In an e-mail newsletter to subscribers, the makers of NYPD training video,”The Third Jihad”, cite Norway terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and promote his anti-Muslim views.

In an e-mail from the Clarion Fund, the well financed anti-Muslim propaganda machine that happens to also be a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, subscribers received a disjointed collection of “articles” and links promoting the latest innovations in racist ideology, and a defense of its “work” which has come under fire from segments of the mainstream media.
Most notably, the e-mail highlights the ideology of mass-murdering anti-Muslim terrorist, Anders Breivik… and not for criticism, but as a prescient voice of threat assessment:
A reader from Norway, re: our movie, Obsession, writes:
“What a hot current topic this is! Just today the news came out in Norway, “officially” and in spite of all the PC-ness of this government, that according to the national security forces, the threat of Islamist terrorism is the foremost threat against Norway. You probably remember the July 22 shootings. One of Breivik’s arguments was that the authorities were not taking this threat seriously because you musn’t offend a Muslim. Interesting development.”
The choice to promote this “reader comment” to an untold number of subscribers fits a predictable pattern of projection by the Clarion Fund and its sundry ideological and fiscal supporters. While their hate-videos accuse Muslim organizations of failing to condemn terrorists, here they are actively promoting – and arguably lionizing – the bloodiest terrorist that Norway has ever known.
This particular segment ends with a solicitation for stories of Muslim attempts at domination and states that stories will be “reviewed”, so the laudatory reference to Breivik is clearly no mistake or oversight:
Let us know about attempts by Muslims to impose Islamic laws in your community, report about radical Muslim demonstrations or activities on your college campus or in your neighborhood. Send us all the details. After being reviewed, your story may be published…
Despite this naked ideological support for a politically motivated mass-murderer, it seems unlikely that Ray Kelly will divert any of the resources dedicated to harassing everyday Muslims in order to investigate his partners in the racist vilification of communities of color.
