-'''Islamic fascism''' is a type of fascism adopted by a small number of [[Muslims]] (being Islamist extremists), including [[terrorist]] groups such as [[al Qaeda]]. Its supporters are sometimes called [[Islamofascist]]s. Some regard the terms [[Islamofascist]] and [[Islamofascism]] as pejorative [[political epithets]] which exaggerate the very limited extent of support for fascism in the Muslim community. Fascism is essentially a [[right-wing]] [[authoritarian]] political movement, Islamic fascism is a combination of [[Islamic fundamentalism]] or [[Islamism]] and [[fascism]][http://humphrys.humanists.net/islamic.fascism.html].

-The term "Islamic fascism" has been adopted by journalist [[Christopher Hitchens]], and has gained wide currency elsewhere. although it is not a term used for self-identification by any group or individual.

-Another commentator Robert S. Wistrich has described Islamic fascism as adopting a totalitarian mind-set, a hatred of the West, fanatical extremism, repression of women, loathing of Jews, a firm belief in conspiracy theories, and dreams of global hegemony (of which only totalitarianism is part of fascist doctrine).
-Islamic fascism, like its pre-war European predecessors, aims to speak for the frustrated, underprivileged, and impoverished masses. They have condemned the "anonymous powers" of globalization and the West, both of which are suspected as being associated with Jews.
-Some equate Islamic fascism with groups of Islamic fundamentalists like the [[Taliban]] which governed [[Afghanistan]]. Other groups identified &ndash; by their opponents &ndash; as associated with Islamic fascism include al Qaeda, [[Hamas]], and [[Hizbullah]].
-== Islamic fascism and global supremacy groups ==
-In [[23 April]] [[2005]], [[CNN]] reported that while fascist groups such as [[Aryan Nation]] were seeking ties with Islamofascists such as [[Osama bin Laden]] for assistance in areas such as finance and organization, the FBI had found no sign of ties between the two. In an interview with CNN, [[August Kreis]] the leader of Aryan Nation praised what he called his fellow fascists in al Qaeda, saying:
-<blockquote>You say they're terrorists, I say they're freedom fighters. And I want to instill the same jihadic feeling in our peoples' heart, in the Aryan race, that they have for their father, who they call Allah. I don't believe that they were the ones that attacked us," Kreis said. "And even if they did, even if you say they did, I don't care!</blockquote>
-Kreis explained that the common cause he has with al Qaeda is that they have common enemies, namely [[Jews]] and the government of the [[United States]]. He gave a public message to [[al Qaeda]]: "The message is, the cells are out here and they are already in place, they might not be cells of Islamic people, but they are here and they are ready to fight".
-During [[World War II]], the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem had an alliance with [[Adolf Hitler]]. Following the war, many Nazis found asylum in Egypt, Syria, South America, and the United States.
-The CNN's investigative reporter Henry Schuster also explained another connection:
-<blockquote>Three years ago, I met a Swiss Islamic convert named Ahmed Huber, who began his life as a devotee of Adolf Hitler and moved on to praising former Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini, who led that nation's Islamic revolution and vigorously opposed U.S. policies.</blockquote>
-<blockquote>Huber wanted to forge a fresh alliance between Islamic radicals and neo-Nazis in Europe and the United States. And he cannot be simply dismissed as a crackpot: Huber served on the board of directors of a Swiss bank and holding company that President Bush accused of helping fund al Qaeda.</blockquote>
