Simply calling someone "extremist" isn't particularly descriptive.
While calling them "fascist" is particularly misleading. One might as
use the term "IslamoCommunist," which would be equally misleading.
Why is fascist misleading? Even if it's not precisely the same fascism as
that of Mussolini, it seems to be a pretty apt term. I know you don't like
Wikipedia but they have a number of quotes and citations that all resonate
pretty well with what al Queda seems to want.
Communist wouldn't be apt because they don't follow Marx etc.
I don't know if we have a word for what they are, exactly -- but I think
just calling them "Islamist" or "Islamic Extremists" is
counter-productive. It lumps the whole religion together, which is I think
what you're trying to avoid.
Calling them *extremists* is precisely apt. I don't see all Jews or
Christians as the same as the extremist elements within each group. The
same with Muslims.
