well- yes- I do think of Naziism as a culture.
And some cultures have military organization

You might want to read up on the difference between islam as a religion (common western misperception) and islam as a culture

RE: Your link regarding Islam misconceptions

Islam is a breath mint.
No, it's a candy mint.
It's two mints in one!

...Islam is the name of a way of life which the Creator wants us to follow. We avoid the word religion because in many non-Islamic societies, there is a separation of "religion and state." This separation is not recognized at all in Islam: the Creator is very much concerned with all that we do, including the political, social, economic, and other aspects of our society. Hence, Islam is a complete way of life...
Hence, Allah forbid any conflicts between Islamic law and our Constitution, eh?
