"From Russia With Hate
Inspired by the example of al-Qaeda, Russian neo-Nazis say they are organizing themselves into a network of autonomous terror cells — and that the time of their jihad has come (snip)"
"Al-Qaeda: a model for neo-Nazis?
The string of terror attacks around the world orchestrated by al-Qaeda has raised fears among German police that the nation's neo-Nazi movement might trying to learn from the tactics used by Osama bin Laden's network of loosely connected cells. Ernest Gill asks: are neo-Nazis adopting a new strategy of violence? (snip)"
While it may not get much air time in US media, for a fact many European countries are starting to develop a significant presence of "Nationalist" political parties/organizations.

"The local elections of May 2002 saw the best ever vote for the neo-Nazi British National Party.
As well as winning three council seats in Burnley they came close to winning over ten more: in Burnley, Oldham, Stoke and other parts of the country.
At the same time, figures released by the police showed a 10% rise in racist attacks in the last year, including an increase of 13% in the number of racist assaults and woundings reported to the police.
Far-right gains across Europe . . .
Votes for far-right parties have increased in France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and other countries across Europe.
The neo-Nazi Vlaams Blok (Flemish Bloc) in Belgium won 9.9% of the vote in national elections in 1999 and became the largest political force on Anwerp Council in 2000.
Far-right parties have been in government coalitions in Austria since February 2000 and Italy since 2001. In April 2002 the Front National got through to the second round of the French presidential election with 17% of the vote - their highest ever - in the first round of elections."
From what I can find, it appears that they all share a common thread of "europe for europeans", and are all strongly against immigration ... of Muslims in particular. While the use of terrorism/violence by an extreme faction to advance a political/economic cause has been highly successful for Islamic Extremists, it would now appear that the "opposition" has begun to adopt the same successful tactics.
