No. This is a fundamentelly disingenuous portrayal of Islam. (Also, the use of "brown people" makes this claim racist as well, since there are tens of millions of White Muslims, hundreds of millions of Black Muslims, and hundreds of millions of Southeast Asian Muslims.) Islam's claims about the Divine and its worship are not terribly different from Christianity, save that the particulars of what is read, what rituals are practiced, and what is professed to be believed.

However, most religions are not interchangeable and have baggage in addition to their claims about the Divine and how to worship/respect it. Islam has a political ideology that accompanies its more central religious teachings. This ideology has been targeted by Anti-Islam bigots as "Islamofascism" because of its apartheid legal discrimination between Muslims and Non-Muslims. However, even political Islam is not anywhere near as repulsive as Nazism. It does not assert a "master race" and require eugenics to create it. It does not require the death and extermination of the second class citizens. It does not require a unitary vision for society in all respects. Most Muslims in the West argue that they do not even want political Islam to be manifest and are fine with the freedom to worship as they see fit.

The United States does not want to harm the people of Iran but what it does want is a democratic government to be present in Iran that is not dominated by Islamic clergy and is not a theocracy. In addition, the United States does not Iran to manufacture any more nuclear weapons or support terrorist groups in Iraq. It wishes to have a peaceful relationship with Iran if Iran follows these demands. A war, in my opinion, is not always the right thing to use in a time of crisis. A fascist or communist might use weapons to get what he wants, but a citizen of a democracy will use talk and conversation in order to get what he desires. Iran is itself a theocracy run by Sh'ia Islamic clergy members similar to that of Vatican City (a small country that has more ruling in religious matters in Catholicism than those of politics.) In comparison to Vatican City, Iran has more ruling in religious andpolitical matters than Vatican City as millions of people are under the rule of the Iranian Theocracy. Peace in the Middle East is a vital and somewhat impossible thing to accomplish but it will take time, patience, and money to preserve institutions there valued by all of the world's democratic nations, big and small. The United States is not opposed to Islam or has any discontentment with Islam but rather wishes to remove the threat of Islamofascism that fuels the spirits of thousands of terrorists in the Middle East as well as all over the world to invoke violence on a people. Islam itself is a peaceful religion based on the Prophet Mohammad's teachings and, like all other religions, values peace and care in the world. However, it is not right for a person, a people, or whole nations themselves to be intimidated by the demands of terrorists. Religion itself is the valued institution in nearly all of the world's citizens' lives, except perhaps atheists and agnostics. Religion cannot be erased nor can it be deprived from its followers so is the latter in Iran. The Iranian people are a fair and ancient people, having originated from the Ancient Persians under Cyrus the Great following the Neo-Babylonian Empire.

Socialism is an ideology that requires that rich and powerful people to take care of poor and weak people. It is an ideology not only for white people but for all people on earth. It is not related at all to Nazism or communism. It is a matter to have a consolidated society. Per Islam religion, there were very rich people and very poor people. However, the rich people supported the poor people out of religion teachings and rules. Currently, laws should take care of this issue by applying social and medical insurance.
