The overtly anti-immigrant groups, some of which are openly racist, are numerous but small and politically marginal in the country. However, suspicion, fear and myths abound, especially targeting Muslim immigrants (who make up around one per cent of the population). Many Norwegians exaggerate their numbers if asked; many believe that Muslim women have an average of ten children each; there is a widespread idea to the effect that all Muslims are "fundamentalists", and so on. In general, the very presence of Muslims in the country is seen as a threat against Norwegian identity by some zealous patriots, who reject that "mix of cultures" presumedly imposed by migration, and who would prefer that Norwegian society conformed firmly to nationalist doctrine; namely, that it should only comprise people "of the same kind".

The author has a certain worldish agenda that he manages to disguise as scientific. His comments on Islam reveal that by default he will refuse to even consider such phenomena as cultures mixing with each other. Because nationstates are more often than not simplified representations of the cultures they harbour, he jumps also to the flawed conclusion that culture as such is imaginary, and thus the mixing of Norwegian culture(s) with Islam cannot be considered a problem; the phenomenon as such cannot even be real. He even denies that the rise of Islam in Norway, and the spread of Islam in general, has something to do with migration.
