The views of the counter-jihad movement have been criticized as a source of support for the anti-Muslim views of individuals inspired to take violent direct action . Anders Behring Breivik , responsible for the 2011 Norway attacks , published a manifesto explaining his views which drew heavily on the work of counter-jihad bloggers such as Fjordman . Daniel Pipes argues that a “ close reading of his manifesto suggests ” that Breivik wanted to discredit and undermine the movement 's dedication to democratic change to further Breivik ’s “ dreamed-for revolution ” as the only alternative . Bruce Bawer argues that the association of criticism of Islam with violence implies that " to be opposed to jihad is , by definition , not only a bad but a downright dangerous thing . " Breivik has later identified himself as a fascist and voiced support for neo-Nazis , stating that he had exploited counter-jihad rhetoric in order to protect " ethno-nationalists " , and instead start a media drive against what he deemed " anti-nationalist counterjihad " - supporters
