Fjordman is one of "[[counter-jihad|Counterjihad's]] leading essayists."<ref>Toby Archer (2013). "[http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=f4bFAgAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA169 Breivik's mindset : the counterjihad and the new transatlantic anti-muslim right]." In: Max Taylor, P.M.

ISBN 1441140875</ref> He publicly revealed his name in 2011, after he had become known as the main ideological idol of [[Anders Behring Breivik]]. Breivik "refers to Fjordman as his favourite writer, and it is clear that Fjordman has contributed immensely to Breivik's reasoning."<ref>Stephen J. Walton (2012), "[http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08038740.2011.650707?journalCode=swom20 Anti-feminism and Misogyny in Breivik's 'Manifesto']," ''NORA – Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research'', Volume 20, Issue 1, pp. 4–11</ref>

Fjordman has stated that "[[Islam]] and all those who practice it must be [[Ethnic cleansing|totally and physically removed]] from the Western world."{{efn|"Islam og alle de som praktiserer det må bli totalt og fysisk fjernet fra hele den vestlige verden."}}<ref>Marie Melgård, [http://www.dagbladet.no/2011/08/06/nyheter/utoya/internett/fjordman/17574687/ Fjordman foreslo nazi-løsning], ''Dagbladet'', 6 August 2011</ref>

In 2013, Simen Sætre published a critical biography of Fjordman with the major publisher Cappelen Damm, on how Jensen went from being a quiet boy from a provincial town to become the blogger Fjordman, "the favourite writer" of a mass murderer.<ref>Simen Sætre, ''Fjordman: Portrett av en antiislamist'', CappelenDamm, 2013, ISBN 9788202409654</ref>
