What does radical Islam have in common with right wing extremism? Much, it turns out. From the perception of existential, apocalyptic threat to the sense of historic mission as saviors of their people, the two sides have more in common than either want to admit. Julia Ebner’s book “The Rage: The Vicious Circle of Islamist and Far Right Extremism” shows why each side exists in a world of obsession with the other; and proposes how to mitigate the pull of extremism that preys on the young.

Complete BS.
Complaining that both the anti muslim right and the islamists are the same because “they hate each other” is like equating the Allies and the Nazis in WW2.
You clearly have no knowledge of the history of islam, i.e., that it is has ALWAYS been an expansionist imperialist theocracy.
