Muslims and Nazis

MUSLIMS AND NAZIS - YOU JUST CAN'T SEPARATE THEM From a racist church in Illinois to a neo-Nazi Web site to a Muslim weekly newspaper in New York, domestic white supremacist and Islamic extremist groups have been finding common cause since September 11 in anti-Jewish invective, hate-group monitors are warning. Organizations that track hate groups are debating the degree to whichthe shared anti- Jewish views of Islamic extremists and neo-Nazi groups indicate organizational collusion or just rhetorical affinities. Yet they agreethat the invective has grown increasingly worrisome since the September terrorist attacks and note that law enforcement officials have been investigating possible ties. "They're making common cause," said Mark Potok, a spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that tracks hate groups. "That's a different thing than to say they're working hand inglove, shoulder to shoulder."
