"It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have
refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the

Islamofascist?
Some people pick up any Orwellian terms the right wing think tanks dream
up, like 'death tax', 'fair tax' or 'islamofascist'.
They have no background in etymology, they just being lead by the ring
in their nose. Oh, sorry. This analogy may suggest being a majestic
bull. Actually you are a brainless lemming.
The islamo-terrorists have nothing to do with fascism, what ever way one
defines fascism. But it reveals your complete lack of understanding of
the Italian and German FASCISTS before W.W.II.
