Home Secretary urged to ban Nazi Satanist group that vows to combat ‘Jewish influence’

The Feuerkrieg Division, which operates across North America and Europe, was a white supremacist terrorist group founded less than two years ago whose members support violent race war.

“The banning of a violent far right group is welcome,” said Hope Not Hate. “By banning the Feuerkrieg Division,  the government is sending a clear message that there is a serious threat from these extremists.

“However, the group was dissolved in January. We continue to call on the government to act against groups who are active right now, including the most dangerous far-right terror movement operating in the world today – the Satanist neo-Nazi movement the Order of Nine Angles.”

The Order of Nine Angles propagandise online on the same encrypted platforms, such as Telegram, used by jihadist groups like Islamic State, which the company has refused to take down and which the government is either powerless or unwilling to stop. 

Four people convicted of terrorism in the past 18 months were inspired by the group.

“We believe that the extent of O9A influences and activity is far greater than the police or intelligence agencies realise,” said Hope Not Hate.

The Home Secretary told the Commons on Monday she was “determined to do everything I can to stop the spread of extreme ideologies that encourage and glorify terrorism”.

Earlier this year, Sonnenkrieg Division became the second right-wing group to be proscribed in the UK, after neo-Nazi group National Action was  banned in December 2016.
