Well, here I disagree.
What is an "idea"? Do we go back to Plato for a definition? or modern philosophy?
What is a way of life? What is the difference between a way of life and a "religion"? Is National Socialism an idea, a way of life, or a religion? [Shucks - should have said - whose NS of course!]
I'd say Islam is a way of life - more than a religion, and beyond an "idea".
Myatt makes a distinction between an idea, an ideal and a way of life.
His definition of the first two:
Idea:
An idea is basically a created model for which no natural *archetype exists. Abstract ideas express a concept of what is 'common' - that is, what is not the best; what is not of excellence. An idea is the exact opposite of an *ideal. Ideals represent and express personal, or individual, character; an idea represents and abstraction which individuals are expected to conform to or be subservient to.
Ideal:
An ideal is something which enshrines what is excellent, or which represents what is the best. It is a practical embodiment of excellence itself; some thing, or some person, distinguished because that thing or that person is the best - for example, the most courageous person in a battle who is distinguished from their comrades by their brave actions.
On the individual level, idealism means individuals undertaking deeds of exceptional merit which mark them out, and doing this because they themselves strive for the excellence of an ideal or ideals.
An ideal stands directly opposed to an abstract idea. Ideals are human - that is, organic; as such they are possessed of *numinosity; they are *archetypal and thus inspiring for individuals. Ideas are abstract, and lifeless - and thus essentially in-human. National-Socialism is based upon human ideals; all modern societies are based upon lifeless abstract ideas.

Enemy in what way?
I'd say - we have only two enemies at the moment. 1 is ZOG aka the New World Order (and its ideas). 2. Ourselves - our basic lack of understanding what being Aryan (or European if your prefer) means, for which see Myatt's Complete Guide to the Aryan Way of Life. Essence of this Aryan way is honor, and reason. Honor implies being fair and, yep, tolerant, unless you're under direct attack from real enemies.
Anyways, I'd say not all non-Aryans are our enemy - what sort of world do you desire? A primative one where might is right and where people always fight for domination and always have enemies, real or perceived?
I'd say that view is not honorable, and certainly doesn't allow for our evolution as a conscious, rational species.
