THEY DON’T CALL THEM “ISLAMO-FASCISTS” FOR NOTHING, YOU KNOW:
They are unlikely allies, but right-wing extremists and Islamic militants share a hatred for Israel and the United States that has drawn the attention of German authorities.
Since 2001, when Islamic extremists and neo-Nazis cheered the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S., the two camps have echoed one another’s abhorrence of what they view as a world controlled by Jews and enforced by Washington’s military power. There are no links suggesting that right-wing and Islamic groups are collaborating on terrorism-related strategies, but law enforcement officials are concerned over the growing, and sometimes surreal, attraction between the two.
It reminds me of those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercials: “Hey, you got anti-Americanism in my anti-Semitism!” “Oh, yeah? Well, you got anti-Semitism in my Anti-Americanism!” “Hmm. . . it’s pretty good though!”
