I would appreciate your comments on the article.
I think the author is quite brave, as this is sure to be an unpopular theory amongst the “intelligentsia”.
BTW - “”Allahu Akbar” - Arabic for “God is great” “ - no, it is Arabic for “Allah is greatest”. Very different.
That's what stands out for me. You watch his video and it's all the highest minded seriousness...except that he has pics of Muslim Rage Boy in there and other goofy stuff you see all over the interwebs, and then the final slide is that pic of him in the wetsuit with the gun, which is pure action hero hokum. So he's like a teenage gamer dweeb mixed with enough adult seriousness to put his fantasy world into deadly effect.
But this isn't enough to explain him. No doubt there are lots of adult gamer types with a conservative bent who believe exactly as he does, but who would never in a million years do what Breivik did. So I come back to his being a nut. He's got a major screw loose somewhere that sets him apart from the rest, and which makes it pointless to extrapolate some kind of trend from him. He is a spurious data point with no real relation to a larger pattern.
Great piece on Breivik by Timothy Dalrymple here, btw.
If he were rationally thinking, but a stone cold killer, not mentally ill just evil, then why not post PRO Muslim rantings saying you are part of some muslim terrorist organization, and then attack the ruling class left, creating a Muslim backlash? His writings show he's either a complete psycho or actually a leftist! No Christianity or conservatives involved!
BTW, I think that will be the next route of the liberal mind. You are already seeing fake Tea party candidates, etc. While the left is mentally ill for the most part, theere are some still rational enough to do this.
Interesting and probably right.
