Anders Behring Breivik

‘Breivik’s mentors’ in European Parliament

There was a strange gathering in the European Parliament on 9 July, in a meeting that was unadvertised, listed simply as “Non Inscrit meeting”. It claimed to be about human rights and free speech, but was populated by hard line Islamaphobes, some of whom were singled out for praise by Anders Breivik.

The meeting echoed with the unreality of Breivik’s beliefs. While Europe suffers under the financial crisis, the speakers had an entirely different view; that Islam and sharia law was the biggest danger the continent faces.

ANDERS BREIVIK'S SPIDER WEB OF HATE

Anders Breivik's manifesto reveals a subculture of nationalistic and Islamophobic websites that link the European and American far right in a paranoid alliance against Islam and is also rooted in some democratically elected parties. The Guardian has analysed the webpages he links to, and the pages that these in turn link to, in order to expose a spider web of hatred based around three "counter-jihad" sites, two run by American rightwingers, and one by an eccentric Norwegian.
