In his <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.islamonline.net/English/In_Depth/ShariahAndHumanity/articles/2006-08/02.shtml" target="_blank">article</a> on fascism, Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi argues that "Fascism was a political movement that emerged in 1919 in Mussolini's Italy. It spread in Christian Europe but it was not called "Christian fascism." Hitler was a baptized Christian. He used the New Testament as an inspiration to kill the Jews. His Nazism was a fascist movement, but it was not called "Christian Nazism" or "Christian fascism."<br />
<br />
The question is: Why now is it called "Islamic fascism"? Is there fascism in Islam?
