There is another difference, which is what makes Islam more dangerous than either Nazism or Communism. Islam is a death cult, whereas the other two were "life" cults, especially Communism, which -- because of its secular materialism -- could not be other than a life cult. You can bargain and negotiate with Nazis and Communists and find some sort of modus vivendi which could, at least theoretically, lead to a softening "around the edges" of the totalitarianism.
Neither Nazis nor Communists, except in extremis were partial to suicide attacks. For Moslems, on the other hand, it does not appear to be a last desparate resort, but rather a tactical device of first instance. Consequently, while one could reason with a nuclear-bomb-wielding Commissar (who has no afterlife to anticipate), it is impossible to reason with a similarly armed Ayahtollah because the threat of mutual assured destruction holds no fear for him and, in a Jihadic sense, is his key to Paradise.
This is why the only effective tactical reply to militant Islam is extermination.
