Did anti-Muslim extremists in the US influence Anders Breivik?

The World

Anders Behring Breivik, the  Norwegian  charged with carrying out a mass killing  last week in his home country, told his lawyer he was saving Norway from Muslim domination. Breivik is an anti-Muslim extremist, and it has become clear that he was heavily influenced by American bloggers, who share his fears about the threat of Muslim immigrants on Western culture. Pam Geller is one of those bloggers. On her blog, “Atlas Shrugs,” Geller speaks about the threat of Islam in America. She spoke with our producers last night. Wajahat Ali joins us this morning. Ali is a journalist who is currently researching Islamophobia in America for the Center for American Progress. The report is due out in August.
