The Soviet Union really was an EVIL empire. That was self evident. Al-qaeda et al. are not fascist in the traditional 1930s sense. The "islamo" part is true. The are Muslims, plain and simple, and they are simply exercising the teachings of their faith to the fullest. What Neocons call "islamofascism" is nothing more than orthodox islam.
As for "homicide bombers", that is a redundant statement. Was Billy the Kid a "homicide shooter" or OJ a "homicide stabber". Suicide bomber is the preferred term when the bomber intends to blow himself up along with his victims.
"Islamototalitarian" doesn't roll off the tongue as well. The term "fascism" has become more commonly used as a synonym for totalitarianism, not simply Mussolini's particular system of governance.

Billy the Kid was a murderer, as was OJ. So are people who blow themselves up in the hopes of getting 72 virgins to rape.
The use of the term "suicide bomber" emphasizes the death of the bomber, not the death of those he/she kills. It focuses on the one death (the only one who deserved to die) while ignoring the others who died.

Oh don't be obtuse about semantics. The Soviet Union was not fascist in the "traditional 1930's sense" either. If it is not self-evident to you that Al-Qaeda is evil, you are probably a liberal-minded person that thinks 9/11 happened because not enough baby Arabs are breast-fed long enough.
