Oh for crying out loud

It's probably already known to you, but I've been keeping away from TV in order to finish some assignments so I hadn't heard, but that bastard who bombed that government building in Oslo, killing 7 people, and gunning down 84 on that island is a sick fuck who needs to be locked up for life. My heart goes out to the families and friends of those killed. Norway has done a lot for my country, and there are still many Bosnians there who were welcomed into the country as refugees in need of shelter. I can understand the impulse to blame the bombing on Muslim terrorist, Lord knows they were behind so much death and destruction; I just wonder whether these kinds of acts perpetrated by Christians with extremists views will be called acts of Christian terrorists??

It said he was right wing but that does not necessarily mean Christian............
To draw that conclusion washes all of us, who call ourselves Christians, with the same brush. Just like it is wrong when someone assumes if there are radical elements in Islam, then ALL Muslims must be radical.
It just means he has extreme leanings.
The article stated:

'Anders Behring Breivik, a blond and blue-eyed Norwegian who expressed right-wing and anti-Muslim views on the Internet'
and then said further
'"He hasn't been on our radar, which he would have been if was active in the neo-Nazi groups in Norway," he said. "But he still could be inspired by their ideology."

I find radical right wing as well a radical left wing
dangerous to society in general as they both espouse leanings which are
simply unconscionable to me..............
Christians do not espouse to Nazi doctrine............

Yes, of course it's wrong. But then the media should either stop using "Muslim/Islamic terrorist", or start using "Christian terrorist" or "atheist terrorist" too. I don't know the numbers, but aren't a large number of people in the West, and especially Scandinavian countries Christians in various denominations? Also, isn't a large number of those who identify as right-wing Christian?

Radical anything is dangerous, I think, whether it's politics, food, alcohol...

***NODS****
Media perpetrates it which leads people to wash us all by the same brush which is sickening.
I disdain radicalism in any form as it denies the rights of others.
Chose what you believe but do not paint me with the same brush......
