Rodinson joined the French Communist Party in 1937 for "moral reasons" but was expelled in 1958 after criticizing it. He became well known in France when he expressed sharp criticism of Israel, particularly opposing the settlement policies of the Jewish state. Some credit him with coining the term ''Islamic fascism'' (''le fascisme islamique'') in 1979, which he used to describe the Iranian Revolution. Provided by Wikipedia
