News of the Weird: All Aboard the SS ISIS

[Paratus]

So a former NYC police officer and nazi sympathizer who would dress up as a member of the SS complete with tattoo was busted by the FBI for trying to help ISIS.

Guess he really doesn’t like Jewish people and he’s an idiot.

wow, looks like one of those non-radical non-violent rightwingers that SlowSpyder promises exists.

...wait, huge fan of Ron Paul. Not sure if that makes him libertarian more than a conservative, but I can't tell the difference between them.

at least your leader isn't trying to reintegrate ISIS with the rest of your country.

Interesting case study, but I have to take issue with this statement here:

His anti-Semitic beliefs, prosecutors argued, linked his obsession with both Islamic extremism and Nazism, bringing together two otherwise completely incompatible forms of extremism.

Nazism and Jihadism are far from "completely incompatible." Not only are both anti-semitic, both are authoritarian, both emphasize in group superiority and dominance, both are anti-liberal, both are anti-modernity, and both are quite violent in their methods. The term "Islamo-facism" is quite apt in my opinion.

Agreed.

And of course buried in the term Islamo-fascist is philosophy of religious and social conservatism opposed, at all costs, to libruuulism.

Yeah, yeah, the nasty sharias are coming just for you. Run and hide.

The term Islamo-fascism was coined by the Bushies when the term fascist was gaining currency in discussing the Bush presidency.

Agreed. Hitler found common cause with much of the Islamic world, and I doubt that has much changed. They even have similar forms of economic socialism, being far more fascist than any mainstream Western economic socialism. I'm not at all surprised that someone professing Nazi ideology also would be supporting ISIS, since they at least hate all the same ideologies and many of the same groups of people.
