As s.p. attri rightly stated:
"Islam, as an ideology ( mis-construed as a religion ) is an expression of man's aggressive behavior."

I can follow up by saying, that nazism, as a religion (mis-contrued as an ideology) is an expression of man's aggressive behavior.
In many details one can see the overwhelming similarities between the two ideologies. If you read political analyst Michael A. Ledeen's "Accomplice to Evil" about fascism in the 20th. century and today, you see details on the verbal level (hate-speech, vulgar analogues, scatological utterances), and postures in outer behavior. Add to this terror, torture, and the one-eyed outlook. All this and much more comprise fascism in all its vulgar garment.
