Draft talk:Conrad Myrland

This article contains information about one or more living persons. Articles about living people must be handled carefully, because they are more open to legal threats. Reference any contentious allegations solidly; unreferenced allegations should be removed. If legal threats are raised on this page, please direct the potential litigant to RationalWiki:Legal FAQ; do not interact with them.

The original article claimed that Myrland is a islamophobic, far-right extremist inspired by Anders Behring Breivik. There is nothing indicating that this is true, and if it was, sources should be presented. He is calling Breivik a crook: http://www.miff.no/norge-og-israel/2011/08/09-Blir-det-mer-aapenhet-for-Israels-versjon.htm --Bellanotte (talk) 17:41, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

No, it didn't claim that Breivik inspired Myrland, but that Myrland inspired Breivik ("inspired Anders Behring Breivik", not "inspired by Anders Behring Breivik"). The rather selective defence speech of Myrland's that you linked to also only focuses on whether Breivik is a Christian Zionist, not whether Breivik was inspired by Myrland & Co.'s virulent Islamophobia. Essentially, it's a strawman defence, because I've heard no one claim that Breivik was any sort of Zionist, or a creationist which were the areas Myrland focused on in distinguishing himself and MIFF from Breivik.
