A BBC profile of his work has noted that "He claims the unusual and unenviable record of meeting more reformed extremists than anyone else."Ihler has said that he believes that Anders Breivik should be treated humanely by the Norwegian prison system.
He told BBC Radio 4 that "Breivik denied us all humanity and all human rights.
But that does not ever make it right for us to deny him the same thing.
If we do that, we follow the same logic as him I think.”
