There is here in Berlin a well known Sunni researcher on one of the universities that just released in German a book on the Salafi and Takfiri direction of Islam where he used the word to sum it up--Islamic fascism and the dirt hit the fan and he is under death threats and police protection.

But if one takes the definition of fascism he might not be so wrong.
