By any normal definition of fascism (a) creates dangerous enemies, (b) enables great corporate power, (c) promotes fierce nationalism, (d) suppresses differing views, (e) creates extraordinary police powers, (f) funds the extensive use of propaganda. Wait a minute. That's the Bush administration to a T.
What do we have:
Bush administration, yes on a, b, c, d, e, and f.
Your avg Islamic terrorist group, yes on a f, no on b, no on c, incapable of d, impossible to do e.
What the heck? All I can think is that it's part of trying to call Al Qaeda as big a threat as Hitler. In fighting Hitler, taxes were raised, gasoline was rationed, we created the greatest air, sea and and land based military the world had ever known. launched a Manhattan project, and we did it in less time than we've been in Iraq. A young George HW Bush lied about his age to get in the fight.
Today, tax increases are anathema (but not borrowing $2 Billion a day from China), gasoline is practically subsidized, the military has been ground down and the Bush twins haven't done so much as to send the troops cookies.
Exactly how stupid do they think we are? This is NOTHING like WWII.
Here's a really interesting take on the issue from an American Muslim's point of view.

HMMM...After reading your points, thehn the linked article, I believe there are people who are both Muslim ( at least in name) and Fascists. And...they are not nice people. And, I suppose they pose a threat to the U.S. And they hurt their own people.
If our goal was to wipe out Islamofascism, maybe we could do a Harry Truman on the house of Saud, and Make Solar cells from the resultant glazed silicon. Oh yeah, and grab any oil under the silicon we might find as a sort of liberator's fee.
