Many of you will recognize the name Dafydd ab Hugh from smart comments around the blogosphere. He's also been a co-guest-blogger with me at Patterico's Pontifications, and he has also guest-blogged at Captain's Quarters, and he gets mentioned at Powerline all the time. Oh, and he wrote a bunch of sci-fi novels, too.

Anyway, Daf Ab has fired up his own blog now--part of a bigger site called "Big Lizards" he's been working on for ages. It looks very promising--check out his post on why he doesn't write "Islamofascism" but insists on "militant Islamism". As he uses loaded and atmospheric words for a living, he knows what he's talking about.

(As an aside, I think the good thing tactically about "Islamofascism" is that A: it's somewhat accurate; after all, the Taliban and Baathism are fascist in character and B: it illustrates the odd cleavages in Western politics. Those romantic fools who jumped at the chance to fight Franco in the last century are swanning around with their thumb up their hindquarters in this one, and apologizing for a fanatically illiberal movement and the totalitarians who foster it. )

And now I'm the only person in America without my own blog.
