Why the term Islamic or Liebral fascism?

Also called Islamo-fascism or Islamism, many on the left claim the term 'fascism" has no relation to Islam. Fascism is a term thrown around by the political left to mean anything or anyone they disappove of, simply to discredit their foes and silence debate. In a provocative new book by Jonah Goldberg entitled Liberal Fascism, Goldberg rightly goes through how both Hitler and Mussolini were both socialists. (Nazi means National Socialist German Workers' party and Mussolini was a former communist.) From Rousseau's "general will" that strips the individual of any worth compared to the "collective" to the paranoid Jacobins and their reign of terror in France, all of this was entirely secular. The idea was to rearrange the social order from the top down. See Left vs Right, Montesquieu, Corporatism

Both Nazism, socialism, and fascism trace their origins directly to the atheistic and genocidel French Revolution. Many American and western progresssives viewed both Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini with great reverance in the 20s and 30s. Notable is the famous H.G. Wells, who coined the term "liberal fascists." To quote Wells in a speech given to the Young Liberals at Oxford in 1932, "Progressives must become liberal fascists and enlightened Nazis." Wells was a major "Progressive influence."

This arose in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, in particular after WW I. This nonsense is embedded like a cancer in western academia in Europe, America, and even Israel. Traditional conservatives and liberals, the children of the American Revolution, utterly rejected this nonsense. It was imported into America from Europe.

But America wasn't the only place to import this poison. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in WW I, most of the Muslim Middle East was chopped up by various European powers. (The exception was Saudi Arabia, never really under Ottoman control.) Most of the "leftism" in various forms would be exported into the Muslim world. It would come by Arab Christians and by Muslims attending European universities. (The process still continues today.) England, France, and Nazi Germany openly exported their ideas into the Muslim world. After the failure of these secular experiments in so many parts of the Muslim world, the extremists (Baathists, Arab Nationalists, Palistinians, etc.) went over to Islam, melded many of the military and social structures they learned from Europeans into Islam. Be they Saudi Wahhabis, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hizballah, Iran, etc. they all employ terror tactics and social structures from Europe.

So Jonah Goldberg defined "fascism" as the following:

Fascism is a religion of the state. It assumes the organic unity of the body politic and longs for a national leader attuned to the will of the people. It is totalitarian in that it views everything as political and holds that any action by the state is justified to achieve the common good. It takes responsibility for all aspects of life, including our health and well being, and seeks uniformity of thought and action, whether by force or through regulation and social pressure. Everything including the economy and religion, must be aligned with the objectives. Any rival identity is part of "the problem" and therefore defined as the enemy.

Ref. Goldberg 12-21.

Modern American "liberals" are the polar opposite to classical liberals such as Jefferson, Franklin, and Washington. They are as H.G. Wells suggested, liberal fascists. While they are atheists and agnostics for the most part (rejecting traditional Judeo-Christian culture), Islam is religious. But secular fascism versus religious fascism are identical in practical terms. To secular socialists and fascists, the state is everything. It's the same in fascist' Islam where there is no separation of anything under Sharia Law. Sharia dictates everything, and Muslims also long for a Islamic international leader to control the world. Islam is the state. Liberal fascism is all for "democracy" on paper, but like Islam there is no individual freedom over the collective be it Muslim or atheist.

So this is why those from Muslim nations trying to bring true freedom and tolerance are met by deafening silence as the American (and European) left ignore their pleas for help while they scream week after week about how evil Israel and America really are. They are silent as the Kurds are murdered by Arab nationalists, while "Queers for Palestine" voices support for Hamas and Fatah while both murder homosexuals. Liberal fascists and Islamic fascists are evil twins, with similar goals, and utterly beyond reason and compromise in their goals of destroying Western culture, symbolized by Israel and America. They are uneasy allies for now, atheist and religious fanatic sharing the same goals.

Isn't Iran a "democracy? They did vote just as the Soviet Union had a vote. Didn't Hamas get elected in the Arab terrorist state of Gaza?

Modern Islamic fasicsm is anti-Semitic just as Nazism was. But modern liberal fascists are as well. In fact the origin of modern anti-Semitism is on the left.

So I submit that the term Islamic fascism is an appropriate term. I also submit that most of these leftist' Jews are not Jews in any real sense of the term. Judaism is tied up with G-d/Torah, just as an atheist has no real concept of America, tied into a belief in G-d as the American Founders saw it. (This is not the Jesus as God of Christian fundamentalists.) Both atheist' Jews and Gentiles alike seek a substitute religion, the state. See my comments at www.aish.com.
