Racial Holy War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the band, see RaHoWa (band)
RAcial HOly WAr (RAHOWA) is the belief that white people should unite and undertake a holy war against Jews and non-whites. Specifically, the idea is that pure Aryans will marshal other whites against the "mud races," who will be led by the Jews. The concept was first put forward by Ben Klassen, founder of the Church of the Creator (later renamed the World Church of the Creator and after a lawsuit over its namesake, the Creativity Movement). Since the group's inception, the term "racial holy war" has gained some popularity within racist terminology, but has not seen wide use outside white supremacist groups.
There was also RAHOWA, a band produced by Resistance Records, a white power record label which was primarily used as a recruiting mechanism for Matthew F. Hale's incarnation of the WCOTC (Creativity). George Burdi was the founder of the band which was based out of Ontario, Canada. The band eventually split up after Burdi was arrested for charges of assault of an Anti-Racist Action member. He spent 4 months in prison and then left the racist movement, later marrying an East Indian woman and forming a band called Novacosm.
