Your fixation with the history of WW2 is idiotic.

I think I said quite specifically that I'm not talking about Islam in
general, just some movements within it. Your attempt to create
strawmen is noted and treated with the disdain it deserves. And, yes,
you should read a bit regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. You may learn
something.

There are several - no many - 'movements' and lumping tham all together as 'Islamic/Islamist terrorists' is
hugely misleading.

The history of WW2 has nothing useful to offer in the current context. In fact it's wholly misleading to use it as
any kind of template.
