The New English Review is an online monthly magazine of cultural criticism, published from Nashville, Tennessee, since February 2006. Scholars note the magazine to have platformed a range of far-right Islamophobic discourse including conspiracy theories. An eponymous press is run by the same publisher. The magazine was funded by Roy Bishko, owner of Tie Rack. Editor Rebecca Bynum was a long-time collaborator with Robert B. Spencer, a noted far-right Islamophobe activist, before heralding NER. Sveinung Sandberg, a criminologist at the University of Oslo, notes Anders Breivik to have been inspired and motivated by anti-Islamic discourse on sites including NER. Sindre Bangstad, a social anthropologist at University of Oslo, described the site as a "counter-jihadist publication" in discussing how the spread of Islamophobia within right-wing political networks of Norway had birthed Breivik. Joel Busher, a sociologist at the Coventry University, found NER to be part of the broader counter-jihad ecosystem which lamented the "failings of Western liberalism" to resist the "cultural loss" of Europe in the wake of increasing Muslim immigration; it hosted content that was sympathetic to the English Defence League, a far-right, Islamophobic organization in the United Kingdom.
