Islamofascism

an oxymoron used to demonize and stereotype militant Islamists and, for some people, all Muslims. Journalist Eric Margolis states that "there is nothing in any part of the Muslim World that resembles the corporate fascist states of Western history. In fact, clan and tribal-based traditional Islamic society, with its fragmented power structures, local loyalties, and consensus decision-making, is about as far as possible from western industrial state fascism. The Muslim World is replete with brutal dictatorships, feudal monarchies, and corrupt military-run states, but none of these regimes, however deplorable, fits the standard definition of fascism. Most, in fact, are America's allies."
