Murray is known for his [[Opposition to immigration|criticism of immigration]] and [[Criticism of Islam|Islam]].

Murray has been accused of putting a socially acceptable face on fringe ideologies. In 2012, Arun Kundnani wrote in an article for ''[[Security and Human Rights]]'' that the "counterjihadist" ideology expressed by Murray and other conservative intellectuals was "through reworking far-right ideology and appropriating official discourse... able to evade categorisation as a source of far-right violence".<ref name=Kundnani>{{cite journal |last=Kundnani |first=Arun |title=Blind spot?

But Murray's concerns about free speech are really just a ploy for far-right entryism.}}</ref> In 2019, an article in ''Social Policy Review'' described Murray's views as a kind of "mainstreamist" ideology that defies easy categorization as extremist while remaining "entangled with the far right".<ref name=LuxJordan>{{cite book |last1=Lux |first1=Julia |last2=David Jordan |first2=John |chapter=Alt-Right 'cultural purity' ideology and mainstream social policy discourse – Towards a political anthropology of 'mainstremeist' ideology |editor1-last=Elke |editor1-first=Heins |editor2-last=James |editor2-first=Rees |title=Social Policy Review 31: Analysis and Debate in Social Policy, 2019 |url=https://www.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1332/policypress/9781447343981.001.0001/upso-9781447343981 |date=2019 |publisher=Policy Press |doi=10.1332/policypress/9781447343981.001.0001 |isbn=978-1-4473-4400-1 |s2cid=213019061 |access-date=2 January 2021 |quote=Media pundit, journalist, and conspiracy entrepreneur Douglas Murray is a prime example of illustrating the influence of an 'organic intellectual'. Murray has written passionately in support of British fascist Tommy Robinson (Murray, 2018) and describes Islam as an "opportunistic infection" (Hasan, 2013) linked to the "strange death of Europe" (Murray, 2017a). Murray's ideas are not only entangled with the far-right (working class or otherwise), but with wider social connections.}}</ref>
