Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

His point is that Islam is a religion (nothing to do with nationality or ethnicity) whereas fascism is a political philosophy that exalts nationality and/or ethnicity.

You can't have a religion which is independent of nationality and ethnicity promoting a particular nationality and ethnicity. It don't make sense.

Perhaps a better phrase is "Muslims that fail to recognize a separation between church and state". That's one problem in much of the ME - they haven't gone through that recognition yet. Any government law which appears to contradict Sharia results in someone calling for Jihad....
