 An early centre of counterjihad discourse was the [[Gates of Vienna]] blog, run by American [[Edward S May]] under the pseudonym Baron Bodissey. In a September 2006 post on the site, Bodissey/May called for a new cultural war:
 ::We agree with [[Fjordman]] and many others that the Jihad is just a symptom, and that the enemy lies within. This war is a civil war within the West, between traditional Western culture and the forces of politically correct multicultural Marxism that have bedeviled it for the last hundred years.<ref>Baron Bodissey, [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2006/09/emperor-is-naked.html The Emperor is Naked], Gates of Vienna, 26 September 2006.</ref>

 The [[Counterjihad Copenhagen 2009]] conference took place in Denmark on 16/17 May 2009. In his report on the event, Bodissey/May reported that the Center for Vigilant Freedom (CVF) had been folded into the [[International Civil Liberties Alliance]] (ICLA):
 ::ICLA — like its predecessor CVF — is not itself primarily an action-oriented group. We are network facilitators, and our goal is to bring different groups and sub-networks into contact with one another, enhancing communication and improving the overall coordination of Counterjihad activities.<ref>Baron Bodissey, [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/05/slouching-towards-copenhagen.html Slouching Towards Copenhagen], 23 May 2009.</ref>
 He went on to claim that the Counterjihad network's initial goals had been met:
-:: even now things are changing: all across Europe the right-wing “xenophobic” parties are rising in the polls and gaining seats in local and national elections. Next month’s European parliamentary election will likely result in the entry of [[Sverigedemokraterna]] and [[Libertas]] into the EP, as well as more seats for [[Vlaams Belang]], the [[PVV]], [[Dansk Volkeparti]], and other nationalist parties.<ref>Baron Bodissey, [http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/05/slouching-towards-copenhagen.html Slouching Towards Copenhagen], 23 May 2009.</ref>
