For the Republicans to use this word as word to denigrate the Muslims…

It is amusing that you apply a western lens to the concept of caliphate or world domination. A westerner is indeed insulted to be accused of imperialism of any sort but such is the centerpiece of Islam. You can not “denigrate” muslims by referring to a main tenet in their faith. You make the same bloody mistake all in your cursed profession make and approach Islam from a western paradigm. It is you who actually “denigrate” Islam by rendering what is sacred to them as insult.

…the fact is that if the Muslims used the phrase “kingdom of God” or the word “Heaven” to try to scare their population, that would not have worked either.

Your premise is that George attempted to scare Americans, again falling into the stupid mindset that jihad is a Bush fabrication to support an “unjustified” war, ignoring the plethora of evidence attesting to the Islamic quest for world domination.

they stopped using the word right after I published my article.

No wonder you make such a splendid sycophant - your arrogance matches that of our would-be conquerers.

Like I mentioned, there are no modern caliphates.

You continue to fail to recognize that it islam’s sole purpose to re-establish a world caliphate and the obtuse cowardice that you and your ilk exhibit will, no doubt, greatly help in paving the way. I’m not going to do your Googling for you son. There is far more evidence supporting my contentions than your weak apologetics.

My post stands and I seriously suggest that you examine your addiction to the pabulum of deceit that you regularly suckle.
