“According to reports in Der Spiegel, authorities have found a YouTube channel on which a man thought to be Sascha warns of the threat posed by Muslims, whom he accused of trying to impose Islamic law on the country, as well as left-wing activists and anti-fascists.”

You see the Washington Post’s implication: that to warn of “the threat posed by Muslims, whom he accused of trying to impose Islamic law on the country,” is a neo-Nazi thing.

“As unusual as the Sascha case may sound, it isn’t without precedent. Extremists going from one extreme to the other is ‘not that uncommon,’ says Seamus Hughes, deputy director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University. ‘There are some overlaps in terms of groups both sides hate so [there is] an easier transition from one extreme to the other,’ Hughes added.”

Going from being a neo-Nazi to an Islamic jihadi is not, in reality, “going from one extreme to the other.” Both are violent. Both are authoritarian. Both hate Jews. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, lived in Berlin during World War II and made pro-Nazi broadcasts in Arabic to Muslim countries, using Qur’anic anti-Semitism to sell Nazism. “There are some overlaps” indeed.
