    Why is this fascism? Seems like good old fashioned religious intolerance and violence.

    Which, let’s be honest, tends to be best buddies with fascism…

      Actually fascism tends to be secular. The authoritarianism is derived from an extreme version of nationalism. The authoritarianism in theocracy is derived from religion. Fascism ≠ authoritarianism. There’s a lot of other authoritarian ideologies out there. Marxism is another example.
