Srđa Trifković is a Serbian-American writer on international affairs and foreign affairs editor for the paleoconservative magazine Chronicles.

He was director of the Center for International Affairs at the Rockford Institute until his resignation on 31 December 2008. Trifković was an unofficial spokesman for the Republika Srpska government in the 1990s and a former adviser to Serbian president Vojislav Koštunica and Republika Srpska president Biljana Plavšić.[3]

Trifković is the author of Defeating Jihad: how the War on Terrorism can be won - in spite of ourselves and Sword of the Prophet: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, a book about the history and tenets of Islam which identifies the rise of Islamic fundamentalism as the greatest danger to Western values since the end of the Cold War.

In February 2011, Canadian authorities refused entry for Trifković to enter Canada to address a meeting at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver..[1]

Counterjihad links

Cited by Breivik

Norwegian militant and mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik cited him in his A European Declaration of Independence manifesto.

Counterjihad conference speaker

Trifković was keynote speaker at the 2008 Counterjihad Vienna Conference, held in Vienna on 10 May 2008, where he argued that:

an education campaign about the teaching and practice of Islam should result in legislative action that would exclude Islam from the societies it is targeting - not because it is an intolerant “religion,” but because it is an inherently seditious totalitarian ideology incompatible with the values of the West.[2]

Friend of Robert Spencer

According to blogger Kejda Gjermani:

I would like to draw attention to Robert Spencer's relationship with Srjda/Serge Trifkovic, author of books critiquing Islam and self-styled scholar of Islamic history, theology and law. In fact, his books are so similar to Spencer's in tone and tenor they are often purchased together on Amazon. The two authors are friends: they've held joint interviews, collaborated on a documentary film, "Islam: What the West Needs to Know," and Spencer has frequently featured and extolled Trifkovic's work and commentary throughout his website JihadWatch. Trifkovic is heavily promoted by the American Council for Kosovo -- a Serbian lobbying organization in which Spencer serves as board member. Another board member -- until his death -- was Alfred Sherman, who also founded and financed a similar organization, the Lord Byron Foundation for Balkan Studies, currently headed by Srdja Trifkovic. Moreover, Trifkovic and the director of the American Council for Kosovo, James Jatras, have coauthored articles and held interviews together.
