'''Anders Behring Breivik''', a self described "investor, director, manager," etc.  "revolutionary conservative," "resistance fighter"<ref>''2083 - A European Declaration of Independence,''p. 1398</ref> — and terrorist, was born in Oslo, Norway on February 13th, 1979.  

Breivik  was accused of, and has since admitted, murdering at least 76 people<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/world/europe/26oslo.html?_r=1&hp Norway Suspect Denies Guilt and Suggests He Did Not Act Alone]</ref> in Norway on July 22, 2011. A bomb was set off near government buildings in Oslo, killing 8. Some 90 minutes later, Breivik, dressed as a policeman, gained access to the island of Utoya, where hundreds of young people were attending a youth camp sponsored by the left-leaning Norwegian Labor Party.  After gathering the attendees into a group, Breivik reportedly began shooting, killing at least 68 people there.

Breivik has been charged with acts of terrorism. While appearing before a judge on July 25, 2011, Breivik admitted to the acts but pleaded not guilty to the charge of terrorism,<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/world/europe/26oslo.html?_r=1&hp Norway Suspect Denies Guilt and Suggests He Did Not Act Alone]</ref> as he believes he was acting in preemptive self-defense <ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/24/us-norway-manifesto-idUSTRE76N0X820110724 ''Norway's mass killer pursuing anti-Islam crusade''], Reuters, Sun Jul 24, 2011</ref> The 32-year-old murderer also said his bombing of government buildings in Oslo and shootings at the summer camp on Utoya island for Labour's youth wing was aimed at deterring future recruitment to the Labour party, which he blames for "mass imports of Muslims," which he accuses of "demographic warfare."

The attacks left the world stunned, not only due the number killed in such a manner, but  that it happened in Norway, a country seen as relatively peaceful. And due to the murdering being done by a blond haired, green eyed 32-year-old gunman, looking much like a Nordic ideal (he claimed Viking ancestry), who apparently had no criminal record other than traffic violations.

The attacks left the world stunned, not only due the number killed in such a manner, but  that it happened in Norway, a country seen as relatively peaceful. And which was also due to the murdering being done by a blond haired, green eyed 32-year-old gunman, looking much like a Nordic ideal (he claimed Viking ancestry), who apparently had no criminal record other than traffic violations. Jens Breivik, the father of Anders Behring Breivik, who said his son cutr contact with in 1995 (Breivik was 15-16 years old), sent his condolences to "all those who have suffered" as a result of the attacks, and saiudsays he is in "a complete state of shock and has not recovered".  

 

Certain [[liberal]] sources, such as a Professor Juan Cole, were quick to implicate conservatives as somewhat culpable for Breivik's rampage, leading others to opine that, “The Left tends to use non-violent passive resistance, like with Gandhi and MLK, Jr.”

To which one respondent writes,

In less than a day over 27,000 people signed up via Facebook up for a memorial service in Oslo the next day,  with numbers increasing rapidly. It was later reported that the whole country was watching the service,  "Not a man in sight outside."

"Your above-cited quote is a good case of historical amnesia, deliberate or otherwise... You apparently have never heard of (or don’t want to acknowledge) the Weathermen, the Black Panthers, the Symbionese Liberation Army, and others in the U.S.; not to mention the Bolsheviks in Russia, Mao Zhe Dong in China, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, Kim Jong Il in North Korea, the FARC in Colombia, the Sendero Luminoso in Peru, The MIR in Chile, and other Leftist movements throughout the world that have used terrorism as a tactic. I think an objective tally would prove that both the Left and the Right are equal opportunity terrorists."<ref>''White Christian Fundamentalist Terrorism in Norway,'' Informed consent blog,  posted on 07/23/2011</ref>

Geir Lippestad, Breivik's lawyer, told Norwegian media, "I think he's realized what he's done, and he views himself as sane." "He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary...He wanted to hurt the Labour party and halt its recruitment in the worst possible way, referring to party members as marxists."  Extra security was planned for mosques around the U.K.  

The New York Times (which Breivik references a few times in his manifesto), in a opinion piece titld, ''Breivik and His Enablers,'' used the killing to implicate [[Sarah Palin]] with the attack on Representative [[Gabrielle Giffords]], while naming Republicans such as Republicans former House Speaker [[Newt Gingrich]] and Representative Peter King as "ideological fellow travelers" with Breivik, as well as "U.S. church pastors using their bully pulpits week after week to say America is a Christian nation under imminent threat from Islam." The columnist called such [[bigotry]], while he exhibited his own bigotry against the latter group of people, linking them to the actions of Breivik, and "a racist and murderous European right."<ref>Roger Cohen, ''Breivik and His Enablers,''July 25, 2011</ref>

Breivik wrote of having strong links with the right-wing group, the English Defence League (EDL), but which denied that Breivik had any links with them and stated that they "vehemently" opposed his actions.<ref>telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/8659028/Norway-shooting-July-24-as-it-happened.html</ref>   Daryl Hobson, who organizes EDL demonstrations, condemned the killings, and stated that,

At the least, liberal journalists charged that Breivik seems to have been motivated by the view of right versus wrong that animates the "Christian worldview," which pits Marxism, multiculturalism, Islam, etc. as enemies of God and truth,<ref>Sarah Pisner, ''How Breivik’s “Cultural Analysis” is Drawn from the “Christian Worldview”''</ref>  while the same journalists fight against evangelical Christian faith, traditional morals and those who uphold them as being enemies of liberalism's deleterious social experiment that has cost America and the world greatly in souls, lives and money.<ref>[http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html Revealing Statistics: America in Decline; Present Costs of the War against God]</ref> 

“I spoke to him a few times on Facebook and he is extremely intelligent and articulate and very affable,” said the source. “He is someone who can project himself very well and I presume there would be those within the EDL who would be quite taken by that. It’s like Hitler, people said he was hypnotic. This guy had the same sort of effect.” <ref>''Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik had extensive links to English Defence League'', The Telegraph, 25 Jul 2011</ref>

 

Others  also cite evidence that liberalism is more prone to violence and terrorism.  <ref>http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2010/03/16/liberal_violence_five_names_you_should_know/page/full</ref> <ref>http://pushbacknow.net/2011/01/16/history-of-liberal-violence</ref>

In contrast to the overall reaction by Islamic authorities to the acts of Muslim terrorists, the Christian community has been quick to condemn the attacks by Breivik as being contrary to authentic Christianity. Gordon Showell-Rogers, Associate International Director of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), stated,

A possible exception might be in order to save others from being hurt in an immediate situation, but that is hardly a religious context. And historically, rather than religious violence, many Christian Evangelica­l “fundamenta­list” groups have chosen to be complete pacifists, while acts such as the Crusades are seen to be the result of Biblical illiteracy and of men presuming a higher authority. This lead to the conclusion that those who assert that Breivik was acting consistent with the Bible may be potentially as dangerous as he is.<ref>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2752880/posts?page=32#32</ref>

Many liberal secular sources were quick to label Breivik a ''Christian Extremist'' a "Christian fundamentalist with right-wing connections," or "Christian terrorist," based upon a Facebook and a Twitter account in which he identifies himself as a Christian and a conservative.

However, his best friend was a man named Arsalan who was a Pakistani, 1389)and Breivik also asserted. "I don't hate Muslims at all. I acknowledge that there are magnificent Muslim individuals in Europe. In fact, I have had several Muslim friends over the years, some of which I still respect. This does not mean however that I will accept an Islamic presence in Europe. Muslim individuals who do not assimilate 100% within 2020 will be deported as soon as we manage to seize power. Although I do admit that I am disgusted by the current development, I would rather say I'm driven by my love for Europe, European culture and all Europeans. This does not mean that I oppose diversity. But appreciating diversity does not mean that you support genocide of your own culture and people by accepting for example Islamic Demographic Warfare." (p. 1382)

Thus what Breivik was engaged in was a culture war, but his murderous means of waging such was like unto those of the Muslim extremists which he abhorred, and afforded him little moral high ground. Also, paradoxically, his manifesto, with its guide to waging war, may have provided Muslim terrorists and other violent radicals with improved tactics, while  his actions are expected to make it more difficult to peacefully support conservative values.   

It therefore seems evident that what Breivik was engaged in was a culture war for the institution of a quasi-Catholic based secular culture as opposed to Islam, but his murderous means of waging such was like unto those of the Muslim extremists that he abhorred, and which methods afforded him little moral high ground. Also, paradoxically, his manifesto, with its guide to waging war, may have provided Muslim terrorists and other violent radicals with improved tactics, while  his actions are expected to make it more difficult to peacefully support conservative values.   

Although Breivik's legal disclaimer states  that his manifesto is "a fictional account" by a "sci-fi writer" using a new writing style "that has the potential to shock the reader with an incredibly credible fictional plot (written in first, second and third person narrative), yet it seems apparent that the only part of the book intended to be fiction was his statement that  "the author or distributor does not condone or agree with any of the descriptions or methods used in this book and the related chapters." (p. 767)

"The difference between an agent and a Justiciar Knight is that the latter will be willing to make a great sacrifice for the purpose of proper validation. Now what kind of sacrifice would be great enough to remove all doubt that the candidate is not a EU/US agent? A Justiciar Knight is willing to martyr himself for the cause while a EU/US agent will not be willing to sacrifice much. The entity should demand that the alleged Justiciar Knight in question surgically remove his penis and testicles and/or execute a fixed number of civilian children. While this requirement seems morbid, absurd and unreasonable, it is perhaps the most effective method of confirming the intentions of an individual. (p. 960)

Breivik wrote of having strong links with the English Defence League (EDL). Daryl Hobson, who organises EDL demonstrations, condemned the killings, and stated that,

That Breivik understood the gravity of his planned program of actions is evident from his statements in his manifesto. In the event that he had "a successful mission" and lived to "stand a multiculturalist trial," he stated that not only would all his friends and family

detest him and call him a monster, but that he would be "labeled as the biggest (Nazi-) monster ever witnessed since WW2." He wondered if he could biologically "survive the mental" pressures he expected, including physical torture, though he asserted "I have an extremely strong psyche (stronger than anyone I have ever known)," and that "I will always know that I am perhaps the biggest champion of cultural conservatism, Europe has ever witnessed since 1950." 

“I spoke to him a few times on Facebook and he is extremely intelligent and articulate and very affable,” said the source. “He is someone who can project himself very well and I presume there would be those within the EDL who would be quite taken by that. It’s like Hitler, people said he was hypnotic. This guy had the same sort of effect.” <ref>''Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik had extensive links to English Defence League'', The Telegraph, 25 Jul 2011</ref>

In the end, Breivik joins a list of other deluded souls who only wanted some form of Christianity, due to some of its positive aspects, but denied the power thereof, that is, Christ and His kingdom, and therefore he choose "a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Proverbs 14:12)
