So how can the word fundamentalist be applied both to those who refrain from using violence and those who promote the use of violence? If both Islamofascism and Islamophobia are dubious terms, what term can one use to describe those adherents of a religion who promote the use of violence as a means of spreading their religion or ideology?

There is the left, which says that everything about Islam is just wonderful and that any tiny little bad parts of Islam have nothing to do with Islam but are symptoms of Western oppression. Then there is the "right," which says that everything about Islam is just wonderful and that any tiny little bad parts of Islam have nothing to do with Islam but are caused by the modern perversion of Islam by Western totalitarian ideologies. Both left and "right" agree that Islam is just wonderful and must be welcomed en masse into the West and celebrated at the White House. The only thing they disagree about is that tiny little bad part. The left says the tiny little bad part is our fault. The "right" says the tiny little bad part is the fault of false Muslims who have hijacked Islam. But because the "right" blames the tiny little bad part on (false) Muslims rather than on America, the left hates the "right" and considers it to be bigoted and racist.

I think I was trying to coin an analogue to Judeophobia, which some have distinguished from anti-Semitism. But then, I was dealing with the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Croats were saying and writing (I mean the intellectuals - the military were doing) the most horrible things to the Bosnian Muslims. There was no question then that these people were despised because of their (Islamic) religion.

I myself prefer Islamo-Naziism which is even more accurate. But Islamo-Fascism rolls off the tongue a bit easier.

Thanx. I was surfing the Net to look for articles on FASCISM when I bumped into this great piece of article that answered a lot of my questions. I feel that Islamic fascism exists. Bangladesh under the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami (a war-criminal infested defeated pseudo-Islamic party that had opposed Bangladesh's Independence in 1971) is a clear example of perverted Islamic fascism. BNP in fact is more religious right oriented than being truly nationalists. Jamaat-e-Islami too are pseudo-Islamists. The combo is perfect for breeding of medieval era fanaticism blended with fascism in Bangladesh under state-sponsorship. What is happening in Bangladesh today under a BNP president cum self imposed caretaker chief Iajuddin is a glaring example of Islamic fascism. Everything from administration to judiciary to the police have been turned into a state controlled fascist apparatus. Extrajudicial killings and rise of Islamic fascist terrorists under their direct patronization and killing of opposition MPs have been in the rise under Khaleda Zia and Motior Rahman Nizami alliance government. This alliance was the most corrupt and fascist in nature in Bangladesh's 35 year old history. Islamic fascists are acting according to their evil blueprint designed mainly by the Jamaat lawyers and BNP's Moudud Ahmed, a shameless lawyer who had switched allegiance several times in the past. The blueprint is moving according to plan. The National Security Intelligence (NSI), Defence Forces Intelligence (DFI) and many secretive government organisations are headed by Jamaat-e-Islami militant cadres subtly promoted into the key posts over the last five years. It seems that the Islamic Fascist Gestapo has spread its tentacles in Bangladeshi politics. Even the Dean of faculty of law at the Dhaka University has been appointed by Moudud Ahmed of BNP and Abdur Razzak of Jamaat-e-Islami. This guy is hardly 40 but claims to be constitutional expert! The Islamic fascist government under the BNP-Jamaat-e-Islami alliance got a free ride under the Bush administration. I sincerely hope and pray as a true muslim that the Democratic Congress of the United States under the Honorable Speaker Nancy Pelosi immediately take measures to bludgeon the rise of Islamic Fascism in a secular and democratic Bangladesh that is guaranteed in our constitution. I am sure the US is keenly watching developments in Bangladesh. I hope the new House of Representatives and the Senate will immediately address the Bangladesh case. The Democrats must act fast or else Bangladesh will soon become a fascist islamic state like once Algeria or Afghanistan. Iajuddin and Khaleda Zia got a blank check under the Republicans and George Bush to do whatever they wanted. Ultimately, its is on the brink of becoming a failed state. Iajuddin is using BNP and Jamaat party loyalist cadres within law enforcing agencies recruited during 2001-2006 to brutalize street agitators. He is acting on instructions from the Khaleda Zia coterie of conspirators. They are following what Goebbels had practiced. Lies and damned lies will ultimately be accepted by the public as truth. The world community under the UN charter is obliged to ensure a free, fair and impartial election under a new non-fascist neytral caretaker government by extending the election period by another 90 days ASAP. For anyone interested in doing research on Islamic fascism should keenly follow the developments in Bangladesh under the puppet caretaker government directed and manipulated by the Islamic fascist Khaleda-Nizami-Tareq-Babar coterie.
