Even in academia some still compare Islamism/Jihadism (not Islam as a religion) to Fascism.
Certainly 'Islamofascism' is usually just a term used by the ignorant (Islam is bad + Fascism is bad = Islam is Fascism). You see the same retarded reasoning with Leftists (Fascism is bad + Capitalism is bad = Fascism is Capitalism). People like to conflate things that they dislike.
Certainly Islam and Fascism have vastly different histories, and probably share little in common other than in-group preference and a few other things that every creed that isn't completely imbecilic like communism and liberalism all share in common.
