Anders Behring Breivik, the 32-year-old suspect in Friday's attacks in Norway, held right-wing views, say police.

Police chief Sveinung Sponheim said his internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views".

On the Facebook page attributed to him, he describes himself as a Christian and a conservative. The Facebook page is no longer available but it also listed interests such as body-building and freemasonry.

The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang quoted a friend as saying that the suspect turned to right-wing extremism when in his late 20s. The paper also said that he participated in online forums expressing strong nationalistic views.

Anders Behring Breivik is the name of the Norwegian man being held by Norwegian authorities as a suspect in the horrific slaughter of children at a summer camp, and the bombing of central Oslo. Brevik is being identified as "right wing," "Christian," and "conservative" -- much as Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner was presumed to be a Sarah Palin acolyte driven to murder by the sight of a bulls eye on a map over a year ago. We shall see if Breivik is as insane as the acts he is purported to have carried out. But for the moment, the left has its fondest desire realized: someone they can brand as a Christian terrorist, proving that Islamofascism is no worse than Christianity.

After initially urging caution in presuming it was Islamic terrorists at the root of the mayhem, when reports came in of Islamic groups claiming credit, we noted that Norway has pursued anti-Israel policies, and that anti-Israel boycotts are popular among certain groups in Norway. I remain skeptical about Brevik, just as I remain skeptical of the narrative that Timothy McVeigh was a "right wing Christian" terrorist. (See Jayna Davis's extraordinary work debunking the official narrative of McVeigh, a cover-up of dismaying effectiveness in this country.)

"Breivik, Rightist Mass Murderer, ‘Atlas Shrugged’ Contributor"

Elise Hendrick has translated a passage from Realisten which confirms that Fjordman and Breivik are one and the same:

I still don't understand how one shooter physically could have shot that many people

... Reports are that Breivik is cooperating with police and wants to explain himself.

It is also unknown whether he had accomplices. Norwegian daily VG has interviewed witnesses of the Utøya shooting who believe there was a second gunman. According to Norwegian media sources, a second man was arrested who had a knife on him. Guardian translates that when asked by reporters why he was armed, the man said, "because there are so many weird people here. I do not trust anyone. " He had dark hair and smiled as he was led into the police car, according to TV2.

Norwegian police detain man carrying a knife

Norwegian police detained a man outside a hotel where Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was visiting Labour Party youths who escaped from the nearby island where 84 people were gunned down.

There is never ever ever any excuse for this kind of thing. It’s a horrible atrocity committed by a seriously disturbed individual.

But…..

"People ran everywhere. They panicked and climbed into trees. People got trampled," Kursetgjerde told Reuters outside a hotel in the town of Sundvollen, near the forested island.

The killer, dressed as a policeman, "would tell people to come over: 'It's OK, you're safe, we're coming to help you.' And then I saw about 20 people come toward him and he shot them at close range," he said. ...

"This lasted for hours," Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told a news conference, describing the killings on the island northwest of Oslo where about 600 young people had gathered. ...

"I saw he had a handgun," Thorbjoern Vereive, 22, told Reuters. "Some people said he also had something that looked like a rifle."

"When I swam out into the water he shot all my friends. He shot them when they were running away. I hid in a cave and had to lie in the water. There were people hiding in the cave and he tried to lure people out by saying, 'It's safe, come out.'"

"He picked them out, one by one. He was mostly silent. It looked like it didn't bother him."

The Voice of America has this headline: Norway Police Investigating Possible Second Gunman in Mass Killings, but the short piece doesn't say anything else about it.

I still don't understand how one shooter physically could have shot that many people, up to 91 deaths this morning, though some would have been of drowning. If this headline report is accurate, maybe it will be explained.

The shootings feel somehow worse than the bombings. It's just heart-breaking to contemplate the whole scene.

This also implies that for the first time in centuries we are the underdogs. There are many historical examples, from the Persian invasions of ancient times to the Muslim invasions later, where Europeans have performed at our best when we have been the underdogs. Perhaps we can do the same once the Multicultural madness retreats. We need to make sure, though, that those who have championed the toxic ideas of Multiculturalism and mass immigration of alien tribes disappear with it. If that happens, we can give our descendants a fresh start and lay the foundations for a new Renaissance, where European civilization can flourish once more.

There is never ever ever any excuse for this kind of thing. It’s a horrible atrocity committed by a seriously disturbed individual.

But…..

Wow. Take away the receding airline and he looks very, very much like my ex.... Who is also Norwegian.

Does anyone else find it weird that it appears he had no friends on his Facebook page and no followers on his twitter?

This is supposed to be the shooter, as he looks now, from the Daily Mail.

Sorry, Ms Daisy.

Oh THANK Gawd.

That is some outfit. The shiny sky blue accoutrements really make quite a statement though perhaps marred by the pen in his suit pocket, no?
