| book description |

Only about a century old, fascismâ€”bogeyman of ideologiesâ€”has been both over- and under-attributed to various political phenomena. While the baseline cases of Hitlerâ€™s Germany and Mussoliniâ€™s Italy are generally agreed upon, once these two forces were defeated, it was nigh impossible to believe that such a compulsion would ever return in a more enlightened futureâ€”let alone be ushered in by the children of those who defeated the fascist regimes. Today, card-carrying fascist forces grab ever more political power across the US and Europe, even in the European Parliament itself, and around the globe. Yet, while thereâ€™s a reason for Godwinâ€™s Lawâ€”the longer an online conversation continues, the more likely someone is to invoke Hitler and the Nazisâ€”we must find ways to discern the fascist wheat from the garden-variety nationalist chaff. This issue looks at todayâ€™s tidal wave, and asks how to ensure that such forces are not allowed to tear the world asunder once more. About Critical Muslim: A quarterly publication of ideas and issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. Each edition centers on a discrete theme, and contributions include reportage, academic analysis, cultural commentary, photography, poetry, and book reviews.
