Anders Behring Breivik - The Reaaally White Bin Laden
Well.
I appears Anders Behring Breivik was unhappy with the pace of Islamic immigration into Norway.
So, brave man that he is, he detonates a car bomb amidst scores of innocent people, killing 8 in the centre of Oslo, Norway.
And then, just to make his point that he truly is a coward in the worst sense of the word, he disguises himself as a police officer and walks into a Youth Camp and opens fire, killing 85 unarmed children and adolescents attending a youth camp.
Of course, when adults showed up with weapons, Anders quickly surrendered.
Impressive.
Truly impressive.
Look.. I have my own concerns about the tendency for the western world to bend all over backwards not to appear "politically incorrect" by doing more to demand acceptance of broad concepts of equality, freedom and tolerance from some of our newer Islamic immigrants.
Because your former culture accepted "honor killings" doesn't require us to accommodate that in our culture.
But here's the thing of it. If your ideas, if your views, have any "truth" to them, over time, you will be able to secure fellow citizens to acknowledge and accept your point of view and seem to effect change through sheer numbers. Even in places like Egypt and Libya - let alone Norway.
So.
The most ironic thing is that while Anders Breivik suggested in a rambling manifesto that he was acting out against Islamic influence in Europe, in fact, what he has shown is that he is a text-book disciple of Osama Bin Laden.
He is a man who does not have the ability to motivate sufficient interest in his archaic and simple-minded goals to effect change through political means.. so he chooses to try and force people to listen to him and pay attention through murdering innocent people.
And then, after you've killed scores of innocents, you cower.
They are, truly, men cut of the same cloth.
As are all terrorists.
Because while the word "terrorist" is thrown around with alacrity every time someone doesn't like what someone else has done - particularly if it involves the use of violence - in fact terrorism can simply be distilled to this one thought:
Democracy doesn't work for me.
Effecting change through peaceful means, over time, isn't acceptable. Instead, I choose to kill unsuspecting people, usually innocent civilians, because ONLY through this sort of extreme act can I get anyone to pay attention to my moronic point of view.It's a pity that they can't end Anders Behring Breivik like they did Bin Laden.
A quick, quiet death followed by an anonymous dumping into the sea.
**P.S. While the Courts in Norway have put a gag order on any disclosure of Court process to prevent Breivik from spreading his thoughts - it strikes me that just makes him more of a martyr. Let him speak. Disclose his ignorance to all to openly critique - the path to truth is not ignorance and silence.
Oh.
By the way.
This Breivik guy reminds me of someone else.. but I just can't put my finger on it..
Oh yeah.

I also think they look alike. What gets me is that he could shoot and kill for 90 minutes and there wasn't one person brave enough to say, Lets Roll.
Reminds me of the killing in Que, men just walked away.
Though, in fairness Mary, it sounds like most of the people would have been children or young people - so many may have been frantically tryign to protect or remove children from the area before confronting the gunman.. and while I agree that it seems that someone should have confronted him, easy to judge what OTHER people do when they're getting fired upon and have no weapons of their own.
Would I have tried to take him down? I can't honestly say I would.
Apparently a German tourist nearby heard the shots and took his motorboat across to try to save as many as he could. As the story goes, he only stopped his work when told to by the police.
