The anonymous Norwegian blogger Fjordman is convinced that Europe is facing a bloody civil war. He is intense, remarkably anonymous, and filled with conspiracy theories, say those who have met him.

Fjordman is the anonymous blogger who praised the terrorist accused Anders Behring. He now fears for his safety, writes Adresseavisen.

Editor of the site HonestThinking, Ole Jørgen Anfindsen, said he met Fjordman summer of 2009 in connection with Fjord Man's contribution to Anfindsen book "Suicide paradigm."

- He refused to give his identity. My publisher and requirements was that he would meet me face to face, without having to reveal their identity to us. He went along with it, says Anfindsen to Adresseavisen.

He estimates that the blogger is between 35 and 45 years. Last time he was in contact with Fjordman, was when he received an e-mail message two days ago.

- He has to me indicated that he is worried for his safety. He has previously said he would like to say more about themselves, but that he dared not for the sake of his family, claiming Anfindsen.

In an e-mail interview with NRK writes what is probably the Fjordman that he is willing to assist police in their investigation.

- If I can help in any way to solve all aspects of this horrific crime I do of course like it, write Fjordman.

He believes not that he's sitting on some information that is important in the terror case.

- Personally, I think quite honestly that I have very little information about Breivik, a person I never met, writes Fjordman.

Hege Storhaug of Human Rights Service, said she experienced Fjordman as unpleasant.

Hege Storhaug of Human Rights Service said she was scared of Fjord Man's opinions when they met at a café in Oslo in 2003.

- I must say that he was remarkably vague and anonymous - quite the opposite of the impression he gives in his many texts, she says to Adresseavisen.

She describes Fjordman as a man in his 30-year, 1.80 or a maximum of 1.85 high - and that a "plain, gray and boring everyday Norwegian."

- I found him completely uninteresting that further conversation partner, he was very uncomfortable. The opinions were extreme, conspiracy theories are strong. He had a conviction that we are heading for a bloody civil war in Europe. He was convinced that Norwegian politicians and culture of people have been in alliance with Islamist forces to eradicate our culture, says Storhaug.

Police announced earlier this week that it will examine Fjordman in connection with the investigation of terrorist attacks, and he told NRK that he will contribute. According to Dagbladet, the police know Fjord Man's identity.

- He will be questioned. It is natural for us to talk to him, said police attorney Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby of Our Country on Tuesday.
