Islamism is a fascism? (was "Herman responds")

[Grant Lee]

We can include (many) Spanish Falangists and (Ariel Sharon's buddies) the
Lebanese Phalangists here too, not to mention Father Charles Coughlin, among
others. Catholic fascism is a good comparison to some varieties of Islamism,
for several reasons; i.e. my main point was that religious fascists are
their own worst enemy, if their religious powerbase is, by its very nature,
hostile to finance capital.

I doubt whether many of the Catholic fascists, including Franco, would have
been in any way significant without the assistance of Hitler and/or
Mussolini (who was never much of a Catholic).

wasn't there some catholic fascist group in an Austrian state/province?
anyone know what it is I'm trying to recollect from the depths of my memory?
