The intimate enemy

The terrorist attacks by Anders Breivik in Norway have exposed the deep violence which has been nurtured in this and other European countries by an emergent Right-wing which has normalised hate speech and extreme politics under the cover of "free speech". Thankfully, this incident has roused people to oppose this insidious use of a core liberal value to propagate extremist Right-wing politics and for the first time in many years, Right-wing attacks on migrants and Muslims are being publicly opposed.
