Fjordman

Fjordman is an anonymous Norwegian blogger who writes about Islam and Muslim immigration and the danger that he believes it poses to Western civilization.

Political views

Debate on Islam

Fjordman has brought a pro-western, right-wing, viewpoint to the debate regarding the impact of Islam in Europe. [Matt Carr, " [http://gess.wordpress.com/2006/08/06/you-are-now-entering-eurabia You are now entering Eurabia] ", [http://www.irr.org.uk/publication/raceandclass/ Race & Class] , [http://rac.sagepub.com/content/vol48/issue1/ Vol. 48 No. 1] , July 2006, Institute of Race Relations] . His topics include Islam and democracy, multiculturalism, the European Union and Western culture. He is an outspoken proponent of Bat Yeor's Eurabia theory and wrote an essay titled "The Eurabia Code" [ [http://jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/013667.php The Eurabia Code] , September-October 2006; see also "the “Jewish threat” in the 1930s was entirely fictional, whereas the “Islamic threat” now is very real." in Fjordman, " [http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/938 Swedish Welfare State Collapses as Immigrants Wage War] ", Brussels Journal, 2006-03-28] backing it.

His oft-repeated reference to a Muslim rape wave in Sweden [ [http://fjordman.blogspot.com/2005/02/muslim-rape-epidemic-in-sweden-and.html Muslim Rape Epidemic in Sweden and Norway] , 2005-02-20] was in fact a spike in reported rapes from 2004-2005 caused by a widening of the legal definition of rape.

Race

Fjordman believes the passivity of Western governments before the influx of non-white immigrants is a "White Masochism", and states that white people should be given the right to have a "room" of their own. [ [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2007/10/age-of-white-masochism.html Age of White Masochism] ] [ [http://globalpolitician.com/articles.asp?ID=3293&print=true Global Politician - The White Race: Going Gently Into That Good Night ] ]

He thinks race is relevant to the shaping of society.

I used to believe until quite recently that skin color was irrelevant. I was brought up that way. I still don’t think ethnicity or race does or should mean everything. In fact, I would say it is patently uncivilized to claim that it means everything. But I can no longer say with a straight face that it means absolutely nothing, and if it means more than nothing, it needs to be taken into account. Whether we like this or not is immaterial. [ [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2007/10/age-of-white-masochism.html Age of White Masochism] ]

He also believes it to be of value to preserve a native majority, most likely because the native culture would perish otherwise. The viewpoint that culture and race are that closely linked is very similar to his earlier point that race determines the values of a society.

The translator used for the Swedish Expo material is a poster calling himself (?) Truumax, who seems to think that the SD is a “racist” party. I asked Truumax whether it should be considered “racism” if native Swedes resist being turned into a minority in their own country, which they will become in a few decades if current the level of immigration continues.

Bosnian Genocide

Fjordman believes the Bosnian genocide was overblown by what he calls "the establishement", and thinks the historical events preceding the Balkan wars should be taken in account, to understand what happened.

Regard in the right-wing blogosphere

Fjordman was widely regarded by blogs critical of Islam as an expert in his field.
Robert Spencer of "Jihad Watch" calls him the "great European essayist" [ [http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/013355.php Fjordman: The Eurabia Code, Part I] , Jihad Watch, September 30, 2006] and "the superb European writer" [ [http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/012204.php/ Beheading Nations - The Islamization of Europe's Cities] , Jihad Watch, July 12, 2006] . He is generally referred to as the "noted" [ [http://www.fravahr.org/spip.php?auteur121 Fjordman's page] , Fravahar] [ [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2006/06/political-correctness-revenge-of.html Political Correctness — The Revenge of Marxism] , Gates of Vienna, June 14, 2006] [ [http://www.honestthinking.org/en/ Norway Surrenders to Muslim Demands] , Honest Thinking, March 22,2007] blogger.

His articles, which are often lengthy, are widely quoted in various blogs and independent news sites, such as "Global Politician" [ [http://www.globalpolitician.com/articledes.asp?ID=2713&cid=3&sid=105 The Migration Flood ] , Fjordman article on Global Politician] , "FrontPageMag" [ [http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/authors.asp?ID=3476 List of Fjordman articles] , FrontPageMage] , "Jihad Watch" [ [http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/016112.php Fjordman: Jihad and the Collapse of the Swedish Model] , Fjordman article on Jihad Watch] , "Brussels Journal" [ [http://www.brusselsjournal.com/fjordman List of Fjordman articles] , Brussels Journal] , "Faith Freedom International" [ [http://www.faithfreedom.org/Author/Fjordman.htm List of Fjordman articles] , Faith Freedom International] , "Little Green Footballs" [ [http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=24820_Fjordman-_Native_Revolt&only Fjordman: Native Revolt] , Fjordman article on Little Green Footballs] , "Free Republic" and "Daily Pundit" [ [http://dailypundit.com/?p=25450 Fjordman: Globaloney Comes To America] , Fjordman article on Daily Pundit] among others, and quite often printed verbatim. However, he has recently stopped being linked to by Charles Johnson of "Little Green Footballs" due to his support for controversial political parties such as Vlaams Belang and the Sweden Democrats.
