Homeland Security in the US and Europe had warned for right-wing extremism and terror attacks. Everyone watched the loners shoot to kill individual politicians, liberal church leaders or just opponents of their “christian” fundamentalist ideology and anti-immigration profile. Steven D’s recent fp story – Bachmann is the Victim?.
The gross attack and massacre in Norway was planned minutely by just such an individual, now we hear the same right-wing politicians backing off the consequence of their extreme, hateful rhetoric. Anders Behring Breivik was a loyalist to the ideas of Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and Geert Wilders. On their respective websites one can read lame excuses …
Saturday, July 23, 12:16 a.m. EDT: Blogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs is reporting that the Oslo bombing/shooting suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, posted often on a Norwegian anti-immigration site and recommended a post by the prominent anti-Muslim blogger Pamela Geller, who spearheaded the US drive against the planned “Ground Zero mosque.” (We’ve previously covered her activities here, here, here, here, and here.) LGF also asserts a link between Breivik and one of Geller’s guest bloggers, Fjordman.
Geller responded on her own website: “This is just a sinister attempt to tar all anti-jihadists with responsibility for this man’s heinous actions…this is war. And the left is vicious, amoral and depraved. They mean to win, and that is the only way they know how.”

Geert Wilders reaction to Norway massacre
AMSTERDAM – Even PVV leader Geert Wilders is shocked by the attacks in Norway. “Terrible attack in Oslo, many innocent victims of violent, sick mind. PVV mourns with the bereaved and Norwegian people,” he said Saturday on Twitter.
Reports circulating online that the suspect in the attacks had sympathy for the ideals of the Freedom Party, which he calls the “only real party conservatives” would have called. In response, Wilders stated that “the offender is a violent psychopath” and that the PVV “hates everything that this man stands for and has done”.
Europe’s Right-wing terror signals end of tolerance
(First Post) – For instance, the right-wing Progress Party in Norway, the second largest in Parliament, has in recent years gained enormous mass on the strength of its anti-immigration platform, and its espousal of “Christian values”. It argues that Norway’s overly liberal immigration policy is a failure because “it lets criminals stay in Norway, while throwing out people who worked hard and followed the law.”
Party leaders have called for keeping out “illiterates” from countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Somalia, who “are not able to adapt in Norway.” They have also called for a ban on the use of the hijab in schools and the deportation of such children’s parents from the country.
Elsewhere in Europe, too, right-wing parties on the rise, largely as a consequence of the rising tide of immigrants, and the growing realisation that multiculturalism has failed. Last year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel acknowledged that the so-called “multikulti” concept—where people would “live side-by-side” happily – did not work, and immigrants needed to do more to integrate – including learning German.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
