It did not take long for Norway's New Quislings to rally around a new label for their enemies: "Eurabia writers," "Eurabia conspiracists," "Eurabia propagandists," or some variation thereupon. One of the first to employ this label was Sindre Bangstad, a social anthropologist at the University of Oslo, who in the Danish newspaper Politiken used Breivik's atrocities as a club with which to beat a wide range of adversaries.
