
make them fear all those people whose religion or ideology was hijacked and distorted by the
fake ones (the pseudo-Muslims, pseudo-Islamic Fascists, pseudo-Christian Fascists,
pseudo-Jewish Fascists and all terrorists). And it is only logical that those we constantly fear
we most likely will begin to hate! No one likes having to fear other people, but most people who
fear other people tend to hate those people for making them afraid! Even if the truth is that the
majority of those people one fears are actually not the real ones one was meant to fear! Even
if most people of all religions, political ideologies and philosophies have much more in common
than not and would actually be able to live and coexist in peace! Wrong words cause wrong
feelings and wrong feelings lead to wrong actions! Words can be very dangerous or very useful
in preventing or getting rid of danger! Words are tools and it is up to us to use them carefully
and correctly.
