CHART: Oslo Terrorist뭩 MANIFESTO Cited Many ISLAMOPHOBIC Bloggers And Pundits

:smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

" Right-wing pundits and bloggers were quick to leap to judgement that the Norwegian terror attacks were the work of al-Qaeda or an Islamic terrorist. But the news that the attacker had blond hair and blue eyes and was inspired by right-wing 밹ounterjihad� bloggers suddenly turned the tables on many of the bloggers and supposed 뱓errorism experts.�

Anders Breivik뭩 manifesto contains numerous in-text and footnoted citations to prominent Islamophobic bloggers, supposed experts on Islamic terrorism and think tanks claiming to be on the frontlines of battling Islam뭩 attacks on democracies. Individuals cited in Breivik뭩 manifesto include: Center for Security Policy몊 President Frank Gaffney; 밹ounterjihad� bloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer; Investigative Project on Terrorism뭩 Director Steven Emerson; Middle East Forum President Daniel Pipes; and controversial historian Bat Ye뭥r. Organization뭩 cited by Breivik include: the Foundation For Defense Of Democracies (FDD) and the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Also receiving mention were the Clarion Fund뭩 Islamophobic documentary 밢bsession: Radical Islam뭩 War Against the West� and right-wing Pajamas Media. Here뭩 a chart highlighting the number of references:
