The Big Lie About 'Islamic Fascism Part II.

As starter of that topic I object to it's being locked. NO one was off topic and I going to post a reply to Don:

Quote:

Well Ken, using your definition the Arabs could very well be Fascists.

I disagree. Just being racist doesn't make you a fascist.

By the numbers:
They don't fall under #1. I don't see very much use of national flags, parades, or emblems in Arab counties. The Arabs are very much balkinized. Not much National unity there.

#2 Fits. Most of those countries DO violate human rights.

#3 Debatable. Many feel that there claims are legitimate. Israel is on land that is claimed by the Arabs for centuries and vis a vis. I would say Israel is a real not an imagined threat to Arab lands. And Arabs are a real threat to Israel. Please show me the Iraqis that flew into the WTC or the Pentagon? I see mostly Saudis. So why the heck aren't we bombing S.A. into the stone age?

#4 I'll give that one to you.

#5 Ditto.

#6 al jazeera is some ways qualifies but they also complain about Western Media influence in the area. (this one gets a mixed rating for the US as well. The neocons have FOX news but they also have CNN. But in my opinion that is just one group of fascists (the Clinton gang) vs another group of fascists (the Bush boys). So this is the weakest link on both sides.

#7 I don't really see that from Arabs. They don't really have spy networks or secret police.

#8 Obvious though I remind you that Iraq was considered by Iraqis a SECULAR country and several different religious factions have been fighting over it for years.

#9 What corporations? Hamas or Hezbollah has control of a corporation?

#10 I honestly don't know what Hamas' or Hezbollah's opinion of trade unions are. Most Arab counties do have trade guilds so I say this one fails it.

#11 Plenty of Arabs come to america to be educated. Lack of money and resources doesn't equal surpression per se. There will be some censorship so I might give you 1/4 of this one.

#12 Yes and no. They have Harsh laws but most are well known.

#13 Depends on the country but for the most part true.

#14 Does ANYONE not have fraudulent elections.

OK so what does this leave us. Most of the conditions above are met by the Arabs with one notable exception. The economic ones. What was my complaint in the beginning.

Being a ruthless dictator does NOT make you a fascist. Which is why both Hitler and Stalin fail this test.

Hitler crushed the trade unions but wasn't as controlling of the corporations as Mussolini was and Stalin was obviously the ultimate union guy.

You will note that racism isn't one the listed ideas either. Mussolini was not concerned about race or religious belief. Only the state. Hitler was greatly concerned with both. As are many Arabs but not all.

Also if you don't think Arabs are fascists then why DID you make this remark. Which remark did you lie about and why?
