Who Blew Up Oslo? A Right-Wing Terrorist, Of Course
>
Dirty Arab!
Republican Party propagandist, Erik Erickson, was one of the first to try to blame Muslims for the OK City-like mayhem in Oslo today. "It was not Lutherans who did it," he declared on his extreme right-wing blog. But, it turns out it was-- a Lutheran... and, like Erickson, a right-wing fanatic. And a Dexter fan to boot!
[A] darkly disturbing portrait emerged last night of Anders Behring Breivik, 32, the key suspect in twin attacks that killed at least seven people in a government-district explosion in Oslo and 80 more in a shooting spree at a bucolic teen summer camp.
The Norwegian daily Verdens Gang quoted a friend as saying Breivik became a right-wing extremist in his late 20s-- expressing strong nationalistic views in online debates, and blasting the idea that people of different cultural backgrounds can live alongside each other.
He also went to online forums to vent extremist Islamophobic views and blast immigration policies, reports said.
He lashed out at socialism for breaking down traditions, culture, national identity and other societal structures-- blaming it for creating a society that was weak and confused.
On his Facebook page, Breivik listed his favorite books as The Trial by Franz Kafka and 1984 by George Orwell.
And he said his favorite television show was "Dexter," a series about a Miami police forensics expert who moonlights as a serial killer of criminals whom he believes have escaped justice.
The site appeared to have been blocked by last night, but earlier it had listed interests including bodybuilding, conservative politics and freemasonry.
Norwegian media said he had set up a Twitter account a few days ago and posted a single cryptic message July 17 saying: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests."
His earlier life was in stark contrast, the Times of London reported, saying his attended a middle-class secondary school in Oslo and lived with his mother in a wealthy neighborhood in the city.
He'd set up his own business, Breivik Geofarm, and a month ago started to run an organic farm in Hedmark, in eastern Norway, where he reportedly produced and stored fertilizer.
No word yet if he preferred Limbaugh, Beck or Hannity.
He sure looks like a Republican, doesn't he?

Muslims are the real reason for this man to execute this many ..... no apologize. They bring hatered and frustration to people....
Ideology is a crutch of the weak.
This horrible tragedy is one more example of the fact that there is not a lot of difference between Christian religious fanatics and those in Islam or any other religion. Extremism is extremism.
Extremism is extremism, but what about moderation? Mainstream state violence kills far more people than the terrorism of either Christian or Muslim fundamentalism. Millions dead in Vietnam, over a million killed in Iraq -- not just by the Bush gang but by the Clinton junta -- and that hardly begins the count. And the moderate mainstream is perfectly happy to use religious terrorists to serve their own moderate political ends, as when Clinton imported mujaheddin to Bosnia. It's proper to deplore and condemn attacks like this one, but don't forget the big picture.
