Why is fascism used to describe terrorists in the term Islamo-Fascism (by the retard)?

Question

when fascism is just "a philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social and economic control, a strong, centralized government usually headed by a dictator, and often a policy of belligerent nationalism." ( taken from The American Heritage Dictionary).

While Terrorrism is just a tactic not a governmental philosophy.

Answer 1

Because Bush doesn't understand the term, but knows that people will react to it emotionally.

Besides, I prefer the Princeton dictionary definition: "a right-wing political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government (as opposed to democracy or liberalism)".

Answer 2

Islam and Fascism are words that don't have something to do with race. So, it would not make experience to call it racist. there are a number of fascist regimes that are in keeping with Islamic regulation. Iran is a suitable occasion. it is likewise ignorant to think of all islamic unquestionably everyone seems to be an identical race. There are Sunni, Shi'a, Kurds, Arabs, and Persians to call some. while you're so in touch approximately minority rights, you need to learn situations in Iran and different Islamic regimes. noticeably how they manage women and peoples of alternative faiths. added information: Uhhh...Racism has not something to do with race? whilst replaced into the final time you picked up a dictionary? Homo Sapien is our species, not our race. Race is what differentiates human beings in our species.

I agree that the word use was not qualified as a proper use of the english language. As a prime diplomatic figure in the world you would expect more responsiblity in how the language of a matter would be discussed in front of 300 million of its own citizens not to mention the couple billion other people throughout the rest of the world. Never trust a C- student to run the country, it leads to red pen being used everytime he speaks.

Answer 4

that's why not all terrorists are called "fascists." But the term is accurately used when referring to certain varieties of Islamic terror because the Al Qaeda variety of terror group is working towards creating a religious dictatorship in the shape of the restored Muslim Caliphate. Such a regime would be fascistic in nature, conservative, authoritarian, and hierarchical.

Answer 5

That was the first time I had heard them say that. I would assume it is a method used to demonize the enemy. Demonizing the enemy tends to work when you eventually want to go to war.
