NB, I request verification of all other senses, and will start a new section for that at the bottom of this page. — Beobach972 04:37, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

The sense defined as "(pejorative) Islamic fanaticism, fundamentalist or fundamentalism". What does that have to with fascism politically, and what reputable sources, if any, have used it this way? (I'd question the other senses too, as SOP, but that's another matter.) Equinox 16:22, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

We're descriptivist; our quotations don't have to be from "reputable sources". If we ignore our entry's failure to distinguish "fascist" from "fascism", it otherwise seems to be accurate; the American Right Wing really does use these terms this way. (At least, I think so. The Right Wing might only use "Islamofascist". google news:"Islamic fascist" gets two hits at the moment, and both are potentially ambiguous.) —RuakhTALK 19:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
It has nothing to do with facsist or fascism. It is used by the U.S. "Right" because it is a dirty word, which doesn't need to be understood, it is just intended as a slur. (Although is especially effective as a deflection of noting that the present administration of the "Right" does have fascist characteristics.) Many (perhaps most) pejoratives are not literal. But I haven't heard or seen this form, just "Islamofascist". Robert Ullmann 03:00, 26 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
75 Books' hits [1], mostly contributive, AFAICT ambiguous about whether the speaker meant our sense 2, 3 or 4. I wonder if senses 3 and 4 might be merged, but the greatest fault I found about sense 4 is that it defines fascist (a person I believe) as fanaticism and fundamentalism - only fundamentalist doesn't seem out of place there IMO, the others should be at Islamic fascism, if anywhere (269 Books' hits [2]). And finally - it shouldn't have too much to do with real fascism, like our sense 1 does, for that would just be asking for deletion as a SoP, wouldn't it? --Duncan 09:06, 26 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

RFV-failed. I have struck the header above, and deleted the tagged sense. — Beobach972 04:28, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply


User:msh210[edit]

Hello msh, may i inquire why you are removing cited information "quote", which provided the verification requested in the +tag? WritersCramp 14:06, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

It was probably because you formatted it incorrectly. You should read Wiktionary:Quotations first. —Stephen (Talk) 15:30, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, it was terribly formatted. I also reverted the removal of the rfv tag, which may not be done until the RFV is closed.​—msh210 (talk) 16:47, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and if you ahve a question for me in the future, ask me on my talkpage. I wasn't following this page, and just happened to come across it. I may well not have.​—msh210 (talk) 16:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

One sense of this word was already found to be unattested outside of one quotation; I request verification of both other senses, but particularly the adjective. (The noun is the sum of its parts.) — Beobach972 04:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Can the "adjective" be shown to be an adjective and can all the features of the wordy definition be attested? DCDuring TALK 06:05, 15 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Can the term be attested at all, with any meaning (coherent across three citations) other than the SoP "adherent of both fascism and Islamism"? — Beobach 08:11, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Not seeing it. Lots of cites for a non-SOP noun, not much else. - [The]DaveRoss 22:19, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Also, at least one cite for "intensely Islamic fascist", ie, supporting SoPitude. DCDuring TALK 01:28, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Adjective RFV failed, removed. Noun moved to RFD: a bunch of citations have been added, but they just drive home the SOPitude. —RuakhTALK 01:48, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

RFD 2[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


Sum of parts as currently defined. A number of citations really back up the sum-of-partsiness, by speaking of other types of fascists in the same breath. In the past the entry has had various non-SOP definitions, or at least less-SOP definitions, but they've all failed RFV. —RuakhTALK 01:48, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to keep it, but it's used in such a range of ways it would be very difficult to explain. And I think they ways it's used roughly correspond to the different ways that fascist is used. Reluctant delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Just realized we have Islamic fascism. Keep and reword the definition to link to Islamic fascism (a proponent of Islamic fascism). Mglovesfun (talk) 15:00, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Though hard for me to justify. It just 'feels' like an idiom, but I can't back it up with 'evidence'. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:39, 12 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

DELETE. Are we going to let Fox News rewrite the English language? There is absolutely nothing that the entry informs readers of which is not already explicit in Sum of Parts. Rick Santorum doesn't know Jack about either Islam or fascism. The former is a revealed religion of the Abrahamic tradition which has a long martial tradition which in its current phase is engaged in tenaciously opposing Western powers and one might find them mean or scary or reprehensible - but that is not "fascism". The latter is a phenomenon of a mass party, a single charismatic dictator; idolatry of the State; State ownership of the means of production. Islam rejects idolatry of State and dictator; it has the umma but no mass party; nor does it entail fascist corporativist ownership of the means of production. Furthermore, the futurist-vitalist element of fascism contradicts the absolute idealism of Islam. The Holy Qu'ran is a pre-existing transcendent, much like the "Word" in John 1:1. As such, it is Absolute. Mussolini took the exact opposite view:"From the fact that all ideologies are of equal value, we Fascists conclude that we have the right to create our own ideology."

Just because Rick Santorum likes to string two words together, that does not make them idiomatic, but even if it "feels" idiomatic - seriously, this is not a flame, at all- or even becomes idiomatic due to Fox New$ et al, it would still be Sum of Parts. It's just name calling.

I genuinely have no idea what this means. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:31, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
In my opinion, keep Islamofascist, but delete Islamic fascist as SOP. — Robin 03:01, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
