The Norwegian police charged a 32-year-old man on Saturday, who was identified by the Norwegian media as Anders Behring Breivik on charges related to bombing government building in central oslo, and a second shooting incident on an island 20 miles away – that resulted in over 90 deaths. Breivik has been identified as a "Christian fundamentalist with right-wing connections," according to the Times, as well as with anti-Muslim views, according to multiple sources.
Religious views: According to the BBC, Breivik has a Facebook and Twitter account that he set up a mere few days ago on July 17, where he identifies himself as a Christian and a conservative. There are several reports of his anti-Muslim views. In a post in Norwegian in an online forum on December 2009, a user named Anders Behring Breivik claims there is not one country where Muslims have peacefully lived with non-Muslims, stating that instead it has had "catastrophic consequences" for non-Muslims.
Political views: The Daily Mail reports that National police chief Sveinung Sponheim told public broadcaster NRK that the suspected gunman's internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen." Furthermore, the Norwegian daily Verdens Gang quoted a friend as saying Breivik became a rightwing extremist in his late 20s.Frank Mersland, a journalist with FVN TV, says Breivik has been linked to the anti-immigration Progress party.
He wrote to Guardian via email:The suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, has been tagged as a former member of the right winged political party Frp (Progress party). It's the second largest political party in Norway and their main issues are lower taxes and a much stricter policy on immigration. The Frp-leader, Siv Jensen, verified his membership on Norwegian TV2 a little while ago.
A Norwegian analyst said : “I think this is in some ways, for Americans, reminiscent of both Oklahoma City and Virginia Tech (historic acts of terrorism carried out by homegrown attackers), and I think in a country like Norway, quite a shocking and horrific set of attacks”. I actually think Brevik’s ideology is not so distant from Tea Party (and Republican Party) leaders. Let’s see what Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachman have to say on similar topics:Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's commented during a recent GOP debate comparing Muslims to Nazis. Gingrich’s affinity for religious freedom and his belief in God-given rights it would seem, doesn’t extend to Americans who are Muslim. Such outright bigotry and blatant hypocrisy from Gingrich, an avid historian and former college professor, is even more repulsive when you consider his reasoning. Gingrich’s paranoia that “America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization,” one must delve deeply into the polarizing, overzealous and paranoid minds of professional Muslim-baiters and the politicians who depend on their support and cater to their illiberal demands.
There was a also a recent report by the Center for Security Policy titled “Shariah: The Threat to America,” authored by a team billing itself as “Team B II” (in reference to the 1970s Team B notorious for its alarmist and now-discredited estimates of Soviet military capabilities)Here are some of their policy recommendations (p. 143 of the report):“…extend bands currently in effect that bar members of hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan from holding positions of trust in federal, state, or local governments or the armed forces of the United States to those who espouse or support shariah.”“Practices that promote shariah – notably, shariah-compliant finance and the establishment or promotion in public spaces or with public funds of facilities and activities that give preferential treatment to shariah’s adherents – are incompatible with the Constitution and the freedoms it enshrines and must be proscribed.”“Sedition is prohibited by law in the United States. To the extent that imams and mosques are being used to advocate shariah in America, they are promoting seditious activity and should be warned that they will not be immune from prosecution.”“Immigrations of those who adhere to shariah must be precluded, as was previously done with adherents to the seditious ideology of communism.”This report was endorsed by Michele Bachman who also added on a recent campaign visit to Iowas, that agrees with Republican Rep. Steve King, an immigration hard-line.
Bottom line, if you are an Iranian-American beware. The Republican Party is dead set at humiliating Obama, dragging the nation into fiscal bankruptcy, and emerging out of the economic chaos as the new party in charge. And this same party’s leadership endorse the views of Brevik.
If you don’t believe me, read this analysis from Rupert Murdoch’s Fox news, they have the audacity to blame Brevik actions, who is a right wing Christian, blond, blue eyed …wait for it …on Islam. //www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/07/22/how-to-make-sense-what-happened-in-oslo/

The killer's bigoted writings are not only highly praised but also prominently featured on the neoconservative blog Little Green Footballs (although i think they call themselves neoliberals these days, but hey what's the difference anyway).
Search their website for "Fjordman" if you want to have a look.

King Harald condemns ‘gruesome acts’ ( Related Video Interview Here)
Norway’s King Harald also wenton national TV late Friday night, to condemn the “gruesome acts” that shocked the country earlier in the day and to express his sympathy to the victims and their families.
The 74-year-old Norwegian monarch said his thoughts were with the injured and the families of those killed in the attacks on the government complex in downtown Oslo and the Labour Party’s summer youth camp at Utøya in the Tyri Fjord – “but also with our prime minister, with whom I’ve spoken, and the political Norway.”
King Harald said he also wanted to thank “all those who have helped save lives” during the long day of tragedy.
“Now it’s important that we stand together and support each other, and that we don’t let fear take over,” he said.
Flags around Norway were ordered at half-mast on Saturday. Police confirmed 17 dead and several more critically wounded.

by vildemose on Sat Jul 23, 2011 10:38 AM PDTThe far-right threat is real in the US...Islamist are right wingers too.
This guy happen to be a Christian right-winger...But nobody is calling him a Christian terrorist...why the double standards?
Great blog, great quotes by Sossan Khanom
by Bavafa on Sat Jul 23, 2011 10:30 AM PDTMy condolences to the family of the victims.
This is yet another proof that "terrorism" is not a monopoly of Muslims.

Some web comments on this topic
by Soosan Khanoom on Sat Jul 23, 2011 09:58 AM PDTnuts (idiots) in america were blaming already muslims for it........sick monsters !!!
I didn't relaize that the Tea Party had a branch in Norway.
The terrorist was a Christian Zionist who hated Muslims. So he murders a bunch of Christian kids. Leave it to a Neocon to do something like that. Like invading Iraq when they had nothing to do with 9-11.
$%$ ! !!! I didn't realize that Palin, Limbaugh and Beck could influence people all the way over in Norway. The disease in much more far reaching than we could have imagined. Go figure!!!
Check this scumbag to see if he has any Glen Beck recordings.
Congratulations Mr Geert Wilders, you've finally corrupted the white children of your part of the world and turned them into the same terrorists that you claim Muslims to be. I hope your proud of yourself!
I am keeping an eye on you Conservatives/Republicans/Tea Baggies, you are exhibiting signs that you all might detonate bombs and go on shooting sprees. Just the facts, you guys are gun loving, xenophobic, nationalist, who love using inflammatory rhetoric. How long before you start turning those words into action
Radical islamic muslim terrorist posing, as promised, falsely posing as a Right wing
Am I the only one who is surprised and outraged that they have a child labor camp in Noway? I thought Norway was a modern country
Rostam - I have a simple question?
by ayatoilet1 on Sat Jul 23, 2011 09:40 AM PDTHow Jews killed in Auchwitz were devout jews?
Or how about this question: How many Japanese-Americans placed in concentration camps spoke Japanese?
I don't know how sheltered your life is, but I think the far right threat in US is very real. No one is crying wolf... You've got your head under ground, like an ostrich.
This whole issue about Sharia Law coming to the US, is in fact the far right crying wolf. No-one, by any stretch of imagination, is imaging Sharia Law here in the U.S. Its total B.S. designed to polarize voters, and corner people like you and me. Wake up.
Relax!
by RostamZ on Sat Jul 23, 2011 09:32 AM PDTOne act of violence by a lunatic does not mean everyone is a lunatic. Also for Iranian-Americans being a Muslim is not a top priority and they are not so rigid about that. In regards to Sharia law, I will be the first person to speak against it here and anywhere else. Sharia law is a bunch of crap written for a bunch of primitive tribes. It has no meaning in the modern world.
So, stop crying wolf and try to fish our of muddy water.
