[PEN-L:1176] Re: Re: Real Islam or not, etc?






		C. Wojtek,


	I think you are on the right track although I would say that Islamic
fundamentalism as such is not the problem.  Clearly there are people who are
wholly devoted to Islam who would not engage in fascistic behavior.  I do
think that Islam has become the totalizing philosophy of fascistic movements.
This makes sense in that nationalism (what we think of as the typical
totalizing philosophy of fascism) is not quite so relevant in places where
national identity has been undermined by colonialism.




	peace
