So tell me, could Anders Behring Breivik look LESS like our terrorist stereotype? Yet when the news broke about the attacks in Norway EVERYBODY thought al Qaeda.andersbehringbreivik

I don’t blame people who jumped to that conclusion — it’s been drilled into us for a long time.

But now we know: he’s a blonde-haired blue eyed anti-socialist anti-immigration Christian radical.

At least we understand HIS paranoia better– we hear it every day on talk radio. But that’s not much comfort. Because it means that we civilians are basically surrounded — the radical conservative Muslims want to kill us, and the radical conservative Christians want to kill us.

Breivik claims there are 80 solo martyr cells in Europe just like him.

So now we’ve got Christian martyr cells. Different religion — same old tactic! One answer for everything: kill civilians.

And it never works!

Did al Qaeda’s killing civilians get us OUT of the middle east?

And these Christian martyrdom cells Breivik talks about — is that what’s going to stop multiculturalism? If you guys are worried about other cultures outnumbering white people, why … kill white people? You should be encouraging them to reproduce.

And if you’re worried about big-government socialism, why would you shoot up a summer camp, which is only going to make Norwegians demand an even BIGGER government to protect them?

I know, logic has no place in a story like this.

It’s just that…if the radical Christians want to throw down against the radical Muslims, we’re fine with that, just don’t use us as your game pieces. We’ll give you maps to each others training camps, and we’ll get out of your way while you go at it.
