Op 22 juli 2011 Norwegian Islamophobic rechtsextremist1 founded massacred young social democrats on the island of Utoya in Oslo. There were dozens of dead and wounded. He also placed bombs at Norwegian government buildings which were also dead. The perpetrator acted out of ideological motives: he wanted to put an end to the Islamization of Norway and those he held responsible for this strike. His attack was political in character. He turned not only against a young multicultural generation and the future party framework among them, but also against the institutions of the Norwegian democracy, against the basic values of diversity and openheid.2 As far as the shooter did his deeds as loner. However, he is a member in his motives and opinions of a wider, especially virtual network dedicated to Islam / Muslims. This is evident from the sheet prepared by him and widespread manifesto with its numerous references. This is an Islamophobic ideology globally shared by many people and movements and spread, especially on new media. An important part of this (Virtual) movement not only points to the Islam / Muslims in the construction of an enemy image, but also keeps the social democracy responsible for the alleged Islamization of Europe. This ideology comes in different variants. There are extremist versions, extreme versions and moderate variants.

right-wing movement and right-wing
extremist movement in the Netherlands is
the longest running investigation by the
AIVD and its predecessors. In this publication
the AIVD presents the current state of
affairs in the Netherlands based on the
results of that investigation.
The AIVD investigation shows that the
threat of right-wing extremism and the
extreme right to the democratic legal order
in the Netherlands is minimal. The
movement is characterised by a small
following, mutual disagreement and
personal animosity, ideologically different
views and organisational fragmentation.
Nonetheless, the threat attributed to
right-wing extremism and the extreme right
is often much more significant. A gap exists
between the actual threat and the perceived
threat.

Politicians present themselves to their statements about ethnic or religious
to account for minority groups to court? Or is this
accountability to take place solely in the public debate?
This question can also be raised for cartoonists,
columnists, or comedians. This is an important social
question: where does the boundary of free speech
and start of the ban on discrimination?
That limit is not static, but depending on time, place and circumstances.
In the Netherlands plays this clash of rights expressly
in the legal prosecution of PVV leader Geert Wilders. Begin
2010 is the persecution ordered by the Amsterdam Court. De
lawsuit is of great importance for the determination of the boundary between
two fundamental rights in the Netherlands, but does not determine everything. Likewise
factor is that Netherlands to international human rights treaties
has committed and must abide by the Charter of Fundamental Rights
of the European Union.
Related to this discussion is to find and identify the
border between victim and perpetrator in incidents in which racism or discrimination
plays a role. In everyday practice shows role reversal
easily to be able to take place. Muslims have been victims
of Islamophobic violence, but radical Muslims may also be offenders
terrorist offenses. Sometimes commit extreme right youth violence,
because they have been victims of earlier immigrant violence.
In the aforementioned example of Geert Wilders this goes double
role, in particular,. When accused of inciting hatred against Muslims include
he is also a victim of threats against his person a
take many years for 24-hour security necessary.
