On Monday, we noted reports that neo-Nazi William Baker had been invited to speak at a Muslim conference in Toronto titled “Reviving the Islamic Spirit.” Today Daniel Pipes has more details on Baker’s sordid past: Canadian Islamists host a neo-Nazi.

Baker was exposed in February 2002 in the Orange County Weekly in a major investigation by Stan Brin, titled “Hour of White Power: Reverend Robert H. Schuller relies on a man with ties to Neo-Nazis to build religious understanding.” Brin established Baker’s close ties to Willis Carto, the “dean of American neo-Nazi politics,” and revealed Baker’s many other insalubrious activities, including his chairmanship in 1984 of a neo-Nazi organization called the Populist Party. Soon after, the Crystal Cathedral’s Schuller expelled Baker and cut all ties to him.

But the news has not gotten out. William W. Baker stills gets invited to – and paid by – reputable institutions. In October 2003, Campus Watch exposed Baker’s presence at an event sponsored by the Muslim Student Association at the University of Pennsylvania.
