Norway's Psycho Killer Is Talking With Police And Keen To Explain Himself

The man arrested for a brutal killing spree in Norway, Anders Behring Breivik, is talking to police and was "keen to explain himself," according to local authorities.

Meanwhile details are emerging about the blond-haired 32-year-old.

First he seems to be Christian fundamentalist and a conservative, with anti-Muslim views. This contradicts what many assumed, including the Financial Times, which published a quick feature on the history of Islamic terrorism in Nordic countries, and the New York Times, which suggested the attack related to the war in Afghanistan. A headline in The Sun mistakenly referred to an 'Al Qaeda' Massacre.

Mr Breivik served in the Norweigian military and had no criminal record, according to the Telegraph. He is believed to have grown up in Oslo and studied at the Oslo School of Management. He runs an organic farming business.

The sole tweet from his supposed twitter account sheds light on his mentality. A quote from the philosopher John Stuart Mill, it says: "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests."

1. Nice. He can talk, his victims can't talk back. Put him in the cell with the hate-filled mullah.

2. Not surprising.
I'm sure that he is proud of himself, and wants to deliver a message that encourages further hateful, violent crimes against humanity.

4. Have NYT & WaPo corrected themselves yet? . . .
Am I the only one wondering what they "knew" & when they "knew" it.

Sorry, just gun-shy here from the build-up to the Invasion & Occupation of Iraq.

6. So, it is established that he is psycho? Are all terrorists psycho? I am unwilling to brand this
man as a psycho. That puts him outside of "normal" society. History tells us that brutal violent disgusting acts are well accepted and often respected within "normal" society.

7. And we should be afraid of Muslims?
I have always been more afraid of skinheads, but then again, I learned about lynching and murders by the KKK in the south and burning of churches at a young age.

A wise man told me that it is those that hold onto ideologies, those that dogmatically believe in their one truth, that are the most dangerous and willing to kill for their "truth".

Again, this is revealed to us in an act of terrorism.

Peace,

9. Everyone is looking for a reason a rw Christian conservative who
is anti-muslim would do this - here it is: just days before the attack one of the headlines in the papers was "Norway to Back Palestinian State". It is attributed to Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr. rw Christians are radically pro-Israel and hate the idea of a two state settlement for a Palestinian state. For someone as unstable as this guy this is all it would take to set him off.

I have not seen this even suggested so far. It is all wrapped up in this crazy rw theory about Jews and the end times.

Any thoughts?

12. Fundamentalists are looking for
excuses to turn their hate and fear into violence. And that could be this Christian's excuse.

Peace,

10. He MUST be innocent.
He's a CHRISTIAN! Everybody knows they're all about LOVE™.

Oh, wait, don't tell me... he isn't a REAL Christian. Personally, I accept no substitutes.
