Who Added "Christian" and "Conservative" to Norway Shooter's Facebook Page Yesterday?

While the leftist and Islamic supremacist ghouls rush to portray Norway mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik as a Christian and even as an anti-jihadist, the unanswered questions multiply. Why did a jihad group take credit for the atrocities, and then retract? And who altered the murderer's Facebook page? Yesterday, at the time that his name was released, his Facebook page looked like this (hat tip Vivien for the screenshot):

But shortly thereafter, this screenshot started circulating, of an altered Facebook page on which Breivik identified himself as a Christian and a conservative: (screenshot hat tip Vivien)

Did he have two different Facebook pages, one in Norwegian and one in English, and he only identified himself as a Christian and a conservative on the English one? Or did he pause from his murder spree to add "Christian" and "conservative" to his Facebook profile? Or maybe the whole page is a fake, as has been reported here.

But in the case, who faked it, and why? Who is so anxious to portray Breivik as a Christian and conservative? And if this was faked, can we trust any of the material that is now being released about Breivik being anti-jihad?

Well, let’s see, who would profit the most from it?
Muslim Brotherhood, Obama’s masters, Soros, and the UN all fit the list.

First, any believer in Christ who falls out of fellowship and fails to return can commit the most antichristian behavior imaginable. Being Christian at any point in time, doesn’t imply the believer lacks volition and is no longer prone to exercise negative volition to the provision of God.

Secondly, the fellow watches Dexter, First Blood, 300, 1984, and plays Warcraft and listens to Vocal Trance. If he were never a believer with faith alone in Christ alone and the judgment of all sin on the Cross, then his cultural attractions appear to be very consistent with somebody turned over to the Adversary, possibly demon possessed.

Regardless, if those who don’t believe in Christ are to be culturally consistent, since Major Hasan’s killing rampage is not associated with Islam, even though he insisted it was and he is Muslim,...they should be forced to not associate any Christian label with this murderer.

One cultural distinction between Islam and Christianity is that when one murderer goes on a premeditated criminal rampage, Islam rejoices at his behavior in the name of their religion, while Christians in fellowship condemn such behavior.

Which belief system is sustainable?

This is Norway and not the US. It is Norway’s problem and not ours. Just for curiosity’s sake, Christianity in Europe is hugely different than in the US. 85% of Christianity in Norway is nominally Christian since citizens are just about automatically added to the roles on birth. 81% of Norway is Lutheran, meaning that Lutheranism accounts for nearly all of Christianity in Norway.

European Lutheranism is radical liberal and leftist.

I just think it’s odd to have your kids in a summer camp sponsored by a political party. Sounds like, if I dare say, the Hitler Youth. Politics isn’t always gentile, sometimes it can just be dangerous depending on the country you’re in, and you wouldn’t expect it in a westernized country. Just the same, I wouldn’t put my kids in such a place.

I don’t know if it is a photoshop....because I didn’t exactly view his page. This seems fake to me. Someone did the same thing with the Gifford’s shooter.

Just what Big Sis told us! /s

NYT: Christian Extremist Is Charged in Norway

LAT: Norway attacks: Police probe darker side of boyish-looking suspect Police describe him as a 'right-wing Christian fundamentalist' while friends reportedly say he had begun voicing increasingly extremist views.

>>>Police are focusing on a darker side. Though they said Breivik had no criminal record, they described him as a "right-wing Christian fundamentalist." Officials declined to speculate on whether his political or religious views played a role in the attack.

Friends of Breivik -- a single man who lived in Oslo with his mother until recently -- said he began voicing increasingly extremist and nationalist views, according to Norwegian media reports. He was a gun enthusiast, with several weapons registered in his name.

On social media forums, he claimed to be a disgruntled former member of Norway's anti-tax, small-government Progress Party, according to the Norwegian Nettavisen news service. His postings reflected strong anti-Islamic views and a deep skepticism about the mixing of different international cultures.<<<

Except the “religious” part. Maybe Episcopalean, they’re “gay” friendly.

So, less than 8 weeks before Norway's local/county elections, a member of Norway's anti-tax conservative party, during a trend where anti-tax, anti-EU parties have been making rapid gains in Northern Europe as people are increasingly fed up with bailing out Southern Europe, goes out and commits terrorist acts that could not be better calculated to damage the conservative cause in Europe.

The bankers and EU elites must be drowning in champagne right now.

Smells like Reichstag Fire. Look for the crackdowns and Europe-wide firearm confiscations to begin real soon.

I have been know to have visited fundmentalist muzzlem web sites. So, if I kill someone, it is the muzzlems' fault.

A lot of Norwegians typef better English and more natively than most Americans can

1) Um, begging your pardon, but it is a logical impossibility for non-native users of English to speak or write "more natively" than actual Americans, because actual Americans define what "native" is, warts and all. You've posited an absurdity.

2) Furthermore, the remaining evidences do not appear to me to be dependent on the authenticity of the English used. They are independent lines of inquiry.

3) As for “conspiracy theories,” dumping all concerns aside by hastily applying the pejorative “conspiracy theory” label is nothing more than a way to prevent a dispassionate consideration of all the rational possibilities. And in a time of great political conflict such as this, it is irrational to ignore the possibility of deception calculated to harm the public image of key players in the struggle. It sets one up for serious harm later. Like Kissinger said, even paranoids can have real enemies.

Notice on the English changed version—there are titles of “right wing extremist” type books that just mysteriously showed up? Something rotten in Denmark and Norway too.

RE: everything shuts down in Scandinavia in the summer

I lived in Sweden for a number of years, and didn't realize the library also shut down. I mean, you'd think someone would assume that with everyone on vacation, people might want to read, right? I was so shocked I didn't know what to do, because all I do is read. I had to borrow English language books from my friends to keep my sanity, but it was almost all stuff I had read in high school and didn't really want to read for fun.
They definitely take their vacations seriously. I had a doctor friend who worked in the ER, and he warned not to get sick during the summer because you just might not get a doctor.

Is it true the page was just put up July 17? Interesting how all the pictures, except one are professional head shots.

I noticed that the Page with Norwegian text across the top also has the “add friend” button, as if the viewer were not a friend but pulled up the name on a search. The second page has no such button, possibly pulled up by a friend, yet he has no friends, which is somewhat odd.

I also note that the ads that show up on the right are adds that reflect FB’s targeted marketing techniques, and might infer something about the person who produced the page. For example, when it says “so and so liked this,” its referring to someone on the viewer’s friend list. Therefore, find the list of names in common to each of those individuals, and you will have the viewer’s name. Perhaps. Just a theory.
