Nazis and Islamists: Bad Blood Brothers

It's always been my opinion that neo-Nazis and Islamists have a common bond: a hatred of Jews. When the people at Little Green Footballs always denounce the Counterjihad as being hijacked by neo-Nazis and racists, I always find it baffling. Don't they know neo-Nazis and Jihadists are not mortal enemies but blood brothers?

Anyway, Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna has this excellent post on the natural alliance of Nazism and Islam:

Gates of Vienna: Exchanging the Swastika for the Star and Crescent

European neo-Nazis are truly a fringe group. They are repugnant and/or a joke to the average European. They exist, but they are marginal, and will remain marginal. They are not going to take power in any European country, not even Austria.

That paragraph confirms what I already knew. Neo-Nazis, and racists in general, live on the fringe of European society, just like they live on the fringe of American society. Of course, try telling that to Little Green Footballs.

After refuting the claims of revivals of Nazism in Europe, the Baron comes to the point of the entire post:

Real Nazis almost invariably end up aligning with radical Islam. Their initial "whites only" stance eventually gives way in the face of their Jew-hatred, the all-consuming preoccupation of both the neo-Nazis and the Muslims. In Muslims they find their natural allies.

That's what I'm talking about! If you want a good example of the hostility of neo-Nazis toward the Counterjihad movement, take a look at this post also from the Baron, a look at what happened during the anti-Jihad conference in Cologne, Germany. Unfortunately, as far as Little Green Footballs was concerned, the conference was hijacked by the neo-Nazis before it began, and not the neo-Nazis who counter-protested the conference. It's enough to make me wonder (why should I bother?), how clueless can Little Green Footballs possibly be on this matter?

Hopefully, those committed to combating the threat of Jihad will resolve the differences which are clearly there and unite in Counterjihad. The enemies are the neo-Nazis and the Islamists, the current frontline is in Europe; let's push aside the sideliners, unite and fight the good fight against our enemies.
