Back to our meek corners we go!

I doubt it. I do not think muslims care very much about fascism, other than it being just one more non-Islamic things. They might not like it, but I see no obvious reason why it would offended them more than other non-Islamic ideologies.

The reason for the use of the word "fascist" is probably because our enemy of free speech wants to create some strong feelings in the target of his message (the image hosting site, Americans probably), not because the term is very offensive to him.

Edit: to clarify, some who describe themselves as muslims (and would be seen by others as apostates in denial, but we've been in that discussion before) would of course hate fascism, but probably due to having accepted some modern Western culture and values and not due to Islam-specific reasons.
