Peace Be Unto Those Who Follow Right Guidance.
I have just been reading Yaqub Zaki's interesting and insightful article, "Factors in the Decline of Islamic Power" which is available at the Global Vision 2000 website.
In the article, Zaki states the following:
Insofar as I could claim to be a historian at all it is to the Spenglerian school that I would recognise myself as belonging.
Later in the same article, Zaki cites the work of (Francis Parker)Yockey, whose contribution has, according to him, been
to bring Spengler up to date .. in that magisterial work Imperium.
Note the use of the adjective 'magisterial' in reference to Imperium, a book published by the White Supremacist (Racist) Noontide Press. (Noontide have also published the important work, Lincoln's Negro Policy.)
According to the Zionist ADL, Yockey's book argues for a race-based, totalitarian path for the preservation of Western culture.
Notwithstanding my opposition to Zionism - itself a hybrid Jewish/White Supremacist ideology - it is possible that the ADL is, in fact, correct in its assessment of Imperium. This would mean that Yockey's work is Racist (White Supremacist) in nature which, in turn, means that Zaki is expressing support for a White Supremacist (Racist). (It is worth noting in passing that Zaki argues for the existence of a number of highly questionable parallels between Spenglerian and Qur'anic thought with respect to the rise and fall of nations.)
It is also interesting to note that the White Supremacist (Racist) journal, The Occidental Quarterly carried an article on Yockey entitled "The Tragic Life of a Spenglerian Visionary", which provides additional, though circumstantial, evidence in support of the thesis that Yockey was a White Supremacist (Racist). (We have to be careful here because appropriation of the thought of an individual by a White Supremacist (Racist) does not entail that the appropriated thought is White Supremacist (Racist) in nature; merely, that it can be utilised for purposes of establishing, maintaining, exapnding, and/or refining the practice of White Supremacy (Racism).)
IMHO, the jury is still out on Yockey - and, more importantly, on Zaki - since I have not yet read Spengler's Decline of The West (although I have critiques of this work by Muslim scholars and intellectuals), nor have I read Yockey's Imperium.
God/Allah (swt) tells us in Surah Al-Hujurat to guard against suspicion because in much suspicion there is crime (49:12). However, as I have argued elsewhere in a commentary on this ayat (sign/message), this does not preclude suspicion per se, which means that some suspicion is acceptable, perhaps even necessary.
Under contemporary conditions of White Supremacy (Racism), it is necessary for every Muslim and person of conscience, whatever their colour or hue (white or non-white), to be suspicious of the 'questionable' affiliations of white Muslims who are, whether they like it or not, de facto carriers of the club-card of whiteness/white privilege.
Peace
