Fjordman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fjordman , real name Peder Are Nøstvold Jensen (born June 11, 1975 in Ålesund ), is a Norwegian blogger . Under his pseudonym, he wrote anti-Islamic articles in right-wing blogs from 2003 , in which he assessed the immigration of Muslims to European countries as a threat to the western world and saw civil wars developing in Europe. He gained public fame because the Norwegian right- wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik adopted texts from Fjordman on a large scale for his Manifesto 2083: A European Declaration of Independence . Jensen distanced himself after the attacks from Breivik and declared that he was a "deranged man".

Peder Are Nøstvold Jensen was born in 1975 and grew up in the coastal town of Ålesund in the province of Møre og Romsdal . His parents had met in 1973 during a squatting . Jensen joined the University of Oslo to study at the Center for Technology, Innovation and Culture (TIK) from. In his master’s thesis he dealt with the topics of censorship and blogging in Iran . He then studied Arabic at the University of Bergen and at the American University in Cairo . According to his own account, he witnessed how parts of the Egyptian population celebrated the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 . This experience shocked him and radically changed his attitude towards Islam.

Jensen did his basic military service in Setermoen in the municipality of Bardu (Northern Norway). Since then, he says he has no longer had a weapon. He described himself as "not a good soldier".

Between the beginning of 2002 and mid-2003 Jensen worked on behalf of the Norwegian Foreign Ministry as a TIPH observer in Hebron in the West Bank . He announced that he had lived in the Middle East for a few years . In 2011 Jensen worked at a center for the disabled in Oslo.

Activities as a blogger

Jensen's journalistic activity began in 2003 with a contribution to the debate on Islam for the tabloid Verdens Gang . Since he felt "censored" by the established media by his own account, he initially began to blog under the name Norwegian kafir (German: Norwegian kāfir ). Jensen ran his own blog in 2005 under the pseudonym Fjordman ; According to the website operator, this had over a million visitor hits by May 2007. He has also been writing as a guest on other blog sites such as the Brussels Journal and Gates of Vienna since 2005 . In November 2008 he self- published a compilation of his articles as a book . For years the anti-Islamic blog Politically Incorrect published Fjordman's articles in German. His articles were also frequently quoted by the operators of other politically right-wing blog sites, where he himself was referred to as an "Islamic expert".

Anders Behring Breivik , the confessed assassin of the 2011 attacks in Norway , praised Fjordman's attitudes and called him his "favorite writer". In his Manifesto 2083: A European Declaration of Independence , Breivik adopted texts from him over large passages. One of the Fjordman texts adopted by Breivik also contains a complete interview by the German journalist Henryk M. Broder . Fjordman commented on this in an email interview with Spiegel Online and distanced himself from the attacks. He also described it to the Norwegian press as "extremely unpleasant" to have been described by Breivik as an idol. Breivik had expressed the wish to meet him at the end of 2009, which he was not interested in. After the attacks, Jensen said he first turned to the Norwegian secret service to reveal his identity and was referred to the police from there. On August 4, 2011, Jensen heard her as a witness in connection with the Breivik attacks. On the same day he also publicly gave up his anonymity and declared in an interview with the newspaper Verdens Gang that he was identical to Fjordman . Jensen announced that he would no longer write under this pseudonym after the attacks and would no longer appear in public for an indefinite period of time.

Jensen started writing again in October 2011. Because of the Norwegian press laws provided for the right to reply , he managed to articles in newspapers such as Verdens Gang , Aftenposten and Dagbladet publish. In November 2011 a selection of his texts was published as a book in German translation. In January 2012 he gave an interview to the right-wing " Junge Freiheit " , in which he u. a. explains why he has decided to publish again: “What was true before Breivik will remain true after Breivik.” His next book, The Curious Civilization , will appear soon.

Political classification

Fjordman wrote about Islam , democracy , multiculturalism , the European Union and the Christian West . He is an anti-Marxist and a supporter of the theories of Gisèle Littman , who has written several anti-Islamic works under the pseudonym Bat Ye'or , in which she predicts a " Eurabia " colonized by Muslims . Fjordman shows solidarity with Islamophobic movements in other European countries, including those in Germany.

According to his own statements, he does not belong to any political party. In the Storting elections , he once voted for the Arbeiderpartiet , but later supported the Fremskrittspartiet , most recently in the parliamentary elections in 2009 . The Norwegian journalist Øyvind Strømmen ordered Fjord Mans ideology with reference to modern theories of fascism to fascism to and gives concrete its assessment on the basis of fascism term of Roger Griffin : "In short, Fjordman neatly fits the definition of, fascism '. He is a neo-fascist ideologist. "
