BBC: Norwegian far right defend Breivik's views on Islam

Defence witnesses from the far right in Norway have backed Anders Behring Breivik's views on Islam in court on Day 31 of his murder trial. They said Norway was threatened by Muslim immigration, an argument used by Breivik in an attempt to justify massacring 77 people and injuring 242.

Breivik's defence said the extremists' testimony proved he was not insane because others shared his views.

Arne Tumyr, who heads an organisation called Stop the Islamisation of Norway, described Islam as "a religion of violence, a religion of wars". His organisation, he said, considered Islam "a threat to Norwegian society and values".

Mr Tumyr said people in Islamic states lived "in a regime of terror and slavery" comparable to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. If nothing was done, he said, Norway would be "taken over by Muslims".

Apparently the defense is trying to prove that Breivik is not legally insane by showing that his extreme view of Muslims is shared by others.
