Whether or not the bulk of the anti-fascist christians were socialist or communist is really immaterial here. Socialism and even communism are not inherently draconian. They are often made Draconian because of their adherent's common response to human nature. Fascism was closely bound to racism and other innately oppressive philosophies. And it was precisely because of these philosophies that the christians, whatever their politics, significantly pressed against it. The Christians were not responsible for the existence of fascism. Yes, some attempted to exploit it, the catholics most notably; but none of them created it because of religious edict. Additionally, fascism actually ended because of the sacrifices of other christians, many of whom were motivated and influenced by christian belief. This sort of offense is just not taking place in islam, certainly not nearly to the degree it took place in europe. The islamics are impacting the world and there are no large scale musterings of muslims threatening to attack and stop them. Indeed, we see the muslims literally cheering the assaults wherever they exist.
