I am willing to give this forum a try, if you are willing to have me. I'm not a major fan of the far-right personally, but I used to be when I was younger and I still believe there are some aspects of it that could potentially be valuable.
One thing I am undecided about when it comes to far-right, is it's rejection of Islam. To me Islam is not as scary as it is to some people. In fact one can make a good case for Islam being a powerful, modern throw-back to a more traditionalist society. This is why it frightens people. I've seen a lot of left-leaning people who fear Islam too, believe it or not. Moderates, too.
Rightists want to close the borders of their countries to Islam, because they are afraid it is not compatible with their culture. Is this because they think acceptance of homosexuality, widespread feminism and decaying birth rites ARE compatible with their culture? If anything, the type of cultures the right wishes to protect are dying anyway.
Islam, like other religions, is better at keeping their female members loyal to the cause. Muslim women will demand their RIGHT to wear their scarfs, their burkas. I have seen very few women who are passionate about their far-right politics. Very, very few. On sites of Stormfront, the ratio is 9 men to every 1 woman, it seems.
The right does may not be a viable movement, but it's good you think outside of the box.
