Mapping Norwegian Killer Anders Breivik’s Web Postings

The British newspaper The Guardian has done a remarkable service by examining the online trail of bigotry left by Anders Breivik, the white nationalist who murdered 77 innocents in two different killings sprees in Norway last July.

They provide links to Beivik’s 1500-page manifesto as well as to those pages that the killer himself linked to. This web page spider web weaves together European Far-Right groups, American Islamophobic “counter-Jihad” sites, as well as more mainstream sources.

According to Andrew Brown, the journalist for The Guardian who wrote the introduction to the visualization, “Anders Breivik’s manifesto reveals a subculture of nationalistic and Islamophobic websites that link the European and American far right in a paranoid alliance against Islam and is also rooted in some democratically elected parties.”
