How Islamaphobic Bloggers in the US Contributed to the Nightmare in Norway

In this interview on The Take Away, Wajahat Ali talks about Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian charged with mass murder, claimed to be saving Norway from Muslim domination. Breivik, an anti-Muslim extremist, was heavily influenced by American bloggers. As Bill Hing previously reported, Breivek also opposed Norway’ss immigration policies. Ali is a journalist who is currently researching Islamophobia in America for the Center for American Progress.

Here is a snippet from thr interview:

” He was ideologically inspired, I think we can safely say that, by the what I would call the hateful anti-Muslim writings and opinions of several notorious American Islamaphobes whom he cites many, many times over again in the memo who have a history of working together to profit off of the creation and promotion of misinformation, fear and bigotry against Muslims.”
