It is the latter that has inspired Ardern’

“Islamonazi” is often a favoured pejorative, on the right especially, for jihadist Muslims. Anti-Islam activists argue that the violent intolerance of Muslim extremists is little different to that of the Nazis or Fascists. It’s not just supposedly “Islamophobic” righties, either: the late Christopher Hitchens was assaulted in Beirut
