-[[category:isms]][[Islamofascism]] is a form of [[religious extremism]] in which the faith of [[Islam]] is [[puppet ideology|abusively used as a cover]] for a totalitarian ideology.[http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=081606C], especially [[fascism]].{{seed}}It is generally synonymous with '''Islamic extremism''', and has many similarities to [[Protestant fundamentalism]].
-===Categorization===
-Links and other items having to do with Islam as an abusive force should probably be moved here; the [[Islam]] page is (ultimately) for items about the religion itself, according to its own written [[scripture]] and [[doctrine]]s.
-===Terminology===
-It is not clear that there is any significant difference between Islamofascism and genuine Islamic fundamentalism, and so the latter term redirects here. Islamic [[doctrine]], when interpreted literally and "fundamentally", would seem to be essentially [[fascist]]ic in nature, in that:
-* it considers individual needs less important than unquestioning adherence
-* it seeks to promote unity of cultural and religious attributes
-Hence "Islamic fundamentalism" ''is'' essentially a form of fascism. Discussion on the validity of equating these two terms is welcome, however.

 * [[Islamofascism]] is an example of a [[puppet ideology]].
