Still sounds accurate to me.

Hello again, MarySusan:

So, who say's you can't be a theist AND a fascist? That fits 'em both.

MarySusan,

>>>Names mean everything!<<<

Really? Then why would somebody on this board use multiple names. We used to have a person here who used the name XXChou, XchouX and ChouXX and other variations. If names were so important, (s)he would have stuck to a single name.

Names are only important to those who give names power. Names are just sounds that identify a particular thing. As long as everyone knows what you are talking about and agrees on whatever word you use to name them, the actual name is just a convenience. In this case, we intend for the name to be descriptive of the intent of the group in question. As such, Islamo-fascist is the most accurately descriptive name to come along, and is theefore the msot convenient. But if everyone agreed on the term "rag-headed martians" as the common name for the Jihadists, I'd use that term and not have a problem with it.
