As far as anti-violence marches..I have seen none, not doubting that they exist, but I'm betting these marches all take place in a civilized western society
For every westernized/peaceful muslim there's likely another 500 muslims that wish to destroy America
of course it all depends if they actually can...which most can't, since they can't afford the materials and travel expenses to become suicide bombers themselves.
Sure they can parade around pieces of cardboard calling for the destruction of the U.S. and Israel and shouting obscenities, but it's not like they have the funding to act on their words. This is the reason why I call them dormant.

Petty? How is it petty when you have many on this board, if not the majority, who ignorantly think that Islamic radicalism is the creation of the United States Government? When in truth, it has existed for at least the last 150 years.

For every 1 peaceful Muslim there are 500 "IslamoFascists"?

Oh! So if a muslim is not western then they are hostile?
To be honest, the American people have many foes, Islam is the least of your worries. You should really be looking closer to home. Very close to home. In fact you may want to start any witch hunt at the Whitehouse.
It will be to a CIA workhorse posing as 'islamofacists'!
Know your enemy my friend and trust me, it is not Islam.

So, until you don't mind someone across the world assuming that you burn crosses on black people's lawns because you're white, don't assume every Muslim is out to plant IEDs and fly planes into buildings.

I have yet to see any documentation showing the majority of muslims world-wide condemning terrorist groups such as Al-Queda. Until then, I am left with the idea that they are in support of terrorism.
Not necessarily, but I would think most have anti-American sentiment.
I have nothing to fear from my government, it's unfortunate so many like to point their fingers in that direction because they know nothing of it; Islam on the other hand is responsible for the majority of terrorist acts in the world in recent times. It's documented everywhere, everyday. So to say Islam is the least of anyone's worries would simple be a fallacy.
Islam is in conflict with itself...I have never said that Islam is an enemy of America, because Islam is simply a religious ideology, and to me that means absolutely nothing. However it appears that there's a growing trend among many of its followers.. indicating that they are in support of terrorist groups.
and you also said this:

Why not just say:
Theofascist?
Then modify the term with the religion of your choice as the prefix.
Christian Theofascist
Islamic Theofascist
etc...
Nobody gets their own word, or label.
Everyone is represented fairly in their fascism.

2: a zealous person; especially : a fanatical partisan

I was getting there..LOL
My point, and yours too, seems to be, that we've already got it covered.
So the word, is not needed. It was invented for propaganda purposes only.
How about Tele-fascists..you know, the news media...can we keep that one?
I promise I'll take care of it, and feed it every day.

That explains plenty....nothing unusual when it comes to the liberal bandwagon -always blame America.
