The coined English language term Islamofascism is used to liken Islamist to fascist political views.
While there are authoritarian strains of Islam and of militant Islam, there are also peaceful and democratic "political" strains that do not see an inevitable "clash" between the cultures of Muslims and say those of the G8 nations.
While the term Islamofascism may be useful to differentiate certain strains of Islamist authoritarianism from other more democratic strains, its usefulness is very limited by the tendency of its users to apply it to all Islamists or to define an equally bogus concept, "term:Islamism", as their group ideology.

But it is a mongrel mixture of theocratic fundamentalism, quasi-socialist command economies dominated by state-monopoly control of key resources (such as oil), and hereditary monarchy.
It's simply wrong to characterize this mongrel mixture in toto as "Islamofascism." Call it theocratic statism or theocratic authoritarianism or, for its more "secular" forms, monarchical-military dictatorship, but please don't call it "fascism." Not unless you mean something historically specific, as in the "guild socialist" arrangements of Benito Mussolini.

In Toilers of the Sea, one of Victor Hugo’s lesser-known novels, is a marvelous description of how to defeat an enemy that is insidious by its nature, an enemy that has served as a symbol of the banal parasitism of evil.

Rather,Cochran argues that the neoconservative project of changing the Middle East politically as a way of defusing the threat of Islamofascism is misguided because Islamofascism is not really a political movement concentrated in any one national locality or directly answerable to any of the Arab governments.
Admittedly in using fascism in this way we are moving far from the origins of the term - Mussolini originally coined the word ‘fascism’; as an allusion to the pagan Roman empire as the ‘fasces’ was a bundle of rods used as a weapon in that era.
However the use of the term in politics has since progressed beyond its original etymology to signify a form of totalitarianism and that esseentially is what Islamofascism is as envisaged by, say, Sayyid Qutb, an intellectual ancestor of Bin laden.
