Pat's an idiot. It's like the Greenies saying Ted Kaczynski was right .
In no way do these means justify any ends (an end that I disagree with anyway since I think Muslims are just fine, for a Muslim is not necessarily and in most cases absolutely is NOT a terrorist).
ANYWAY... so this guy is on the "right" in Norway, and now people are comparing his "right" extremism to American "right" extremist.
The "right" that he formerly subscribed to and since left because it was too extreme was Populism and Conservative Liberalism. Progress Party.
Soooo... perspective please.
Back to the basics: his actions sicken me, and I believe him to be worthy of the worst kind of punishment of which Norway is capable. Maybe Viking torture? In all seriousness, his lawyers are saying he's insane... well duh. I say all the more reason to lock him up and isolate him forever. Scumbag.
I believe that would be 21 years in jail as a max sentence .Quote:
and I believe him to be worthy of the worst kind of punishment of which Norway is capable
If they decide to try him with Crimes Against Humanity the sentence is 30 years..
I think mass murder on this scale certainly comes under that heading.
Either way this "person" will not be leaving the prison system alive, either from incarceration or mental institution..
Really, they're that easy on murderers? Send him to Texas...
TBH, this is one of those very rare occasions that I completely agree with Capital Punishment.
I am not one to think Capital Punishment is justified easily. In this case, we have massive casualties, ONE PERSON who is the clearly defined murderer, and he completely admits to it... add to his admission all of the witnesses.Quote:

He should fry.
Hello again,
Here's what Glenn Beck had to say.. I guess he agrees with Pat.
"There was a shooting at a political camp," Beck said dismissively of last week's events, "which sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler youth. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing. "
I don't know why I shouldn't use this thread to beat up on the right wing crazy's... They SO deserve it.
excon
By all means, Excon.
I just mean to say that Norway's right isn't America's right.
Apparently Norway's punishment isn't America's either >: (

Here's another. They're doing their DAMNEDEST to DENY that this murderer is a CHRISTIAN, because they do NOT want the label Christian Terrorist attached to him... I don't blame 'em.
BUT, I'm reading in his manifesto that he's going to be PRAYING to God while he's doing his KILLING... I guess, you could say that he's yelling the CHRISTIAN equivalent of Alla Akbar...
Here are his words verbatim: "I have not yet felt the need to ask God for strength, yet... But I'm pretty sure I will pray to God as I'm rushing through my city, guns blazing, with 100 armed system protectors pursuing me with the intention to stop and/or kill. I know there is a 80%+ chance I am going to die during the operation as I have no intention to surrender to them until I have completed all three primary objectives AND the bonus mission."
Looks like a Christian Terrorist to me..
excon
More of his words verbatim.. he writes on page 1307 of his manifesto:
Generally, one must have faith in Jesus Christ to be a Christian. Believing in Christianity as "as a cultural, social, identity and moral platform" does not make one a Christian. Heck, believing in Christianity does not make one a Christian.Quote:
"If you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God then you are a religious Christian. Myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God. We do however believe in Christianity as a cultural, social, identity and moral platform. This makes us Christian.”
What's ironic is those who rush to condemn someone for associating Islam with terrorism are the same ones rushing to associate this one guy with Christianity. Now that's crazy.
P.S. Before we go on, allow me to condemn this atrocity and agree that he is a monster. Probably the only alleged "Christians" that might give this monster an atta boy are the Phelps, and they're no Christians either. That's the difference between Christians and Muslims, we all condemn terrorism. You won't find Christians rushing to praise Jesus for the murder of dozens of infidels, but it isn't hard to find Muslims praising Allah for the same.
This guy and other terrorists are messed up psychos who use popular and peaceful ideals to justify their psychosis.
Why can't people separate that?
This guy is ALSO NORWEGIAN! Let's make sure to associate all Norwegians as terrorists now! OH, he's a male! All males are terrorists! Same with blondes with blue eyes... looks like my boyfriend's a terrorist.
Come on, people. Turn everything into a "YOUR political party this" and "YOUR religion that". All these threads end up the same way and it's the same conversation over and over again. Y'all are just drinking the media's kool-aid and I know you're better than that!
As far as how religion plays into this whole thing... it's pretty clear to me that people are departing from the moral nature of religion when they kill each other because GOD told them to.
This guy and "Islamic" terrorists can call themselves "Christian" and "Islamic" all they want... but isn't it pretty clear to clear-minded people that they're just terrorists? I guess that goes back to the point I tried to make in my previous post.
This guy needs to be tried according to his crime: murdering massive amounts of innocent people. His reasons for doing so are moot because there is NO reason according to justice to do such a thing. Trying to argue based on those reasons isn't very logical.
A disgruntled ex-boyfriend just got 103 years in Colorado for attempting to kidnap and torture his ex, and when he got caught he attempted to kill the cop by shooting at him 3 times.
So... are ALL ex-boyfriends to be associated with this guy now? After all, they fit the bill... they're ex-boyfriends.
I don't know if I'm making my point... I just think it's all a strawman and people are allowing it to work on them.
Ex claims he didn't drink the Koolaid but I think he did. :)
P.S. I've always separated Islamic terrorists from your garden variety Muslim, but no you cannot separate the Muslim from the terrorism if it is in done in the name of, for the glory of and for the reward from Allah. Same would be true if in fact a Christian was doing the same in the name of Jesus. This guy doesn't fit the criteria of being a Christian by his own words.
Oh, I wasn't even thinking of Ex's signature line when I said that!Quote:

What you have here is a political nutcase, a person completely obscessed, you can't blame what he did on religion, but on a disturbed mind. His problem is the same sort of problem that allowed the halocaust. Europe is a place that has allowed a problem to grow until you get an individual who will take unilateral action
I guess Beck never heard of the Young Democrats and Young Republican organizations ,both of which conduct camps .Quote:

From his own manifesto, Breivik claims Darwin and science as his "religion." He then indentifies he's "christian" (lower case my emphasis) in the context of European culture.
From the manifesto :
"As for the Church and science, it is essential that science takes an undisputed precedence over biblical teachings. Europe has always been the cradle of science, and it must always continue to be that way. Regarding my personal relationship with God, I guess I'm not an excessively religious man. I am first and foremost a man of logic. However, I am a supporter of a monocultural Christian Europe.“
Breivik is a product of the left's secular humanist education and culture. Breivik represents everything that "killed" Europe in the first place. One might argue, like Hitler, Breivik is a facist(National SOCIALIST) who wants to use "grand" memories of Europe to foster a "revival" of the holy Roman empire. He being the Knights Templar protector of the Empire.
More from the manifesto :
Q: Do I have to believe in God or Jesus in order to become a Justiciar Knight?
A: As this is a cultural war, our definition of being a Christian does not necessarily constitute that you are required to have a personal relationship with God or Jesus. Being a Christian can mean many things;
- That you believe in and want to protect Europe's Christian cultural heritage. The European cultural heritage, our norms (moral codes and social structures included), our traditions and our modern political systems are based on Christianity -Protestantism, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and the legacy of the European enlightenment (reasonis the primary source and legitimacy for authority).
It is not required that you have a personal relationship with God or Jesus in order to fight for our Christian cultural heritage and the European way. In many ways, our modern societies and European secularism is a result of European Christendom and the enlightenment. It is therefore essential to understand the difference between a "Christian fundamentalist theocracy" (everything we do not want) and a secular European society based on our Christian cultural heritage (what we do want). So no, you don't need to have a personal relationship with God or Jesus to fight for our Christian cultural heritage. It is enough that you are a Christian-agnostic or a Christian atheist (an atheist who wants to preserve at least the basics of the European Christian cultural legacy (Christian holidays, Christmas and Easter)). The PCCTS, Knights Templar is therefore not a religious organisation but rather a Christian "culturalist" military order.
This scum is the Hitler youth Glenn Beck... not the kids in the political summer camp.
Sorry Tom but I object to this fellow being thought of in a Christian context, He is not even a cultural christian he just thinks having a christian culture is a good idea probably in a historical context, but his actions place him outside of christian thinking. The reason Europe has Muslim problem is its christian culture which is charitable towards the disadvantaged. If it had a Muslim culture Christian immigration would not be permitted. Just because Nazi soldiers had a Christain inscription on their belt buckle didn't make them christians and what this fellow is a some sort of nazi soldier bent on exterminating what he doesn't like. In any case we don't know what he really thinks becaue he has lifted his manifesto from another anarchist
I didn't say I agree with him.. You are quite correct in your assessment that the guy is as mad as a hatter .
I see more Charles Manson in this idiot . Both tried to spark a larger conflict .
Just reading the few snippets of what people have posted of his writings HERE, let alone what I've read elsewhere... the guy is CLEARLY insane.
Just downright effing lunatic. To try and clump him in with any movement (religious OR political) merely because he claims those things is insane. Be intelligent, look at this guy's mentality, and decide for yourself. (stop listening to what the talking heads are saying, for the love of pete!)
EDIT--I mean talking heads as in news anchors... never stop listening to david byrne.
Hello again,
I don't believe he's a CHRISTIAN terrorist, either... I think he has POLITICAL objectives... I brought up the accusations so that you might see, that the Muslims who attack us, MIGHT not do it because of their religion... In fact, I think they take exception to our locking them away forever with NO trial.. I don't think they liked it too swell when we were torturing them either, and oh, yeah, they probably don't like being droned... I don't think the Iranians liked it when WE overthrew their elected leader and put in our own guy...
Yeah, we're screwing 'em over pretty good and I think they take exception to it.. While I believe there are plenty of Muslim terrorists, there's plenty of POLITICAL terrorists who HAPPEN to be Muslim..
excon
OK Ex Muslim terrorists may not attack the US because they are Muslim but it is a fair bet they have been goaded into it by activists who are. Over the last fifty years we have had various terrorist groups; the PLA; violently opposed to Israel a political response but goaded on by extremist MUSLIM GROUPS, Hezbollah; Muslim or just Lebanese? Hamas; Muslim or just Palastinian? Gaddafi; who knows what his beef was but Muslim. Al Qaeda; Muslim or just Arab? The Taliban; Muslim or just Pashtu? The list goes on. All right I'll grant you the unibomber wasn't Muslim, the Norwegian nutjob wasn't Muslim and the Red Brigades weren't Muslim but a large number of these groups have objected to US foreign policy. So if it isn't the Muslims stirring them up what I say is ask your government to suck its scone in!Quote:

PS> (edited) When you say it's their RELIGION that makes them pissed off at us, it allows you to overlook just how terrible we've been to them.
We understand Christianity very well and can say with plenty of conviction that Breivik is NOT Christian.
Do we know Islam so well? Perhaps Al-Qaeda manipulates the meaning of Allah's word and the Quran in the same way Breivik, and Westboro church, do the bible.
I don't know a whole lot about Islam, I'll be honest. I have attended a lecture by an Islam scholar who brought up many points from the Quran that show Al-Qaeda is either very misguided in their reading of the holy works, or they are just flat out manipulating a good thing for their evil causes.
I certainly see Excon's point, here. It's the same point we were making, except he is extending it to Al-Qaeda.
Funny, that I'm the one supposedly with my eyes closed and you can't connect Islam and terrorism using the words "The Entire Earth Must Be Subjected to Islam."Quote:

People are smart and resourceful. When they see something powerful like a holy book that is read and revered by millions (if not billions) of people, they CAN and WILL find a way to use that power to do evil. It's a common theme in religion... but that doesn't make those who truly follow its tenants bad, or evil. It's particularly ignorant of someone to prosecute someone by comparing them to an evil person who so happened to take advantage of his or her religion.

So, by MY reckoning, there's only small factions of Muslims who think that way... SA got it right in that, I'm SURE they distort Islam, kind of the way Westboro Baptist Church distorts Christianity...
I suppose I COULD say Christians (speaking of Westboro - but INCLUDING you) are fanatical, radical, and their RELIGION makes them NUTS. I COULD say that, but it wouldn't be true, would it?

Once again, jahidists are just manipulating the word for their evil.
But really, there have been TONS of Christian terrorists... we can start with the crusades, move over to India, and then to Northern Ireland, take a stop in Kansas, and then head on over to Norway. I missed A LOT in there.
