 The real identity of " Anton Long " remains a mystery to both members of the Order and to academics who have studied it . However , in a 1998 issue of the anti @-@ fascist magazine Searchlight it was claimed that " Anton Long " was a pseudonym of David Myatt , a prominent figure in the British Neo @-@ Nazi movement . Born in the early 1950s , Myatt had been involved in various Neo @-@ Nazi groups , initially serving as a bodyguard for Colin Jordan of the British Movement before joining the Combat 18 militia and becoming a founding member and leader of the National Socialist Movement . His text on A Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution , in which he advocated violent militancy in aid of the Neo @-@ Nazi cause , was cited as an influence on the nail bomber David Copeland . In 1998 Myatt converted to Islam and remained a practicing Muslim for eight years , in which time he encouraged violent jihad against Zionism and Israel 's Western allies .
