Thomas... that's why I always use the term "fanatic, extremist, radical, fundamentalist" to differentiate from other Muslims who do not subscribe to these beliefs. Yes... it is fascism, but that has political overtones that propagandistic... (but in many ways accurate).. But fundamentalism is accurate here as well... just as I don't want to see the Falwell's or Robertson's of the US telling us we have to turn the US into a theocracy, Islam is considered a complete political, economic, and spiritual way of life, thus even more dangerous (Jesus didn't try to dictate the economics of his society)... But maybe calling it fascist would suffice in bringing many muslims to our cause, which is really THEIR cause... Because we're fighting against a belief system that is incredibly oppressive. A system that cannot, and will not, coexist with western values. A system that, rather than fighting a war of ideals (Islam vs Westernism), based upon societal appeal, has reached the point of desperation where they are willing to rely upon violence. Obviously, they just haven't taken the time to reflect upon WHY their system is so economically bankrupt, and their people so destitute, and whether A REAL GOD, would have left them in such wretched conditions against the Infidels.
