The bandying around of the term "islamofascism" by editorial writers, columnists, letter writers, politicians and pundits mainly of the neo(lithic)con and right-wing persuasion shows once again that they will not let evidence or facts get in the way of a perjoritive.

Fascism arose from the confluence of politicians wanting more power and capitalism ever eager for more profit and an ever more subdued workforce. Islamist describes well enough the small number of Sunni Muslims, mainly Wahabi-Salafi, who want to control the populations in their own countries and wreak havoc on those that oppose them, be they Muslims whether Sunni, Shia, who they regard as heretics and infidels as they are wont to call anyone not Muslim. As such there can be no confluence in the Islamic world. Islamists rule no country and certainly are not capitalists.

The closest might be the Wahabi-Salafi and the House of Saud division of “church and state,” But they of course are the “Good Guys”

Currently Fascism better describes the confluence, in various countries around the world, of groups of politicians and their own military industrial complexes that regularly piss in each others pockets, at the public expense. Why else would politicians who are always stressing their financial and fiduciary bone fides vote for amazing infantile projects like "SDI", new nuclear strike capacity, stupidly oversized tanks, fighter jets of enormous cost and questionable benefit and other such boondoggles, to use a great American expression.
