Would you vote for him over Obama?

he's not a USC.

He is a terrorist. Just not a Muslim terrorist, how do we know besides the blond hair and blue eyes?

He was quite successful!

On a serious note, what a tragic series of events.

FYI: There are many blond, blue-eyed Muslims in the world.

Congratulations, now you have two - Timothy McVeigh and Anders Behring Breivik.

Only two non-Muslim White boy terrorists? Only the most ignorant agree with that statement. Your media is dominated by non-Muslim White boys who don't want to admit that their kind can be labeled terrorist, but most of the world knows better.

That would be newsworthy.

Did you notice it was a described as a "terrorist attack" when the media thought it was connected with Islam, but as soon as they found out it wasnt a Muslim that caused it they dropped the "terrorist" description.

Russian Media still calls it a terrorist attack.

It's very very sad that more and more people of different countries experience it. And it's just not fair when somebody desides to kill some kids for political reasons.

True, it is sad, but some people here post articles celebrating anti-immigrant/anti-Muslim hatred in Europe, supporting isolationist Christian politicians spouting vile against non-Christians. So, anti-immigrant/anti-Muslim violence in such proportions by a true believer like Anders Breivik to make a point is no surprise, at least not to me.

But, hey, he's just a nut, an aborration, yes? History says no.

Terrific article on the flagrantly islamophobic press response to yesterday's attacks, and the political hijacking of the definition of "terrorism".

That is a great article, and it echoes my response to Ma that the powers that be in the n-m/WB media simply refuse to believe that people like themselves can be terrorists. The blame for all they do must lie with "those people".

No, what he did can be explained logically easily. It's a very specific nationalistic logic, but...

Somebody uploaded a video on youtube, saying that Breivik had made it before the attacks. The worst part is that if such videos are goig to be made, we are going to see more attacks.

I don't doubt that at all.

I'm sure that doesn't matter to you, and that's a good thing. But, you know the history of this board whenever a Muslim is even believed to be involved. It ain't pretty and there's not much chillin' going on then.

Right. But why should that be of any particular interest beyond its mere statement as fact?

The story brings into the public forum a number of vital and contentious issues, not least our myopic and bigoted appropriation of the concept of "terrorism". If noting that the killer was a white Christian exposes that intrinsic prejudice, I'd rather that than have the media deify him through tedious, unnecessary and relentless dissection of his crime, life and internet preachings.
