I consider Islamo-fascism as more of a "logical progression" of antisemitic genocidal intent; even, perhaps, a "uniquely terrible" stage added to the previous "uniquely terrible episode." Why? The parallels between the engineering of Nazi and Arab "outbursts" of violent antisemitic activity, among other things. During 1938, Nazi officials instigated deadly outbursts of violence throughout Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. The Arabs borrowed tactics from the Nazis with regard to engineering their "intifada." The uncle-nephew connection between Haj Amin Al Husseini, the former grand mufti of Jerusalem with Nazi relationships, and Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat As Qudwa al-Husseini, also known as Yasir Arafat, explains the engineering similarities and adds to other similarities between the two fascist movements such as genocidal intent, the public declaration(s) of such, and others.
