Andreas Mölzer<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_M%C3%B6lzer </ref>, a long-standing member of Austrian Freedom Party and belonging to its "pan-German" wing, published a book titled: ''Eurabia. The nightmare of Europe's Islamisation''. Mölzer served in the European Parliament for two election periods. He withdrew from running for another period in 2014 in reaction to media reports on statements in which he had described the EU as far worse than National Socialist Germany which, according to his view, was relatively ''informal and liberal'', since it knew less ''regulations, prescriptions, commands, and proscriptions.'' Mölzer initially strictly denied another statement claiming EU was a ''"conglomerate of negroes"'', until confronted with audio material confirming this phrase.<ref>http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_M%C3%B6lzer </ref>

Italian author Oriana Fallaci after 9/11 published three books with Islamophobic views in which she e.g. claimed that ''"the sons of Allah breed like rats"''<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriana_Fallaci </ref> and that Europe had become "Eurabia". Fallaci also contended that Europe suffered a demographic infiltration by Muslims and that Islam, as was allegedly proved by 9/11, not only engaged in open, but also in covert warfare.<ref name="http://www.journal-fuer-psychologie.de">http://www.journal-fuer-psychologie.de/index.php/jfp/article/view/263/302</ref> Fallaci had also defended holocaust deniers like Robert Faurisson stating it was no problem to give an alternative view of history, and similarly defended the views of Brigitte Bardot who received several court sentences for instigating racial hatred.<ref>http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriana_Fallaci </ref>
