The links are real, even in the mythology these groups develop is invented. Gnostics did influence both the Nazi's and the Muslim faith and the modern new age movements. This posts shows how they are linked by a common belief system or a similar world view that allows fakery like the protocols to be embraced. That is where your ability to reason fails.

For example: Farakahn did a whole routine during the Million Man March on numerology and UFOs. Numerology and UFOs had nothing to do with his brand of Islam's origin. They are just add ons, just like the Gnostic/Muslim acceptance of the Protocols is an add on not linked to their origin but helps sell it. That it helps to sell it means it gets repeated as fact over and over, until it becomes part of their mantra.

You're changing your position, somewhat. Now you want to say that in some vague, nebulous way, these groups are linked by a common mythology--this is a claim too weak and too general to argue against, because everything can be linked to gnosticism, from the New Age movement to the original Star Wars trilogy to the Golden Dawn to early Protestantism (Bogomils, Waldenses, Anabaptists etc.) etc., etc. In which case, you don't even need to cite this article to make your case. My question then becomes, why?--instead of appearing to endorse the narrative of a white-supremist, why not simply make your case on stronger, more reasonable grounds?
