Biography

Raised Muslim, Walter renounced Islam and became an atheist. Later, she became a Christian and published writings critical of Islam via her social media accounts and in press articles.[1] Her opinions on the threat she believes Islam poses to the Western world have caused controversy.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Her analyses of Islam have been considered "anti-Muslim, Islamophobic, or racist in nature" by both Muslims and non-Muslims.[8] In August 2015, Walter and a camera team from SVT news programme Aktuellt were attacked when they walked through the Stockholm district of Rinkeby.[9] Eggs were thrown at the broadcaster's car.[10][9][11]

She has voiced her support for the Eurabia theory, saying that she has heard imams talk about Islamising Sweden through child-births and immigration,[12] and she has held speeches for organisations such as For Frihed (formerly Pegida Denmark),[13] Stop Islamisation of Norway,[14] and events with connections to the Sweden Democrats.[15]
