Murray escreveu colunas para publicações como Standpoint, National Review e The Wall Street Journal. Ele é o autor de Neoconservatism: Why We Need It (2005), Bloody Sunday: Truths, Lies and the Saville Inquiry (2011) sobre a Bloody Sunday Inquiry, The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017) e The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity (2019) e The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason (2022).

Ayaan Hirsi Ali e Sohrab Ahmari elogiaram o trabalho e os escritos de Murray sobre o Islão na Europa.[5][6] O filósofo francês Bernard-Henri Lévy disse sobre Murray: "Quer se concorde com ele ou não", ele é "um dos mais importantes intelectuais públicos da atualidade".[7]

Murray foi descrito como um conservador,[8] um neoconservador[9][10][11] e um crítico do Islão.[12] Os seus pontos de vista e ideologia foram ligados a ideologias políticas de extrema-direita por uma série de fontes académicas[13] e jornalísticas.[14] Ele também foi acusado de promover teorias da conspiração de extrema-direita,[15][16][17] e de ser islamofóbico.[18]

Murray rejeitou as descrições de sua política como de extrema-direita, e acredita que o termo "extrema-direita" é usado em demasia pela esquerda política.[19][20]

Acclaim for Murray’s thought has been widespread, and ranges from liberal French public intellectual Bernard Henri-Levy, who claimed him to be ‘one of the most important public intellectuals today’, to authoritarian anti-immigrant hardliners such as Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who went so far as to promote The Strange Death of Europe on his Facebook page in Spring 2018... Murray’s book [The Madness of Crowds] remodels a much older theory of so-called ‘cultural Marxism’, which has long history in far-right thought.

Consultado em 2 de janeiro de 2021. in January 2011, Douglas Murray, the associate director of the Henry Jackson Society, which influences the government on national security policy, stated that, in relation to the EDL: ‘If you were ever going to have a grassroots response from non-Muslims to Islamism, that would be how you’d want it, surely.’ … these statements suggest that ‘counterjihadist’ ideologies, through reworking far-right ideology and appropriating official discourse, are able to evade categorisation as a source of far-right violence.

Consultado em 2 de janeiro de 2021. 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.

The white nationalist right like Roger Scruton and Douglas Murray reject that.

Cópia arquivada em 8 de novembro de 2020. “Europe is committing suicide,” says British author Douglas Murray in a video published by the far-right educational nonprofit Prager University. The cause? “The mass movement of peoples into Europe…from the Middle East, North Africa and East Asia” who allegedly made Europe lose faith in its beliefs and traditions 
  15. ↑ Murray and the Eurabia conspiracy theory:

Consultado em 2 de janeiro de 2021. Ye’Or’s Eurabia: the Euro-Arab Axis (2005) is the canonical work of the genre (Bangstad 2013; Larsson 2012), but extemporizations on her basic theme can be found in the work of many conservative writers during the late 2000s and 2010s, such as Melanie Phillips, Mark Steyn, Bruce Bawer, Christopher Caldwell, Douglas Murray and, more recently, Alt-Right-linked figures such as Lauren Southern and Raheem Kassam. The conclusive differentiator between counter-jihadist and more mainstream conservative laments about Western decline is the former’s decidedly conspiratorial framing...

It is not only far-right political parties and “alt-right” blogs that are fueling the fire of xenophobia. In our century, be it the Financial Times columnist Christopher Caldwell’s Reflections on a Revolution in Europe (2009) that recapitulates the idea of a slow-moving Muslim barbarian invasion, along with the Muslim “disorder, penury and crime”, or the works by Douglas Murray and Thilo Sarrazin (which I mention below), a number of European and American best sellers have supplied the emotional force to the Eurabia conspiracy in particular and the alt-right in general.

This Great Replacement motif articulated by Murray, Camus and other prominent conservative intellectuals has been weaponised as a rallying cry for white supremacists around the world, including Robert Bowers, who killed 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October 2018 and Tarrant, the Christchurch attacker, whose own manifesto posted online is called “The Great Replacement”.

Consultado em 3 de janeiro de 2021. Important Islamophobic intellectuals are, among others, Melanie Phillips, Niall Ferguson, Oriana Fallaci (d. 2006), Diana West, Christopher Hitchens (d. 2011), Paul Berman, Frank Gaffney, Nick Cohen, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Douglas Murray (Kundnani 2012b, 2008; Carr 2006; Gardell 2010). Murray described as 'Islamophobic':

National Identities. 21 (5): 527–539. doi:10.1080/14608944.2018.1531840. Consultado em 3 de janeiro de 2021. In addition, in Busher’s (2015) ethnographic study of EDL activism in the South East, he confirms that – while EDL activists’ ideological sources were largely drawn from ‘esoteric [Counter-Jihad] authors’ – they also ‘extended well beyond this niche’ to include mainstream ‘Islamophobes’ such as Douglas Murray and prominent New Atheists Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins (p. 84), whose characterisation of the Muslim faith as ‘evil’ or ‘mad’ adds grist to the group's Islamophobic cause. Murray listed as a right-wing Islamophobe:
    • Chambers, Stuart (22 de janeiro de 2021). «Islamophobia in western media is based on false premises». The Conversation. Consultado em 24 de fevereiro de 2021. Cópia arquivada em 23 de janeiro de 2021. The rhetoric of Canadian conservative author Mark Steyn is typical of right-wing Islamophobia. For instance, Steyn claims that “most Muslims either wish or are indifferent to the death of the societies in which they live.” Likewise, Dutch politician and right-wing populist Geert Wilders refers to the Qur’an as “a source of inspiration for, and justification of, hatred, violence and terrorism in the world, Europe and America.” British conservative political commentator Douglas Murray suggests that to reduce terrorism, the United Kingdom requires “a bit less Islam.”
