From World(NUT)Daily: Muslims and Skinheads form unholy alliance

[Ian David]

Please keep in mind that WorldNet Daily is a whacked-out right-wing fundie rag. But, like a stopped clock, WND can be right twice a day.

Like a good Margarita, articles from WND should always be rimmed with grains of salt...

FROM JOSEPH FARAH'S G2 BULLETIN

Officials see growing terror ties between radical Islam, skinheads

WASHINGTON – Neo-Nazi skinheads are working with radical Islamists in a growing unholy alliance that has European law enforcement officials concerned about a new front in the war on terrorism, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium, online intelligence newsletter published by the founder of WND.

Sources in the UK, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Italy, Switzerland and in the Middle East are warning that the world should not be surprised to see young, white males involved in terrorism and in league with Osama bin Laden.

Just a few years ago, Muslims represented one of the biggest harassment targets of neo-Nazi skinheads in Europe. But anti-Muslim hate crimes by skinheads have seen a dramatic drop-off – even as their movement takes on more visibility and bigger numbers.

What brings the groups together is a common enemy – Jews – and business interests, say law enforcement officials. Neo-Nazi skinheads are deeply involved in drug-running and human smuggling gangs – two areas of common interest with Islamists.

Long before Katsav warned about the links between the neo-Nazis and the jihadists, Germany's minister of the interior, Otto Schily, the Muslim Hizb ut-Tahir, or Party of Liberation, which had ties with the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party. Hizb ut-Tahir, an organization with acolytes in many European countries, wants to unite the Muslim world in a single theocratic state under a caliph, or supreme Muslim leader.

1. "...world should not be surprised ...

...to see young, white males involved in terrorism and in league with Osama bin Laden."

This should make baggage checks and airport screening very interesting, to say the least.

2. I heard about this going on around 10 years ago

After the Oklahoma City bombing, there was quite a bit of discussion about it.

3. The right-wing nuts have been trying to pin Oklahoma City on Arabs

After all, the "Patriot" movement can't have a bunch of nice christian white boys blowing-up children. Must be some ay-rab behind it.

They've also tried to connect the Japanese Aum shin Rikyo cult to it, too.

I wouldn't put much credence in an Arab-Japanese connection to the Oklahoma City bombing. It's 99.999% certain to be just more right-wing trash.

the links between fascism & 'Islamism' for ages. Have a poke around http://spitfirelist.com/ftr.html for stuff. Also Kevin Coogan wrote a couple of good articles:
