This guy is rolling out not as primarily a fundamentalist Christian, or anything that looks like America's right wing.
He was essentially a neo-Nazi who saw the influx of Muslims in Norway as a threat to their culture and democracy. He also fostered hate towards jews and blacks...but was concerned with Islam at this time because Norway has had such a massive influx of them and it has become a primary cultural influence in a very short period of time.
But other people who are concerned about this viewed him as an extremist. This isn't the way the majority of people who are concerned about the encroachment of Islam in western society feel. I am concerned about Islam..but I have no problem with semitic peoples in general. I don't care if our country changes color to brown, white, yellow...or if the primary religion in the country changes from Christianity to Buddhism, Hindu, Jew....it's the political and physical oppression of Islam that is the problem.
But of course I would never advocate acts of terrorism, especially against our own people, wtf is up with that??? Where does this mentality come from? And why is it spreading? I'm sorry, but I honestly think it's the pervasive attitude that terrorism is ok in some cases (middle east) if people are intimidated enough by the *threat* of freedom and democracy. We have people on this site who regularly support the use of terrorism based upon their view that it's reasonable retaliation against the west. Of course it makes sense that nuts are going to take that and run with it....
Anyway, check this out:
"
One day I had a friend request on Facebook from Anders Breivik. There wasn't anything odd about that: when I was a member of SD I was magnetically attractive to everyone who called himself a nationalist: both those for whom it was a game, and the real extremists. Those were, in fact, the people who drove me away from the party. A machine of hate propaganda pumped through my feed on Facebook. There were YouTube clips of massacre victims, demands that all the "fucking *******" should get out of the country, and far more horrible things."

I have not heard anyone discussing him as a neo nazi
from your own article
I don't think that the hot-blooded nationalists who push this line in the name of the Sweden Democrats, on Facebook and elsewhere on the net, have understood the consequences. But Anders Breivik was one of them.

Everyone who is critical of aspects of our immigration policies must wake up and realise what their endless talk about dangers and hatred can lead to. Even though no one wanted to fuel this terrible act in Norway, that's what they actually did. And there are more people out there who are looking for reasons to justify their actions by being able to refer to what "others" have written, above all on the net.
There are two things we learned on Friday afternoon. One: extremists are found in all groups, and all are at least as dangerous. Two: hatred breeds hate. Never help to spread it unless you are ready to take the consequences. Did anyone – even you people who hate me for everything else, and belong to the far right – did anyone, even you, really want something this terrible to happen? Surely everyone can see this could never work to anyone's advantage.

His point is about people being responsible on the web for the hate they promote. AB's own manifesto contains work by Melanie Phillips, Daniel Pipes, Mark Styne. Are you suggesting they are neo nazi's?
I could not believe the sort of thing I started coming in contact with when I came on the web. I have a hunch about what may have happened.
The BNP who were pretty neo nazi, turned around after 9/11. Opportunism allowed them to go after Muslims instead of Jews and Blacks, whom their hatred towards was not giving much back in the form of votes. Almost overnight they changed from being Jew hating anti zionist party to become what they used to refer to as the most pro Israeli party in the UK. Off they went to the US in search of funds and seemed to meet up with anti Muslim pro Israelis who then started providing the funds and they started the ant Muslim rhetoric against Muslims in the UK, aided and abetted by Melanie Phillips articles, who always just, only just, kept her distance. I have been on forums where zealous pro Israelis have backed the BNP seemingly unaware that under their jumpers all the old timers had Hitler tattoos and the sort.
Then along comes the EDL, even worse as it proves to be just violence and football thugs. But the EDL becomes ever more pro Israel on it's marches. Although they are understandably claiming no relationship he was clearly impressed by them

Now I believe that somewhere within this disgusting make up of hatred there seems to have been a coming together between some just Muslim haters who were also pro Israeli in the States and people who originally had a neo nazi mentality from Europe.
The message from your article is that we should all take care of our hate. We should all take care not to demonise any particular people.
Just as we should not believe every member of far right parties are the same as him, people should get their act together and stop blaming all Muslims for 9/11 ...or god alone knows where that eventually will go.
