Can you name three similarities between Islam and fascism?
Can you name any?

1. Totalitarian/authoritarian
2. Religious supremacy
3. Racism and/or anti-semitism
4. Fanaticism
5. Cultural supremacy
6. Dogmatic
7. Reactionary/revolutionary
8. Intolerance of any other political/cultural/religious belief

Probably lots more, but the missus is calling me to dinner. ;)

Fascism is a 20th century development of late modernity. Like communism, feminism, and homosexualism, it presupposes that there is no such thing as human nature, and that mankind is clay to be worked by an elite, transformed into a new creature shaped by the will, by reason, by the intellect.

Islam is completely the opposite. Islam presupposes an invariant human nature, created by Allah and unchanged (and unchangeable) since Allah's terminal revelation in the 7th century.

The two could not be more different.
