[4] Sindre Bangstad, a social anthropologist at University of Oslo, described the site as a "counter-jihadist publication" in discussing how the spread of Islamophobia within right-wing political networks of Norway had birthed Breivik.
[5] Joel Busher, a sociologist at the Coventry University, found NER to be part of the broader counter-jihad ecosystem which lamented the "failings of Western liberalism" to resist the "cultural loss" of Europe in the wake of increasing Muslim immigration; it hosted content that was sympathetic to the English Defence League, a far-right, Islamophobic organization in the United Kingdom.
[8] Ella Cockbain, a criminologist at University College London, found the book to be far-right propaganda in that it accused the entire Muslim community of colluding with the groomers and took digs at multiculturalism; NER itself was described as a "conservative magazine heavily involved in the 'counter-jihad' movement".
[10] Lorenz Langer, a professor of law at University of Zurich, noted her to be among those who made a living by "churning out alarmist accounts of the threat that Islam poses to the Occident".
[11] Philip Dorling, while describing the attempts by Pauline Hanson's One Nation to have Islam unconsidered as a religion, found synonymities with Bynum, editor of the "far-right" NER.
