'''Islamofascism''' is a term used by some [[Western]] commentators for a group of political ideas within [[Islam]]ic culture. The term is commonly applied to groups that promote [[theocracy]] and oppose [[Westernization]] and [[capitalism]], as opposed to moderate groups that see no contradiction between Islam and Western-style modernism.  
Some writers use Islamofascism specifically to refer to [[Wahhabism]] and
similar movements in [[Sunni]] Islam, while others use it to refer to all
highly politicized strains of Islam, including [[Shiite]]
fundamentalism as practiced in [[Iran]].  The term is strongly associated
with the [[War on Terrorism]], which many [[conservative]] writers in the
[[United States]] describe as a war between [[Western]] ideals
and Islamofascism.

In polemical use, ''Islamofascism'' is often applied
to semantically connect radical Islamic groups to the [[Nazi]]s, by emphasizing common features such as [[antisemitism]] and [[totalitarianism]], while
ignoring or downplaying the differences between radical Islamic
and Nazi ideology.  Associating one's current enemies rhetorically
with hated enemies of the past is a common techique in [[propaganda]].
A similar recent example is the term [[feminazi]].

A more neutral alternative for [[Islamofascism]] is [[Islamism]].
Some writers also use
[[Muslim fundamentalism]],
popularized at the time of the [[Islamic Revolution]] in [[Iran]];
however, proponents of ''Islamism'' or ''Islamofascism'' argue that the label
''Muslim fundamentalism'' is historically and theologically inaccurate,
and invites unjustified generalizations about
all [[fundamentalist]] religious movements.
