Midland Nazi turns to Islam

Feb 16 2003

By Amardeep Bassey, Sunday Mercury

A "Satanic Fuhrer" who urged neo-Nazis to fight a race war has turned 
full
circle to become an Islamic fundamentalist.

Midland-based David Myatt, 51, was the political guru behind white
supremacist group Combat 18 and has been the leading hardline Nazi
intellectual in Britain since the 1960s.

Now the self-confessed Pagan and Adolf Hitler worshipper hails al 
Qaida
leader Osama bin Laden as his inspiration and praises the World Trade
Center
attacks as acts of heroism.

Writing under various pseudo-nyms, including his Islamic name Abdul 
Aziz,
the thrice-married Physics graduate has posted messages on Islamic
religious
websites supporting suicide missions and urging young Muslims to take 
up
Jihad.

He is also believed to be the author of several anti-semitic and anti-
West
articles entitled 'The Crusader War Against Islam and The Zionist 
Quest
for
World Domination', written under the name Abdul Aziz ibn Myatt.

It is a far cry from his previous literary works which included the 
1997
fascist terrorist handbook 'The Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution'. 
The
book
inspired Brixton nail-bomber David Copeland, who is now serving six 
life
sentences.

According to anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, Myatt was also the 
Grand
Master of a secret occult sect called the Order of the Nine Angels, 
which
was
alleged to have practised human sacrifice.

[LSN:  Note that when organized Judaism is alleged to have practiced 
human
sacrifice, that is listed as "blood libel".]

But a Sunday Mercury investigation suggests that his sudden 
conversion to
Islam three years ago may be just a political ploy to advance his own
failing
anti-establishment agenda.

We discovered that Myatt uses various online identities to 
simultaneously
post supportive messages on right-wing nationalist websites, while 
calling
for
the creation of a global Islamic superstate on Islamic religious 
internet
sites.

On one site, Aryan Nation, he attempts to reconcile the differences
between
both extremes under the title Islamic Liaison Group dating his 
messages
with
his trademark yf (Year of the Fuhrer).

On another he argues that Muslims and Aryans share the same common 
enemy
in
the Jewish nation and western capitalism, supporting his diatribe 
with
claims
that more than 60,000 Muslims joined Hitler's SS in the Second World 
War.

[LSN:  True -- mostly Muslims in the Balkan states, if we recall.]

He also continues to publish newsletters for his own German Nazi-
modelled
National Socialist Movement (NSM) which counted Copeland as a branch
organiser
and advocated terrorist insurrection to spark a race war.

On Islamic internet discussion sites he likens the American attacks 
on
Afghanistan and Iraq to the Allied occupation of Hitler's Nazi 
Germany.

One Muslim internet user told the Sunday Mercury that Myatt, who has 
an IQ
of 187, had convinced other users he was an Islamic scholar with his
eloquent
arguments backed with Koranic verses.

He said: "After September 11 Abdul Aziz's messages started to become 
more
extreme.

"But because he wrote with authority, many less-knowledgeable Muslims
thought he was a holy man and began supporting his fundamentalist 
views.

"When his true identity was revealed by other users on the site, he
changed
his online name to Abdul bin Aziz and then al Haqq.

"Other e-mail addresses he used included sheikh at al-qaeda.com.

"He was a very popular and controversial figure until he was unmasked 
late
last year, after which people became much more wary about what he was
writing
and his messages dried up."

[LSN:  Note that in some forms of Islam (Wahhabi Islam for sure -- we
believe Sunni Islam is an exception to that, but are not 100% clear 
on
that),
there is no priestly hierarchy;  the imams are merely educated men 
among
the
congregation who lead the prayer service.  Therefore, he has as much
legitimacy to preach the message of Allah, as long as he does not 
stray
from
the five core Muslim teachigs, as any other Muslim or Imam.]

Gerry Gable, from anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, said: "Myatt is 
an
ethereal character who has used numerous aliases to post messages on
extremist
websites.

"He is a dangerous man who has twice been jailed for his violent
right-wing
activities and who openly asked for blood to be spilled in the quest 
for
white
Aryan domination.

"We believe that despite his claims to be a devout Muslim he remains 
a
deeply intellectual subversive and is still one of the most hardline 
Nazi
intellectuals in Britain today.

"Myatt believes in the disruption of existing societies as a prelude 
to
the
creation of a new more warrior-like Aryan society which he calls the
Galactic
Empire.

"Now he has has simply jumped on the Islamic extremist bandwagon to
further
his own wish of a society divided on ethnic lines.

"He believes they have common enemies but it is his disillusionment 
with
the ineptitude of the Nazi movement that has led to this most unholy 
of
alliances."

Michael Whine, Chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews,
added: "Myatt has a long history of involvement with Nazi activity 
and
anti-
semitism.

"The fact that he has converted to Islam and allied himself with its
extremist fringe is in line with the opportunist politics that have 
seen
him
dabble in Buddhism and Chinese Taoism in the past.

"I would advise all Muslims to have nothing to do with this man."

But one hardline Islamic group has defended Myatt and welcomed him 
with
open arms.

Sheikh Omar Bakri, leader of the extremist Al Muhajiroun 
organisation,
said: "When you become a Muslim you start afresh with a clean slate 
so it
does
not matter what views he held before.

"I am very keen to meet up with him as we both share a lot in common 
and I
am sure he can help the Islamic cause."

Myatt was last night unavailable for comment, having moved from his 
Leigh
Sinton home in Worcestershire some years ago.
