The Norway attacks, 2011

This sadistic, barbaric attack must be one of the strangest terror attacks ever. One would never think, from the killer's online comments, that he was a mass murderer in waiting.The killer was right-wing and anti-jihad, yes, but he was not a neo-Nazi (he was pro-Israel) or a white supremacist (he opposed the BNP because they are racist). He was Christian, but not a fanatic (he was pro-gay).
In fact he was apparently like me - liberal right. He was anti-racist, pro-gay and pro-Israel. So how on earth did someone like that become a terrorist against the West?
Perhaps he radically changed his politics since his last post to document.no in Oct 2010 (see below). Can we see any writings of his between Oct 2010 and July 2011?

  • The Norway attacks, 22 July 2011.
  • A right-wing, anti-jihad terrorist kills over 90 in Norway.
  • Worst terror attack on the West since Madrid in 2004.
  • Worst right-wing terror attack since Oklahoma in 1995.
  • An anti-Islamic terrorist kills more people than in all Islamic terror attacks on the West since Madrid combined.
  • It was sort of an attack on left-wingers, but a very strange one. It targeted children who had nothing to do with policy, and wasincredibly sadistic, hunting them down and executing them close up. Even targeting the centre-left government is incredibly extreme - they support the Afghan War and the Libya War.
