The exact identity of the person who coined the expression "Islamofascism" isn't crystal-clear. But the late Christopher Hitchens should be given credit for defining the term.
The most obvious points of comparison would be these: Both movements are based on a cult of murderous violence that exalts death and destruction and despises the life of the mind. ("Death to the intellect! Long live death!" as Gen. Francisco Franco's sidekick Gonzalo Queipo de Llano so pithily phrased it.) Both are hostile to modernity (except when it comes to the pursuit of weapons), and both are bitterly nostalgic for past empires and lost glories. Both are obsessed with real and imagined "humiliations" and thirsty for revenge. Both are chronically infected with the toxin of anti-Jewish paranoia (interestingly, also, with its milder cousin, anti-Freemason paranoia). Both are inclined to leader worship and to the exclusive stress on the power of one great book. Both have a strong commitment to sexual repression-especially to the repression of any sexual "deviance"-and to its counterparts the subordination of the female and contempt for the feminine. Both despise art and literature as symptoms of degeneracy and decadence; both burn books and destroy museums and treasures.

Hitchens hit the nail on the head with respect to the cultural and political parallels in the concept Islamofascism. But the thing is that even though Hitchens perspicaciously pinpointed lines of convergence between Islam and fascism, the fact remains that fascism, in the strictest sense, is a narrow and even myopic political idea which emerged in the 20th century and has since expired.

I find it nothing more than tha naturally fascist worldview of Mohammad spun islam into. The guy was just a power hungry tyrant and managed to turn religion intoa tool to support his ends. All thats changed is that they have, of late, come to realize guerrilla tactics are pretty handy and easy to employ so long as your goons are happy to die.
 
I love the hypocrisy of christians who think it is fine taking their ludicrous views around the world and bribing poor and starving people on the African continent into accepting the lies of Christianity
.
But if Muslims want to push their brand of lunacy you get this nonsense

All religion is shit

They all hate each other

And I hate all of them

Christianity is not the problem in the world. Islamic terror is the problem. Baptists didn't fly planes into the WTC and the Pentagon.

All those checkpoints at the airports around the world are not there because of crazy murdering Lutherans or Methodists. They are there because of murdering evil muslims.
 
Christians carpet bombed Baghdad causing the indiscriminate killing of huge numbers of civilians

Christians told the poor of Africa that condoms are evil resulting in the continued birth of thousands of AIDS babies

Christian priests prey on young boys and girls sexually

Let me know when you have the message and can stop buying the propaganda crap of the right

Christians didn't carpet bomb Baghdad. The US military did. The military of the United States of America defends the American citizens in the name of the USA, not in the name of Jesus.

Muslims murder each other and anyone who stands in their way in the name of Allah and Mohammed, not in the name of any nation.

Your argument is confused and sick.

Not true..
I don't hate Muslims and no other true christian would..There seems to be a new approach developing in the dialogue between Christians and Muslims. More and more, people are asking, “What Would Jesus Do?” Those asking the question, however, are not Christians, but rather,liberals and Muslims. They are trying to remind Christians that their intolerance of Islamic ideology is somehow un-Christian because, certainly, Jesus would seek peace, turn the other cheek, and love His enemies.

It is easy (and deceptive) to find “proof quotes” to support almost any pre-conceived agenda – whether it is a Christian agenda or a Muslim agenda. It is also true that the Messiah (as Jesus is called in the Quran) was a advocate of peace – not the peace of willing or unwilling surrender (Surah 3:83), but the peace that is free from worry or fear. (John 14:27) Jesus spoke kindly to people regardless of their race or their own personal sins, but that doesn’t mean he condoned their sins. He insisted that people stop their sinning and repent. (John 8:11)
With that caution in mind, let’s consider some of the hot-button issues dividing Christians and Muslims.

What would Jesus and Muhammad do regarding: Separation of Church and State, Personal Responsibility, Praying in Public, Hypocrisy and Deceit, Stoning and other punishments, Killing in the Name of God, etc. (Since Muhammad is the “good example” of Islamic practice, what he would do is represented either by texts from the Quran or the authoritative Hadith.)

The Purpose of their Missions:

Jesus: “The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life — life in all its fullness.” (John 10:10)

Muhammad: “I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me. 1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month’s journey. 2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum (washing ones face and hands with soil), therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due. 3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me. 4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection). 5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.” (Bukhari, Vol. 7, Number 331)

Power and Might:

Jesus: [When promised the world by Satan if he would bow to him,] “Go away, Satan! The Scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” (Matthew 4:10) “All those who take the sword will die by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52)


Muhammad: “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror, and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.” (Bukhari, Vol. 4, Number 220)



Separation of Church and State:

Jesus: “Pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and pay to God what belongs to God.” (Luke 20:19-26)

Muhammad: Those you serve besides Allah are nothing but names which you and your fathers have devised and for which Allah has revealed not sanction. Judgment rests only with Allah. (Surah 12:40) Allah will not let the unbelievers triumph [rule] over the faithful. (Surah 4:142)

Personal Responsibility:

Jesus: “Anyone who looks at a woman and wants to possess her is guilty of committing adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Muhammad: Prophet, enjoin your wives, your daughters, and the wives of true believers to draw their veils close around them. That is more proper, so that they may be recognized and not be molested. (Surah 33:59)

Praying in Public:

Jesus: Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from [God] in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1)

Muhammad: “Believers, when you are summoned to Friday [public] prayers hasten to the remembrance of God and cease your trading.” (Surah 62:9) [Friday was market day in Medina, so the market place was filled with shoppers. Calling the prayer at noon on Friday would maximize the visibility of the Muslims going to prayer. The Surah reveals that Muhammad was annoyed that some preferred commerce and merriment to public worship.]

Hypocrisy and Deceit:

Jesus: “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside. In the same way, on the outside you appear good to everybody, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and sin.” (Matthew 23:27)

Muhammad: Allah is the supreme plotter. (Surah 3:54) Allah is profound in his machinations. (Surah 8:30) Allah is the master of all scheming. (Surah 13:42)

Stoning and other Punishments:

Jesus: [To the woman caught in adultery] “I do not condemn you, but do not sin again.” (John 8:11) [Regarding eye-for-an-eye punishments,] “Do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you.” (Matthew 5:38 )

Muhammad: [When a woman repented from adultery, Muhammad allowed her to have her baby and wean him, and then he pronounced his judgment:] And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her [to death]. (Muslim, Book 17, Number 4206) Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed. . . In retaliation you have a safeguard for your lives; perchance you will guard yourselves against evil. (Surah 2:178 – 180)

Killing in the Name of God:

Jesus: “The time will come when anyone who kills you will think that by doing this he is serving God. People will do these things to you because they have not known either [God] or me. But I have told you this, so that when the time comes for them to do these things, you will remember what I told you.” (John 16:2-4)

Muhammad: Allah has purchased from the faithful their lives and worldly goods and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for the cause of Allah, slay and be slain. Such is the true promise which He has made them in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. [This is actually NOT true.] And who is more true to his pledge than Allah? [See “Hypocrisy and Deceit,” above.] Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. (Surah 9:111)
 
Yes it is a shame that the bible is not only a pack of lies but contradictory ones too

Funny how with all this love going around Muslims like stoning women to death for being raped and Christians hate homosexuals, are misogynistic etc

In fact the US claims to be a Christian country yet it is the world's biggest producer of hard core porn, the most war mongering nation on earth and the most obsessed with money, appearance and indulgence.

All religion is shit

I can't answer for all christians, but the USA is the most giving country on earth and I agree with you on the porn issue..it seems funny that when a man and a women are in a hotel room but only one of them is getting paid its called prostitution,,,Now when they are in a room and both are getting paid its called capitalism..LOL

ps..I don't hate homosexuals..
 
And when it does give aid it demands that US aid teams deliver the aid completely undermining the existing aid work in the country in question
