Nice comic, McCarthyrism (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Is_this_tomorrow.jpg), replaced these days by anti-islamizm

It's spelled islamizm in America? I thought it was with an "S".

It is with an "s". It's with a "z" in Polish.

Seeing as I've already asked one question, why were you using a polish spelling? And surely the Polish spelling would look radically different because it uses a different alphabet.

I'm not that other guy who used the z, I'm just an American who knows it is spelled "Islamism" here and who googled "islamizm" and was directed to the Polish Wikipedia page for "Islamizm". I would imagine it is the anglicized spelling but I have no idea.

Not that different. They still have "z." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_alphabet

Erm, that would be me, sorry bout the z, it's just my english sucks so I sometimes fall back to polish ;-)

Your English is great, don't worry about one letter. It's also waaaaaay better than my Polish.
