Peder Are Nøstvold Jensen (born 11 June 1975) is a Norwegian far-right[1][2] counter-jihad[3][4] blogger who writes under the pseudonym Fjordman.[5][6] Jensen wrote anonymously as Fjordman starting in 2005, until he disclosed his identity in 2011. He has been active in the counter-jihad movement, which argues that multiculturalism, particularly Muslim mass immigration, poses an existential threat to Western civilization. He has promoted this belief in a self-published book titled Defeating Eurabia,[7][8] and stated that "Islam, and all those who practice it, must be totally and physically removed from the entire Western world".[9]
Anders Behring Breivik, a neo-Nazi, exploited[10] Fjordman's belief in the Eurabia conspiracy theory, a supposed secret Muslim plan to take over Europe, and quoted him extensively – 111 times – in his manifesto.[11][12] Fjordman condemned Breivik following his attacks.[13] In 2013 Fjordman was given financial support by the organization Fritt Ord to write a book about the Anders Behring Breivik case.[14]
According to the Norwegian state broadcaster NRK, Fjordman is "considered a 'hero' among the bloggers and debaters constituting the new far right."[15] He has however been described as comparatively considerably more dystopian and pessimistic than others in the movement for his predictions of coming civil wars across Europe.[16] He is mainly associated with the blog Gates of Vienna.[3]
