"i do not think anything about what ustwo has been posting is adequate as an explanation for what is happening--instead it is simple recapitulation of the logic particular to these neofascist groups as if that logic explained the situation in general.
that is an outline of my position.
what i find fascinating is how easily american conserrvative ideology dovetails into what is understood as neofascist ideology in france (again becaue i know the situation there best)."
Your main objection seems to be that the French neofascists may have stumbled upon the truth about the religious and cultural nature of the conflict we now face. Look, a pig may be able to sniff out a truffle, but that doesn't make it a culinary expert. During the 1940s, German fascists supported euthanasia and abortion, as does the Dutch state today. Does that mean that the current Dutch government is fascist? Hardly. I could point to areas where the American left and Pol Pot were in agreement. That doesn't mean the American left favors genocide.
I hope you will respond with evidence of why the fight against these Islamofacists should not be viewed in terms of a clash of culture. I for one, cannot understand how it can be viewed in any other context.
