Islam=Fascism??

[Fundy]

I was thinking is Islam fascist?
Here's the definition for fascism:
1often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Need a response in way explaining to someone else how Islam in not fascist.

for a start the bit about nation/race - nationalism and racism are forbidden in Islam. its okay to be proud (in a nice way) of your roots, where you're from and that - but to suggest that your tribe/race/nation/etc is better than anyone elses is haram.

there are people on the forum that can explain Islamic leadership better than me, but its not like a dictator - the Qur'an is the constitution - the leader has no right to change even a single letter of what Islam says. So he can't rule according to what he wants, but according to what Allah wants.

islam has an ameer system,in which the leader.ameer is really the servant of the people ..please read about how hadhrat umar r.a. would go to milk the goats of people when he was leader of the muslims..just 1 instance amongst many

todays muslims are very weak and misguided hence you may/will find muslims who have no idea how to lead or run even the smallest of organisations..let alone countries

islam is a beautiful way of life with the shariah law

muslims have all the diseases that being human brings

no muslim is an angel

read about islam
dont read muslims
