Fjordman: Academics or Agitprop Artists?

Academics or Agitprop Artists?

In late 2012, the academics Øystein Sørensen, Bernt Hagtvet and Bjørn Arne Steine, among others, published a work in Norway called Høyreekstremisme. Ideer og bevegelser i Europa (“Right-wing extremism. Ideas and Movements in Europe”) I figure prominently in this book, which in my view symbolizes the decay and intellectual dishonesty in modern academia.

Co-editors Bernt Hagtvet and Øystein Sørensen, both of them professors at the University of Oslo, suggest that my ideology is anti-democratic and dangerous and will lead to oppressive and authoritarian societies. It is unclear how this could be the case, since I want to move power away from unelected supranational organizations such as the EU, and back to the people, and reduce state interference in the lives of individual citizens. I must be the first alleged “Fascist” in history who wants less state power over the lives of individual citizens.

The chapter written by Vidar Enebakk on “Fjordman’s radicalization” is particularly incompetent and ridiculously politicized. For example, he refers totally uncritically to the report “Fear, Inc. The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America” from 2011, which was published by the left-wing organization The Center for American Progress, with several Muslim collaborators.

This report was clearly intended to smear people in North America and other Western countries who oppose Islamization and sharia law in any significant way. It also tied Breivik’s terror attacks directly to the emergence of so-called “organized Islamophobia.”

Yet Enebakk claims without a single critical remark on page 63 that the authors of this report mapped and identified “a small network of experts on disinformation, who have largely defined the anti-Muslim hate rhetoric in the USA in the wake of September 11th 2001.”

Knowledgeable individuals such as the Harvard-educated Daniel Pipes are dismissed without further evidence or explanation as “experts on disinformation,” while the words of those who warn against the dangers of Islamic global expansionism and Jihadist aggression are smeared unfairly with the label “hate rhetoric.” If anything, they are warning against hate.

  1. Tusen takk for speaking truth to leftist-Islamist power, Fjordman.

    Maybe some of the misguided Quistlings attacking you desire to become ‘kapos’ in their envisioned future hateful caliphate tyranny. Their brand of ‘science’ dictates that God, souls, and morality do not exist. The good news is, the Bible says they are wrong.

    God bless, and keep up the good work.

  2. Marx hated Islam.

    Many of Marxens Apologists – so also Hitler – admired Islam.

    Which is what brings such admiration forward for the time where the small liars do not see behind the fassade of the bigger liars ?

    Its simple to answer: Both are monstrous murder cults and the less intense murder willing souls admire the souls which even wish to die when murdering for their belief system. So Socialists see UP to Islam.

    Hitler did so …….

    Why they wish to push Fjordman into a “right wing side” is also very simple to answer? From the view of leading Socialists the “people” are the ones who have to be led by such – they see them as the “equal (leaders) among equals”.
    They built a class above the classless …….
    It has been so in ANY SOCIALIST SYSTEM !

    Anyone who wishes to empower people on a basic democracy is in truth seen by such as their enemy – because this would end their power.

    The “final frontier of lies” is reached, when such name basic democrates, Facists, the term which only fits on such self betrayers themselves.
