""Islamism is fascism""
BF, Agreed. But then, so are most if not all organized "religions". "You can't say that. That's blasphemy." Peace and love, George.

But then, so are most if not all organized "religions" You can say whatever you like, George. It would be nice to back it up with some facts, but don't let that get in your way.

"Millitant Islam" is about as redundant as "Moderate Muslims".
If any Muslim denies they want Sharia, or, Islamic Law, to rule the world, they deny Islam. One cannot be a Muslim yet not desire world-wide Islamic rule. Islam does not make any distinction between religion and governance.
To: George Frm Br00klyn Park
But then, so are most if not all organized "religions". All religions and cultures are capable of turning fanatical enough to be called "fascist" if its members feel threatened enough. Germans felt that threatened in the 1930's. Moslems apparently feel that threatened today. But most cultures and religions, "organized" or not, do not, I believe, feel that threatened at the moment.
To: BenF
Hopefully the present climate is such that these spurious claims of "Islamophobia" will not only be instantly rejected, but will serve to discredit such related spurious ideas as homophobia.

It was posted here yesterday. I'm looking to see if I bookmarked it.

The Koran was not even translated into English until fairly recently. Muslims said it was because Arabic is the "holy language" as that's the language in which the Koran was given to Mohammed. That made it sacreligious or something to translate it into one of "man's languages", rather than Allah's . I'm suuuure that was the only reason why they didn't want nonarabic nonmoslems to be able to read that thing.(/sarcasm)
(Yes, I've read it...Dawood (twice) and Abdullah Yusef Ali (once).)

I looked and saw nothing for the Salon piece. Name of which is "Islamism is Facism". BenF posted the one from Commentary Magazine which is good and from D. Pipes.

You say most organized religions can be characterized as fascist.
The key to understanding any religious teaching is to read its scriptures. If you read the New Testament, the Bhagavad Gita, the Talmud, Tao Te Ching, etc. you find love, compassion, and peace. If you read the Koran you find anger, hatred, and advice to murder Christians and Jews. If you listen to Islamic sermons in the mosques you get anger, not peace and love.
Islam is not a religion in the sense that other world religions are.
