TVNZ wrote:A leaked email outlines attempts to create a European-only "protected community" in North Canterbury.

Former National Front leader and skinhead Kyle Chapman wrote the email to the National Alliance - a far-Right group - and the email was leaked on to the internet.

The email begins with "Hello Patriots" and calls for donations to help build a "Nationalist Land Base".

The first base would be set up in North Canterbury, Chapman's email said.

"With an ever decreasing European population we face the real risk of having no power in our Nation," he said.

"We must act to build a unified mini state that we could build up in future to be a base for other like minded Europeans to come to from other dying countries."

But if we are to believe Kyle Chapman, he has turned his back on his past.

Love has changed him forever.

He got married in the Morman Temple in Hamilton on Friday.

His best man was a Maori, the bride a Morman who has done some mission work.

The interview, he says, is his last before he attempts to escape his past with his new bride Claire Clifford.

The pair met in Christchurch nearly four years ago when Ms Clifford was on her Mormon mission. They lost contact over the past three years and met again on the social networking website Facebook a month ago. They spent 80 hours on the phone in two weeks, decided to marry and Mr Chapman flew into the city yesterday morning.

"I'm here because I want to have a nice peaceful life with Claire. She is an example of a righteous woman," Mr Chapman said before the ceremony.

It's little wonder. The 38-year-old father of five, to four different women including one ex-wife, is a former skinhead who was addicted to alcohol and drugs.

In his younger days in Invercargill he admitted to a series of arsons between 1987 and 1992, including fire-bombing a marae.

His time in the National Front gained him plenty of media coverage and notoriety, the most memorable incident a clash on the streets of Wellington where 50 of his supporters, many skinheads, got into a bloody battle with 800 marchers from the Multicultural Aotearoa rally.

Mr Chapman said his mother was a Mormon and he had gone back to religion before meeting Ms Clifford, 31, a private health worker.

Ms Clifford said church leaders were happy with her choice of husband. "They trust me, they're really happy for me. We've (Kyle and her) prayed about it and it feels totally right.''

They were planning a family and intended serving a Mormon mission together.

Though Mr Chapman repeatedly said he had moderated and that extreme National Front policies like repatriation of Asians and Polynesians were the group's, not his, he still had strong views.

''I still have concerns that all white people don't have the same rights as some other people. But that's irrelevant if we're not finding a way of getting back to God.''

A crazy nutzi wrote:Actually, Kyle Chapman hasn't completely retired from White activism. He's merely exchanged one form of activism for another. Building a White family with a White woman is indeed a form of activism - and considering the declining White birth rate, it's a form of activism we can use much more of at this point in time. Chapman's decision is worthy of honor and respect.

A Mormon blogger wrote:...Who is better positioned than those of us who have been privileged to receive the fulness of the Gospel to take the lead in speaking out against any racial abuse, regardless of who it comes from or to whom it is directed? Any talk of "making up for past discrimination" can only perpetuate racial acrimony. This is why the Church leadership has wisely decided not to re-open old wounds by issuing a formal apology for having denied the Priesthood to blacks until 1978. Those Latter-day Saints who demand the Church make such an apology have a deficient understanding of what the late Spencer W. Kimball referred to as "The Miracle of Forgiveness". Likewise, Kyle Chapman owes no apology for his previous actions. The fact that he has repented of them and renounced them is sufficient.

But while Mr. Chapman has moderated his views, he hasn't completely abandoned them. Although he's renounced ideas such as the repatriation of Asians and Polynesians, he intends to speak out against anti-White discrimination when it occurs. "I still have concerns that all white people don't have the same rights as some other people. But that's irrelevant if we're not finding a way of getting back to God", said Chapman.

And that's not unreasonable. Who is better positioned than those of us who have been privileged to receive the fulness of the Gospel to take the lead in speaking out against any racial abuse, regardless of who it comes from or to whom it is directed? Any talk of "making up for past discrimination" can only perpetuate racial acrimony.

Likewise, Kyle Chapman owes no apology for his previous actions. The fact that he has repented of them and renounced them is sufficient.

A review of discussion on Stormfront Downunder indicates that he shouldn't have any problem with his ex-mates. Every person posting on the thread, without exception, respects his decision and wishes him well.
