Freezerbox Magazine - The New Dream Team: White Power and Radical Islam

Imagine if White Power and radical Islam formed an unholy alliance to end all unholy alliances? Among those who believe they already have is Lorenzo Vidino of Steven Emerson's terror-busting Investigative Project. In his new book, Al Qaeda in Europe: The New Battleground of International Jihad, he writes, "Several members of European fascist and Nazi organizations expressed their support for the 9/11 attacks." According to Vidino, they're beguiled by Al Qaeda's discipline, field prowess, and heartfelt hatred of Jews. In fact, "there have been reports of contacts between their groups and radical Islamic organizations." Meanwhile, in America, not only hasn't White Power reached out to radical Muslims, it's jealous of them. Shortly after 9/11, James Ridgeway of the Village Voice recorded a Michigan Nazi Party chairman's complaint that a "bunch of towel head/sand niggers put our great White Movement to SHAME." Still, we wondered, are they destined to intermingle at some point? The man who currently occupies the throne of US White Power throne, Kevin Strom of National Vanguard, failed to respond to our inquiry. However, the man who put US White Power on the map, White Aryan Resistance (WAR) founder Tom Metzger, was ready and willing to hold forth. With his no-holds-barred style that contributed to both his rise and fall, Metzger remains an articulate spokesman in a coherence-challenged movement.
