Abstract

This paper analyses ideas about Islam and Muslims and their potential threat to the Norwegian nation in the ideology of three small fundamentalist Christian political parties. They are the Christian Unity Party, The Christians, and the Fatherland Party. The data is collected from party programs published between 1990 and 2013 and on interviews. The paper will look at changes in the role that Islam and Muslims play in the nationalist ideology and political rhetoric of the three parties from the early 1990s till 2013
