Threat Taxonomy: Radical Islamo-Communist Marxist Maoist Fascism
The enemy is radical Islamo-Communist Marxist Maoist fascism.
The record
Islam is a religion practiced by roughly two billion people. Islamism refers to a range of political movements that seek to organize government around Islamic law; most Muslims are not Islamists.
Socialism is a broad family of economic and political ideas centered on social ownership or control of production. Communism, in the Marxist tradition, is a specific goal and movement within that family. Marxism is a method of analysis associated with Karl Marx; Maoism is Mao Zedong's adaptation of Marxism-Leninism.
Fascism is a far-right, ultranationalist, authoritarian ideology. Historically, fascist movements defined themselves in opposition to communism, and fascist and communist states fought each other in the Second World War.
Communist states in the twentieth century generally promoted state atheism and frequently repressed religious practice, including Islam.
A single movement cannot be all of these at once. The site's escalating label is built by adding every frightening noun available, and the joke is that the category system collapses before the sentence ends.

Creator note
Category collapse is the engine of the whole site. Each new noun makes the enemy larger and the description less meaningful.
