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.

It covers the street gangs, like the English Defence League (EDL), and the like-minded groups they inspire around Europe. It investigates the funders and the foundations which bankroll parts of the movement. Perhaps controversially, it also includes some commentators whose insensible stridency, combined with a degree of credibility within mainstream opinion, help feed the climate of anti-Muslim hatred. Of particular interest, it reveals some inter-connections between the different strands of this movement.

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

because they have been victims of earlier immigrant violence.
