How is this different from ISIS/Al Quada, they target the west for its perceived domination of the Middle East and support of Israel. None of this is religious per say, fourty years ago these guys grandfathers were doing pretty much the same things in the name of Leon Trotsky and the PLO
The leaders of both the nazis and Isis used common themes in their peoples culture to unleash the elemental xenophobic violence in all humans but without that history of anti semitism from the church there wouldn't have been that dog whistle for the Germans, in the U.S. it will be race, the fear of Blacks, in the Middle East it's jihad against Isreal
I'm not disputing that both ISIS and the Nazis are fascist. I'm disputing that the Nazis are a religious organization.
Another example of how they are different is that the Nazis were accepting of members of various Christian denominations as long as they were of the proper blood line. Meanwhile ISIS accepts only one form of Islam and violently attacks other sects. Although you've stated that ISIS is motivated by hate of the West, the main targets of ISIS have been other Muslims. The Nazis would target someone who had 1/4 Jewish blood, regardless of what religion they actually practiced. ISIS doesn't care about your bloodline/ethnicity, but you'd better not be a #####e or even a different denomination of Sunni.
Even as it launches waves of terrorist attacks around the globe, the Islamic State is quietly preparing its followers for the eventual collapse of the caliphate it proclaimed with great fanfare two years ago.
In public messages and in recent actions in Syria, the group’s leaders are acknowledging the terrorist organization’s declining fortunes on the battlefield while bracing for the possibility that its remaining strongholds could fall.
Are you guys seriously wondering why the western world cares less about a Muslim country like Turkey than they do about France?

By this time it's not really a surprise since so much of it has been hinted at. A lot of ties and support to the hijackers from people tied to the Saudi Government.

Did anyone see this? A 17-year old asylum seeker in Germany attacked people on a train this morning with an axe. 4 people were injured, he didn't kill anyone but the police shot the attacker dead.
Quote:
A note found in the Afghan train attacker's room where he also kept a hand-painted ISIS flag indicates he may have been self-radicalized, a top German top security official said Tuesday.
Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann told reporters that the 17-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, who shouted "Allahu akbar" as he attacked people on a train Monday night in southern Germany, had written notes in Pashtun that indicated he may have self-radicalized.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack which was posted on the group's Aamaq news agency on Tuesday.

If he was self radicalized, how can ISIS claim responsibility for the attacks? Most of these sound like ISIS has no role, but once news comes out that a perpetrator is Muslim, ISIS pounces on the opportunity to claim responsibility.

One of ISIS's goals is to inspire people to commit attacks on their own. These are self-starters, but ISIS can claim responsibility as having spurred them on. If Trump gave a speech on Thursday saying "Kill all Black Lives Matter protestors", and his supporters went out and started actually killing them, would that not be laid at the feet of Trump? Of course it would.
The bigger issue than who deserves credit is that having self-starters being the main source of violence in the west makes it very difficult to predict when and from where an attack like this is coming.

There is an ongoing "shooting spree" happening at the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum shopping mall in the Moosach district of Munich, Germany, a police spokesperson told CNN.
Probably my favourite city in the world. I feel sick for the victims and their family. I hope that whoever did this is stopped immediately so no one else gets hurt
