Muslims Urge Bush to Avoid 'Loaded' Terms in Annual Address

"When you describe America's efforts to fight terrorism and spread
democracy worldwide in Tuesday 's address, I think it would be best to avoid
the use of hot-button terms such as 'Islamo-fascism ,' 'militant jihadism,'
'Islamic radicalism,' or 'totalitarian Islamic empire.' However, I believe the repeated rhetorical linkage of
Islam to terms of violence and extremism is counterproductive and complicates
our legitimate foreign policy initiatives. Its mission is to enhance the
understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower
American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual
understanding. Subscribers to the list receive news releases and other
materials dealing with American Muslim positions on issues of importance to
