If you substitute “nationalism” with Islam, the Islamists want obedience (which is what Muslim means) to Islam more than anything else. Even Steve Centani and his Olaf the Photo Guy from Fox were forced to “convert” to Islam as a means of staying alive.

2. Disdain for the importance of human rights.

Beheadings, genocide, rape of school girls, stoning women to death, killing men for not having a beard and killing people for kite flying are all hallmarks of Sharia law. Yeah, Islamists don’t give to hoots about anyone’s, Muslim or Non-Muslim’s, human rights.

3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause.

I suppose you never heard of America as referred to as the “Great Satan” and Israel as the "Little Satan"? The Islamofascists want is to destroy the United States and the west because it represents everything that is evil to Islamofascists. They don’t try to destroy Lithuania.

4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism.

The Islamic world still holds military parades and demonstrations. Iran has just bought missile firing submarines and the latest in Russian and Chinese export weapons. Musharref(sic) in Pakistan took over the government in a military coup. Can’t tell me that the Middle East isn’t obsessed with military might.

5. Rampant sexism.

One word says it all: Burhka. Women have no rights in Muslim nations. Can’t vote, can’t get an education, and can’t own property. Well, they are property. When I was in an Army school, I made friends with a Saudi Arabian soldier. He invited me to have lunch at his house with him and his family. When my daughter and I arrived at his house, my daughter went off to a back room to hang out and eat with his wife while the husband and I ate in the front room. Uday and Qusay kidnapped and raped 11 and 12 year old girls for weeks at a time. When they were done, they released the girls where the parents promptly “honor” killed the girls for disgracing their family. Honor Killings even happen in the United States. Fact: Muslim nations practice rampant sexism

6. A controlled mass media.

Al-Jazeera and Al Aribya do not practice “fair and balanced” journalism. State-controlled media is the norm in Islamic nations.

7. Obsession with national security.

Our allies, the Pakistanis, recently executed 3 for being “American Spies” for the CIA. Saddam Hussein had four and five levels of secret police. Every Muslim nation has a secret police force to oppress their people.

8. Religion and ruling elite tied together.

The mullahs in Iran control everything, including Mahmoud Iwannajihad, or whatever his name is.

9. Power of corporations protected.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia owns every red cent we send them for oil. Dubai Ports International was denied the contract to manage the 6 east coast ports because, [Shock!] it was owned by Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem of Dubai. When the definition of “corporations” is broadened to include state-owned corporations, the Muslims are batting 1.000.

10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated.

Ever hear of a labor strike in Damascus or Tehran? Me neither.  Might have something to do with that state run media in those countries.

11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts.

The Taliban destroyed priceless and ancient works of art just because they weren’t “Muslim”. Those Buddha in Afghanistan can never be replaced, but that didn’t stop the Taliban from destroying them anyway. That is just the largest and most egregious example. It was also the Iraqis, not any Americans, that looted their own art works from the Mesopotamian period for sale on international markets. America has been trying to recover those works for the last 3 years.

12. Obsession with crime and punishment.

Stoning for adultery, cutting off of hands for thievery, beheadings for drug use and smuggling. Hard time in a Muslim world is the time between sentencing and your execution.

13. Rampant cronyism and corruption.

Saddam’s sons, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law all had posts in his government. Basher Assad was a dentist with the distinction of having Hafez Assad as his father before he came to power. Corruption is the norm in the Muslim world. One of the main reasons why it took so long to get the Iraqi police retrained was because our trainers had to go back to the fundamentals with classes like: Why Graft is Bad 101, Who You Really Work For: lectures on not working for Militias.

14. Fraudulent elections.

Saddam was the only name on the Ballot. Mahmoud Iwannajihad was elected despite rampant election fraud in Iran, as seen at this link: http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/paperchase/2005/06/allegations-of-election-fraud-arise.php. Even more “enlightened nations” like Egypt have repeated instances of election fraud as evidenced by Hosni Mubarak getting elected over and over again. Actually, he is the only president Egypt has had since Sadat.

There you go.  14 Reasons why "Islamofascist" fits.  I truly believe that the Islamofascists want to create a Caliphate that will be exactly as Fascist as Nazi Germany was.  As a disclaimer, I do give as examples many present day Muslim nations.  Do I think all Muslim nations are Fascist: No.  However, most Muslim nations are definitely less free and open than the United States is.  I think that is true without question. For those of you that disagree with that, I'm sure that there are many seats still available for flights to the Middle East you could catch sometime today.
