{{hatnote|This article is about the European political organization. For the U.S. political movement, please see [[New Right (United States)]], and for the Danish political party Nye Borgerlige, see {{wpl|The New Right (Denmark)}}}}

'''New Right''' is a [[European]] organisation that identifies itself as "strongly opposed to [[liberalism]], [[democracy]] and [[egalitarianism]]" and claims to "fight to restore the [[Traditional values|eternal values and principles]] that have become submerged beneath the corrosive tsunami of the modern world." Launched in 2005 by [[Troy Southgate]] and Jonothon Boulter,<ref><capture>http://web.archive.org/web/20110719024503/http://www.new-right.org/?p=14</capture></ref> its website is currently defunct.

The group appears to be an unlikely mixture of European ethnic [[nationalist]]s and [[Islamic extremist]]s. Its ninth [[London]] meeting, held in 2007, saw Dr Sahib Bleher of the [[Islamic Party of Britain]] deliver a speech entitled "Islam: Outdated Oriental Religion or Visionary Ideology of the Future?" followed half an hour later by a speech from Wulf Ingesunnu of [[Woden's Folk]],<ref name=aryan>[http://aryanfuturism.blogspot.com/2007/01/new-right-ninth-london-meeting.html Aryan Futurism] on Blogspot</ref> an [[English]] [[Asatru]] group that opposes "multi-racialism."<ref>http://www.wodensfolk.org.uk/resistance.html</ref> An odd couple indeed.

Other people involved with the group include the late [[Jonathan Bowden]], who was at one point chairman;<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20110725184319/http://www.jonathanbowden.co.uk/interview.html</ref> Michele Renouf,<ref name=aryan/> a former beauty queen accused by some of being a [[Holocaust denial|Holocaust denier]];<ref>http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/the-lady-denied/2006/02/21/1140284032806.html</ref> [[David Irving]];<ref>[http://www.new-right.org/?p=988 New Right.org], page 988</ref> Kenyon Gibson,<ref>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rose-Noire/message/2385</ref> a [[9/11 conspiracy theories|9/11 truther]];<ref>http://www.rense.com/general47/zion.htm</ref> Linda Miller, who reportedly delivered a speech at a New Right meeting calling for Europeans to convert to [[Islam]];<ref>[http://abritishmaninlondon.blogspot.com/2011/04/32rd-new-right-saturday-9th-april-2011.html A British Man In London] on Blogspot</ref> Abir Taha, who has been described by an admirer as advocating "esoteric Hitlerism";<ref>[http://abritishmaninlondon.blogspot.com/2011/02/31st-meeting-of-new-right.html A British Man In London] on Blogspot</ref> and Soren Renner,<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JRKvETaw4M</ref> who has delivered a speech on [[Hitler]]'s birthday in which he griped about "the liberal project, the [[Jewish]] project, the [[one world government|one world]] project" in front of a big painting of der Führer.<ref>http://youtu.be/hlm5Pd54sEw?t=7m17s</ref>

This combination of Islamists and possible [[Nazi]] sympathisers may seem an odd place to find [[gay rights]] activism. Still, one of the chaps involved with New Right was the late Alisdair Clarke,<ref>http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/alisdair_clarke/</ref> who wrote a blog post calling for an organised homosexual boycott of [[halal]] and [[kosher]] outlets because "All three intolerant, monotheistic [[Abrahamic religions]] are alien and deserve the same fate in Europe… we are opposed to the alien [[homophobia]] that they are bringing to our shores."<ref>[http://aryanfuturism.blogspot.com/2007/01/boycott-halal-kosher-outlets.html Aryan Futurism] on Blogspot</ref>

A movement in [[France]] with a similar ideology, also called New Right (''Nouvelle Droite'' in French), was founded in the late 1970s by Alain de Benoist.{{cn}}
