David Myatt

I am doing some research at the moment into the relationship between Muslim extremism and the far Right.

A few years ago a guy called David Myatt announced to the world that he was converting to the muslim faith. Up to that point he had a strong involvement with various neo-nazi political groups. It made quite an impact in the UK press at the time, but since then I have heard nothing. The only information from independent sources that I can find is this:

and this:

Please help out if you can find anything else on this.

visit the Wikipedia and you will find planty information about David Wulstan Myatt, (born 1950), also known as Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt, is a British Muslim and former neo-Nazi, and the author of numerous pamphlets and articles advocating Islamism, neo-Nazism and what he calls "The Numinous Way of Folk Culture." He was the first leader of the British National Socialist Movement (NSM),[1][2] and was identified by The Observer as the "ideological heavyweight" behind Combat 18.[3]
Following his conversion to Islam in 1998,[4][5][6] Myatt became an advocate of suicide attacks,[7] expressed support for Osama bin Laden and the Taliban,[5] and referred to the Holocaust as a "hoax."[6] An April 2005 NATO workshop heard that Myatt has called on "all enemies of the Zionists to embrace the Jihad" against Jews and the United States.[8] Political scientist George Michael writes that Myatt has "arguably done more than any other theorist to develop a synthesis of the extreme right and Islam."[9]

I don't really care what he says or who he supports. What is important is if he has comitted any acts of violence or not. He hasn't. This sedition crap is beyond annoying. Soon you won't be able to talk about [it] (it being terror and terrorists), except in concealed whispers away from citizen do-gooders. The federal police of course all believe their own propaganda...that's what makes it ironically so funny.

Daniel Webster "Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

**note we here in Australia don't have an equivalent constitution of such strength...our protections are worthless as our recent crop of Attorney generals has shown in several areas*

"There's nothing that does so much harm as good intentions." -- Dr. Milton Friedman

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Dear Postie,

As Antonios mentioned all you need do is google 'David Myatt - Islam'
and you'll find quite a few websites.

That guy is a worry though. One of the sites that I looked at stated that: "In Britain, a white supremacist neo nazi whose writing inspired a 1999 Soho nail bombing that killed three people has since converted to Islam. David Myatt, a founder of the British National Socialist Movement, is now Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt. He was formerly opposed to non-white immigration into the United Kingdom, he now says that 'pure authentic Islam' of the revival, which recognises practical jihad (holy war)as a duty, is the only force that is capable of fighting and destroying the dishonour, arrogance, materialism of the West.

That is frightening. It's hard to imagine him ever changing back because he's on record as supporting the killing of those who leave Islam.

Good Luck in your further research.

Ignore this guy, he's an obsessed stalker, who has posted this identical message on at least a dozen forums in the last two weeks.

His (her?) aim is to give links to biased sites containing biased articles about David Myatt, while pretending to ask for information. It's thus just a sly attempt to spread malicious allegations about the person while hiding behind anonymity.

He makes the idiotic claim that he can "only find" the links he gives - while anyone "doing some research" would have found the Wikipedia article about Myatt which gives a fairly balanced over-view of the man and link for further research:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Myatt

Anyone "doing some research" would also have found a link to The Times article about Myatt, and so on and so on.

Anyone "doing some research" into the alleged relationship between Muslim extremism and the far Right would have found Professor George Michael's book on the subject, which mentions Myatt.

http://www.kansaspress.ku.edu/micene.html

The errors of this troll include:

(1) "he announced to the world". Wrong - Myatt kept quiet about it for nearly two years.
(2) "It made quite an impact in the UK press at the time". Wrong. It went unnoticed until two years later, after Myatt featured on BBC Panorama program about Copeland. Even then, there were only a few articles about Myatt.
(3) "since then I have heard nothing". Wrong. Like I said, he missed the full page article in The Times newspaper, and Myatt's Q&A session Sheikh Qaradawi's website, and Myatt's interesting article "From Neo-Nazi to Muslim" which has appeared on many Islamic websites, including recently one in the UK, and one in Thailand.
(4) "The only information from independent sources..." Wrong. Neither of the quotes sources are independent. One is a conspiracy site by a conspiracy nut; the other is a political organization which has been posting unsubstantiated allegations about Myatt for twenty years, and which is itself rumored to be linked to Britain's MI5 (see the Wikipedia article about this "Searchlight" group for more info).
