Peder Are Nøstvold Jensen (born 11 June 1975) is a Norwegian blogger who writes under the pseudonym Fjordman and who has been characterized by his critics as far-right and Islamophobic.〔http://www.klassekampen.no/59146/article/item/null/fjordman-jobba-i-hebron〕 Jensen wrote anonymously as Fjordman starting in 2005, until he disclosed his identity in 2011. He has been active in the counterjihad movement, which argues that multiculturalism, particularly Muslim immigration, poses a threat to Western civilization. He has promoted this belief in a self-published book titled ''Defeating Eurabia'', and stated that "Islam and all those who practice it must be total and physically removed from the Western world". The newspaper New Europe stated that Anders Behring Breivik was inspired by Fjordman's belief in a secret Muslim plan to take over Europe, and quoted him extensively – 111 times – in his manifesto. In 2013 Fjordman was given financial support by the organization Fritt Ord to write a book "about the Anders Behring Breivik case and how I got dragged into it against my will".〔〔(Eskil Pedersen reagerer kraftig på Fjordman-pengestøtte ), VG〕 According to the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, Fjordman is "considered a 'hero' among the bloggers and debaters constituting the new far right." Fjordman describes himself as being ostracized as a "public enemy" by pundits and politicians in Norway which he "had to flee" in 2011.〔Fjordman: (''My Life as a Public Enemy'' ), Frontpage Magazine, 26 June 2013, retrieved 26 June 2013〕 Fjordman denies that he is an "extremist", and sees himself simply as having "a strong dedication to truth."〔 == Early life, education and work == Peder Jensen grew up in Ålesund, with a "Socialist Left-family".〔 His parents are well-known personalities in Ålesund; his father an arranger of music concerts with a past in the former Marxist–Leninist Socialist Youth League (m–l), and his mother a historian and writer. Jensen himself was for a short period in his youth a member of the Socialist Youth, the youth organisation of the Socialist Left Party. In 2011 he said that he was not affiliated with any political party, but that except having voted once in an election for the Labour Party, he has voted for the Progress Party. Jensen finished his conscription service at the military camp in Setermoen. Considering himself an unsatisfactory soldier, he has never again touched a weapon.〔 Before writing as Fjordman, Jensen wrote a few times in newspapers using his full name.〔 Early public writings from Jensen appear in 2000 in the national newspaper ''Dagbladet'' and the regional paper ''Sunnmørsposten'', where he criticises feminism. He also wrote comments under full name in newspapers ''Aftenposten'' and ''Verdens Gang''. Jensen went on to study Arabic at the University of Bergen and the American University in Cairo.〔 By this time he had already begun to nurture a growing skepticism towards Islamic culture, He was present in Cairo during the September 11 attacks. According to Jensen, "Western media claimed no Arabs were happy about the attacks. This is not true. Some of my neighbors celebrated the event with a spontaneous cake party, and felt what had happened was great.".〔 After returning home, Jensen began writing commentaries to Norway's leading newspapers, but claims his controversial opinions were not published by the mainstream media. After having a number of articles rejected, he eventually decided to start his own blog instead.〔 He wrote on several blogs under the pseudonym "Norwegian kafir" in the early 2000s, but eventually took the pseudonym "Fjordman" in 2005.〔 During his early post-Cairo years Jensen also worked for the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Middle East. From the start of 2002 to the summer of 2003, he worked for them as an observer in Hebron, in the West Bank, in the service of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH). The TIPH mission in Hebron, which communicates with the Israeli army, is supposed to monitor the situation in the town. Jensen, who says that he turned against Islam after 9/11, remained in this position in Hebron until mid-2003. Following this, he completed his master's degree in culture and technology from the University of Oslo. His master thesis, published in 2004, was titled ''Blogging Iran – A Case Study of Iranian English Language Weblogs'', and discussed censorship and blogging in Iran.〔 Following this, he worked at a day care centre until 2011, when his identity as the blogger Fjordman was revealed.〔〔Dagbladet, paper edition, 6 August 2011.〕 In August 2011, Norwegian professor Arnulf Hagen claimed that there was much to suggest that Jensen had a Wikipedia account which made 2000 edits.〔(Høyreekstremt angrep på Wikipedia ) , Torgny Hasås, LO-Aktuelt, FriFagbevegelse.no 26.08.2011〕 In June 2012, writing as Fjordman, he heavily criticised Wikipedia in an article entitled "''The Bias and Dishonesty of Wikipedia''" in EuropeNews.〔(Fjordman.
