Reply #3: I don't think either of those other examples are fascist...

Atheists probably have a problem with the phrase "under God" but otherwise the pledge of allegiance is non-sectarian. Republicans have a problem with swearing allegiance to the Queen, but I have not yet met anyone who considered swearing allegiance to the Queen as having a sectarian element.

A true comparison would be having to swear allegiance to the Anglo-Saxon state of England, or the Protestant state of America. I have previously sworn allegiance to the Queen (I was required to upon my admission to the profession within which I currently work); however I would obviously refuse to swear allegiance to either of those other examples.

Of course, its worth noting that this loyalty oath only applies to non-Jews. I suspect the reason you don't find this fascist in any way has more to do with you than Strenger.

Do you think that Jews and Gypsies living in Germany should have to swear allegiance to the Teutonic and Democratic State of Germany?
