A number of academic and journalistic sources have linked Murray's ideology and political views to the far right (including the Eurabia conspiracy theory), the alt-right, the white nationalist right, the Islamophobic right or some combination thereof. Several commentators observed these themes in Murray's book "The Strange Death of Europe", with reviewer Nafeez Ahmed arguing in "Middle East Eye" that Murray expressed a form of "far-right entryism" in the book. In a similar vein, a review of "The Strange Death of Europe" in "The Guardian" described Murray's book as "gentrified xenophobia".
