Fascism is a 20th century development of late modernity. Like communism, feminism, and homosexualism, it presupposes that there is no such thing as human nature, and that mankind is clay to be worked by an elite, transformed into a new creature shaped by the will, by reason, by the intellect.
Islam is completely the opposite. Islam presupposes an invariant human nature, created by Allah and unchanged (and unchangeable) since Allah's terminal revelation in the 7th century.
The two could not be more different.

That's just a lot of nonsense.
Facism does NOT presuppose that there "is no such thing as human nature". Where the hell do you get such a ridiculous notion.
And I ain't an Islamic scholar, but I doubt that Islam presupposes " an invariant human nature".
And regardless of all that, the 2 end up looking like a duck, walking like a duck and quacking like a pair of ducks.
But maybe we can agree that they are opposites - like about 360 degrees.

The two could not be more different. Another BTW. I'm pretty sure that both facists and Islamists will kill you if you openly speak against their dogma.
