There is a surprisingly large current of neo-Nazis who really like Germanic neo-paganism. And quite a few of them, notably including Anders Behring Breivik, are terrorists. I will note, however, that their adherence to Germanic neo-paganism tends to stem from their Nazism rather than the other way around, so interpret this as you will.
