This article is a list of pejorative political slogans. 

== Islamofascism ==

Some people think that the term "Islamofascism" is used as a one-word slogan implying that Islam or Islamic culture has much in common with Fascism. But this is not correct. The term ''Islamofascists'' refers solely to those who claim to be Muslims but are considered by their opponents as [[fascism|fascists]] with Islamic background. Nevertheless several Muslims find the term insulting, as it suggests a link between Islam and Fascism.

The term is especially applied to Muslim groups (like [[GIA]], [[Hamas]], [[Abu Sayaf]], [[Al Qaida]], [[Palestinian Islamic Jihad|Islamic Jihad]], [[Hezbollah]]) that promote [[theocracy]] and oppose [[democracy]], in distinction to Muslims who see no contradiction between Islam and Western-style modernism.

==Wowser==

A New Zealand term, almost obselete.  Originally it meant an Abolitionist, alcohol not slavery.  It also came to mean a killjoy, someone whose opposition to alcohol extended to all social jollity.
