The Observer has described Myatt as the "ideological heavyweight behind the ultra-violent British neo-Nazi gang Combat 18 ". [1] Following his conversion to Islam in 1998 , Myatt became an advocate of suicide attacks , which he calls "Martyrdom Operations" [2] and expressed his support for Osama bin Laden and the Taliban .

David Wulstan Myatt (born 1950), formerly known as Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt and Abdul al-Qari – is the founder of The Numinous Way, a former British Muslim , and a former National Socialist . "A British iconoclast who has lived a somewhat itinerant life and has undertaken an equally desultory intellectual quest, Myatt is emblematic of the modern syncretism of radical ideologies", and regarded as an "example of the axis between right-wing extremists and Islamists". He has been described as one of the more interesting figures on the British neo-Nazi scene since the 1970s. Before his conversion to Islam in 1998, Myatt was the first leader of the British National Socialist Movement (NSM), and was identified by the British newspaper The Observer , as the "ideological heavyweight" behind Combat 18 . At a 2003 UNESCO conference in Paris , which concerned the growth of anti-Semitism , it was stated that "David Myatt, the leading hardline Nazi intellectual in Britain since the 1960s [...] has converted to Islam, praises bin Laden and al Qaeda, calls the 9/11 attacks 'acts of heroism,' and urges the killing of Jews. Myatt, under the name Abdul Aziz Ibn Myatt supports suicide missions and urges young Muslims to take up Jihad. Observers warn that Myatt is a dangerous man..." This view of Myatt as a radical Muslim, or Jihadi , is supported by Professor Robert S. Wistrich , who writes that Myatt, when a Muslim, was a staunch advocate of "Jihad, suicide missions and killing Jews..." and also "an ardent defender of bin Laden". One of Myatt's writings justifying suicide attacks was, for several years, on the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing) section of the Hamas website. Political scientist Professor George Michael writes that Myatt has "arguably done more than any other theorist to develop a synthesis of the extreme right and Islam". Myatt came to public attention in 1999, a year after his Islamic conversion, when a pamphlet he wrote many years earlier, A Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution , described as a "detailed step-by-step guide for terrorist insurrection", was said to have inspired David Copeland , who left nailbombs in areas frequented by London's black, South Asian, and gay communities. Three people died and 129 were injured in the explosions, several of them losing limbs. It has also been suggested that Myatt's A Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution might have influenced the German National Socialist Underground . Since 2010 Myatt has written extensively about his rejection of both Islam and his extremist past, writing that: "What I [...] came to understand, via pathei-mathos, was the importance - the human necessity, the virtue - of love, and how love expresses or can express the numinous in the most sublime, the most human, way. Of how extremism (of whatever political or religious or ideological kind) places some abstraction, some ideation, some notion of duty to some ideation, before a personal love, before a knowing and an appreciation of the numinous." In addition to writing about Islam and National Socialism, Myatt has translated works by Sophocles , Sappho , Aeschylus , Homer , translated and written a commentary on the Greek text of the Poimandres section of the Corpus Hermeticum , and written several collections of poems. He has also developed a mystical philosophy which he calls both The Numinous Way and the Way of Pathei-Mathos , and invented a three-dimensional board-game, the Star Game. Some accounts give Myatt's middle name as William, such as the 1998 edition of Searchlight magazine [1] and Black Sun: Chapter "Nazi satanism and the new Aeon", Goodrick-Clarke, 2002. But, these accounts are seen as unreliable as the authors have allegedly never corresponded with Myatt. However, several authors did and confirm his middle name as Wulstan, namely Michael, George . (2006) The Enemy of My Enemy and Kaplan, Jeffrey . Additionally, there is Myatt himself (q.v. his poetry and Greek translations). Myatt originally changed his name to Abdul-Aziz (which he has penned articles under) but has been accused that he was trying to hide his identity so on the advice of an Imaam he added the ibn Myatt so people would know who he was.
