Professor Keith's definitions
A neologism used by neo-conservatives to denigrate Islamic governments.
It ignores the fact that most Islamic fundamentalists are stateless, such as Osama bin Laden. It also ignores the reality that most forms of fascism are decidedly secular militaristic enterprises.
What is usually missed is that the largest Fascist states in the Middle East are US allies, such as Suadi Arabia and Egypt. True skeptics reject the term out of hand, arguing that there is no new Hitler. Others prefer to see Bush in the role of the neo-fascist.
