Kim Møller (born 1971)[1] is a Danish blogger and former editor of the political news blogUriasposten.[2]
Activities
Møller grew up in Lystrup and studied history at Aarhus University,[2] receiving a Master of Arts (cand.mag.) degree.[3][4] He comes from a working-class background and was formerly a leftist.[1] He has later described himself as national conservative, and founded Uriasposten in 2003, which has been described as the most popular Danish political blog.[1][2] The blog was characterised by harsh criticism of migration, Muslims, Islam and left-wing politics,[3] and has been described as being part of the counter-jihad movement.[1][5]
Møller published the book Vejen til Damaskus: dansk islamforskning 1885-2005 in 2008, which criticised the modern Danish scholar on Islam, Jørgen Bæk Simonsen, and generated a major debate in Danish media.[6][7][8][9]
In 2010, Møller and a friend were violently attacked by up to ten Antifascistisk Aktion activists while photographing during a demonstration in Aarhus.[10][11][12]
In 2016, Uriasposten was briefly shut down as Møller became the editor of Document.dk, a Danish edition of Document.no.[1] Møller finally closed Uriasposten down in 2022, after what he described as persecution by left-wing activists, authorities and Danmarks Radio, with threats of legal action for alleged copyright violations.[13][14][15]
In 2021 Møller was charged with having shared a photo of a murder victim in the 2020 Nice stabbing having her throat slit.[16][17] He was first acquitted, then sentenced to a suspended jail sentence after an appeal, but finally acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2024.[18]
