IS IT correct to find parallels between violent white supremacism and neo-Nazism on one hand  and the nihilist fury of ultra-militant Islam on the other? A Franco-American scholar   Scott Atran   is convinced that these deadly phenomena are two sides of the same coin. Unless people grasp that point   he  thinks  our ability to cope with either scourge may be limited.
Of course there are superficial resemblances which anyone can see. In August  when a fanatic drove his car into a group of liberal  anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville  Virginia   he  was copying a tactic that had already been used by self-styled warriors for Islam in at least four European countries.
But Mr Atran  who holds academic posts in Britain  France and America  sees deeper resemblances.  He  makes the point in an essay for Aeon   a forum for elaborate intellectual arguments  drawing on a series of  his  own academic investigations.
In  his  view  both kinds of fanaticism reflect both the failure of the liberal democratic order to inspire anyone to defend it  and the insidious attractiveness of ideologies which challenge that order. What makes these ideologies appealing is not their content but the strong collective identity they offer. They create peer groups that promise their own members such admiration that it can seem like sufficient reason to lay down oneâs life. By contrast  surveys suggest that very few people  these days  feel inclined to give up their lives for democracy.

The U.S. Attorneyâs Office in California said  Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Kenneth Collins   50  told an undercover agent that he would lead a team to accompany the narcotics shipment and âtake calculated steps to prevent legitimate law enforcement from intercepting the drugsâ in exchange for up to $250 000.
When asked why he charged so much   Collins  allegedly told the undercover agent  âWeâre copsâ and âall of our transports make it through.â
On Tuesday morning   Collins  and two other men arrived in Pasadena  Calif. to allegedly carry out the security task but were met with FBI agents and placed under arrest.
â Deputy Collins  sold  his  badge to assist an individual  he  thought was a drug trafficker â U.S. Attorney Nicola T. Hanna said in a statement. â The deputy  allegedly used  his  status as a law enforcement officer as a guarantee when  he  promised safe travels for large quantities of illegal narcotics. This case is part of our long-standing and ongoing commitment to root out corruption  particularly when it involves sworn law enforcement officers.â
The U.S. Attorneyâs Office said  Collins   Easter and Valencia carried out a similar security operation for an undercover agent in November. At the time  the three men allegedly helped transport what they believed was six kilograms of methamphetamine  along with marijuana and counterfeit cigarettes.
According to the affidavit  the FBI began investigating  Collins  after they suspected  him  of accepting cash payments to provide illegal security for illegal marijuana grow facilities and distributing other controlled substances.
 Collins   a 15-year veteran of the Los Angeles Sheriffâs Department  also allegedly told the undercover agent who was posing as a drug dealer he was available for other services  such as assaulting people who posed problems to the undercover agent in exchange for cash.
 Collins  and the other two men arrested Tuesday each face life in prison for federal drug trafficking conspiracy charges.
The LASD said it is cooperating with the FBI in the investigation and  Collins  has been placed on administrative leave.
