The so-called Extremism Commission (Ekstremismekommisjonen) was appointed by the Labour-led Støre government in Norway in June 2022. They published their report in the spring of 2024.[2]
The commission, which was supported by key figures in the Norwegian Labour Party, seems to conclude that people who disagree with the Social Democrats and their immigration policy are suspected extremists and possibly potential terrorists. This is perhaps not so surprising.
The following are three quotes about alleged conspiracy theories, all of which appear on page 85 of the report:
“At the heart of the Eurabia narrative is the ongoing Islamization of Europe through immigration. The ultimate plan of the conspiracy, according to those making the claim, is to introduce Islamic law, sharia, into Europe. Western politicians, academics, journalists, business leaders, and religious leaders are alleged to be part of this secret plan. In Norway, the literature was largely carried on by Peder Are Nøstvold Jensen, who called himself Fjordman online. Fjordman was a source of inspiration for the terrorist who carried out the terrorist attack in July 2011, Anders Behring Breivik”.
“The Eurabia conspiracy narrative forms an ‘ideological backdrop’ for opinions shared by many in social media. Particularly oft-repeated claims are that Europe is being Islamized and is thus about to perish, that Islamization is taking place under the cover of political correctness and in cahoots with left-wing politicians, that Muslims are disloyal to European values and do not want to be integrated.”
On the same page, the Extremism Commission mocks the alleged “conspiracy narrative” about the Great Replacement:
“It claims that the original population of Europe is about to be replaced by non-European immigrants. According to the narrative, this can be called a kind of reverse colonization of white Europeans. The story is based on the author Renaud Camus’ book Le Grand Remplacement”.
Let’s start with the first paragraph. The author, Gisèle Littman, is better known by her pen name Bat Ye’or, which means “Daughter of the Nile”. She was born into a Jewish family in Cairo, Egypt, in 1933. She is also a calm and sensible person whom I have had the pleasure of meeting several times.
Perhaps the most controversial of her books is Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis from 2005. In this book, Bat Ye’or referred to real agreements within the so-called Euro-Arab Dialogue that are not secret. The Barcelona Process to create closer ties between Europe and the Arab world, for example, is very real. It led, among other things, to the creation of the Union for the Mediterranean, which still exists.[3] Nor has Bat Ye’or ever claimed to have invented the concept of Eurabia. This was the name of a French journal in the 1970s.[4]
So, to ridicule the obvious fact that large parts of Europe are being Islamized, this report misrepresents a book that was published 19 years earlier. This is not impressive. A commission consisting of supposedly intelligent people who are supported by a country’s government and have almost two years to do their work should do better than this.
It may be added that members of the Extremism Commission, including the former national politician Snorre Valen from the Socialist Left Party (SV), have not pointed out any factual errors in Vitne til vanvidd, my extremely well-documented Norwegian-language book on the 22 July case. In fact, the entire national press corps has not pointed out a single error in my book, despite having had the opportunity to examine it for many years.
After the authorities and the media have had over thirteen years to check everything I’ve done since I left kindergarten, I’ve still never been convicted of or even charged with committing a criminal act. A random person walking past you on the street is probably more violent and criminal than I am.
I realize, however, that this does not matter to large parts of the political Left. They have assigned me a permanent role as an all-purpose bogeyman, to be pulled out of the hat at regular intervals to scare the children.
Coincidentally, several of the commission’s members are ardent supporters of Palestinian Muslims having a nation-state yet vilify Europeans who want to preserve their nation-states.
The author Hege Storhaug points out that the ongoing Islamization of Europe is unfortunately very real:
“The western face of Europe is changing rapidly. Islam is taking over from Christianity. It’s about demographics, a political unwillingness to act, and the consequences of a long-term secularization process of our Christian societies that has paved the way for totalitarian Islam. And, yes, it is deeply politically depressing. We don’t have the political leaders we need. Nor do we have professionals here with enough clout to sound the alarm. What we do have, however, is a stupid, cowardly and uninformed Extremism Commission that further paves the way for the cultural Islamic revolution.”[5]
At this point, it is beyond absurd to claim that Islamization and population replacement are “conspiracy theories”. This is happening rapidly and openly in numerous European cities at the same time. The development is so obvious that you’d have to be an idiot not to notice it. And, frankly, even some actual idiots have discovered this trend by now.
In his famous novel 1984, George Orwell wrote about a totalitarian society where the ruling Party “told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”[6] Today’s Europe is uncomfortably similar to this. Through mass immigration, native Europeans are being displaced in our increasingly Islamized cities. But if we point out what everyone can observe, we are harassed for this by our own authorities.
It is a form of abuse to deny these problems or defame people who truthfully point them out. This is the kind of reality-denying narrative that the Extremism Commission represents.
