最も明確な類似点は、死や破壊の賛美、生命の軽視などの殺人者の暴力の狂信を、両方の運動が基礎にしている事である。(「知性への死!長い生命の死!」とは、フランシスコ・フランコの仲間のGonzalo Queipo de Llano(es)の言葉である。)どちらも近代を敵視し(兵器を購入する時を除く)、どちらも過去の帝国や失われた栄光をひどく懐かしむ。どちらも真実および想像上の「屈辱」にとりつかれ、復讐を熱望する。どちらも反ユダヤの偏執症の毒素に慢性的に感染している(興味深いことに、更に反フリーメイソンの偏執症とも軽度の親戚である)。どちらも指導者崇拝や、一冊の偉大な本の力への排他的な圧力の傾向がある。どちらも性的な抑圧、特に性的なあらゆる「逸脱」の抑圧に強い誓約を持ち、配偶者は女性を従属させ、女性的なものを蔑視する。どちらも芸術や文学を退化や退廃として軽蔑し、どちらも焚書や、博物館や文化財の破壊を行う。 — Christopher Hitchens [7]
"It is right for us to be on the offense against Islamofascism, and not wait until they attack us on our soil. Unlike any war we have ever fought in this nation, this is not a war for soil. It is a war for our soul. We will either win it or we will lose it. This nation must rally to the point where we recognize there is no compromise. There is no alternative. We must win; they must lose. Islamofascism must disappear from the face of the earth, or we will." [15]— マイク・ハッカビー
"What we have to understand is ... this is not really a war against terrorism, this is not really a war against al Qaeda, this is a war against movements and ideologies that are jihadist, that are Islamofascists, that aim to destroy the Western world."[16] — クリフォード・メイ

^Sobran, Joe. “Words in Wartime”. 2006年4月18日閲覧。 "Islamofascism is nothing but an empty propaganda term. And wartime propaganda is usually, if not always, crafted to produce hysteria, the destruction of any sense of proportion. Such words, undefined and unmeasured, are used by people more interested in making us lose our heads than in keeping their own."

A propaganda organization employs propagandists who engage in propagandism—the applied creation and distribution of such forms of persuasion."
