someone said "the next world war will be fought over water" i think it will be over Religion ?
Don't know about that but here's what Einstein said,"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones"
Is the fascism you are talking about same as fascism in Italy during Mussolini regime??
Yes and no. There in fascist Italy you had a bunch of people that felt extreme national pride and chose the path of a totalitarian state to achieve national superiority by expansionism. Here national pride was taken to extremes.
The one I'm referring to is more in line with the Nazism (fascism's crazy elder brother) and that which you find in present day north Korea. Here logic concedes to reason. The motive is an ideal of national perfectionism. All in opposition (including pro-democratic voices) are branded out. We all know what that led to in Nazi Germany.
The illogical ideals of racial or national superiority resonates with that of religious superiority as is the case of religious extremists. Fascism and religious extremism are both expansionist ideas - one aims to conquer the greatest dominion in terms of territory and the other in terms of followers. They are both perfectionist when it comes to cleaning out "impurities" in terms of race, national identity or followers. They both defy logic. The underlying theme in both is "my (anything) is better than yours'. In that sense you can also draw a connection to racism.

"Here logic concedes to reason." ---> "Here logic concedes to irrationality."

someone said "the next world war will be fought over water" i think it will be over Religion ?
I think it already started since 9/11 as you can see a clear discrimination between religions. Though there are people who feels the need to be democratic but many people are treating others as their enemies on the grounds of religion. We have seen US bombarding muslim countries with bombs and also muslim countries supporting the so called jihadis who are against US(read christian in their view) domination of the world. Also Pakistan playing double game of officially supporting US to catch Bin Laden and secretly keeping him in their territorial.safety for nearly 10years. All these show that we are already in a war of religions.
For those of you who are interested, sample this: the documentary 'The World Before Her' which juxtaposes an RSS girls' camp against the Miss India beauty pageant.

How can we ever compete against mass brain-washing of this kind (and I speak for all religions!)?
