Horowitz's escapist fantasies about a "good" Islam, enabled by Spencer by Lawrence Auster

How Orwellian must a person be to organize and endlessly trumpet an entire "Awareness Week" concerning a phenomenon--Islamo-fascism--that doesn't exist? Yet this is the current passion of David Horowitz over at FrontPage Magazine, and it's finally being officially launched today after weeks of breathless build-up. Oone day last week, no fewer than four of the six lead items on FP's main page had the Orwellian phrase "Islamo-fascism" in their titles. However, unlike dimmer neocon lights such as Frank Gaffney, Horowitz is unable entirely to conceal from himself the problematic nature of the term "Islamo-fascism," and so he attempts to justify it:

They [the "Islamo-fascists"] believe in their superiority and deny basic human dignities to those whom they regard as "infidels." Their goal is to establish a theocratic totalitarian state that will control every aspect of an individual's existence in accordance with the regime's interpretation of Islamic law. This is a fascist agenda and creed.
