Anders Breivik

Born 13 February 1979) is the perpetrator of the 2011 Norway attacks. In a sequential bombing and mass shooting on 22 July 2011

Breivik described his far-right[11] militant ideology in a compendium of texts entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, which he distributed electronically on the day of the attacks.[11][12][13][14] In it he lays out his worldview, which includes Islamophobia, support of Zionism[11] and opposition to feminism.[15][16] It regards Islam and "cultural Marxism" as "the enemy", and argues for the violent annihilation of "Eurabia" and multiculturalism, and the deportation of all Muslims from Europe

Breivik wrote that his main motive for the atrocities was to market his manifesto. Breivik claims that in 2002 (at the age of 23) he started a nine-year-plan to finance the 2011 attacks

Also in 2009 he visited Prague in an attempt to buy illegal weapons. He was unable to obtain a weapon there, and Breivik decided to obtain weapons through legal channels in Norway instead.[58] He obtained one semi-automatic 9 mm Glock 17 pistol legally by demonstrating his membership in a pistol club in the police application for a gun licence, and the semi-automatic Ruger Mini-14 rifle by possessing a hunting licence.[59] Breivik's manifesto included writings detailing how he played video games such as World of Warcraft to relax, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for "training-simulation".[60] He further told a court in April 2012 that he trained for shooting using a holographic device while playing Call of Duty. He claimed it helped him gain target acquisition

Breivik confessed and stated that the purpose of the attack was to save Norway and Western Europe from a Muslim takeover, and that the Labour Party had to "pay the price" for "letting down Norway and the Norwegian people". When an armed police SWAT unit from Oslo arrived on the island and confronted him, he surrendered without resistance.

Breivik expressed hope at being declared sane in a letter sent to several Norwegian newspapers shortly before his trial, writing about the prospect of being sent to a psychiatric ward he stated: "I must admit this is the worst thing that could have happened to me as it is the ultimate humiliation. To send a political activist to a mental hospital is more sadistic and evil than to kill him! It is a fate worse than death."[102]

On 8 June 2012, Professor of Psychiatry Ulrik Fredrik Malt testified in court as an expert witness, stating that he finds it unlikely that Breivik is schizophrenic.

Six hours before the attacks, Breivik posted a YouTube video urging conservatives to "embrace martyrdom" and showing himself wearing a thermal sports top and pointing a Ruger Mini-14.[128] He also posted a picture of himself as a Knight Templar officer in a uniform festooned with gold braid and multiple medals.[129] In the video he put an animation depicting Islam as a trojan horse in Europe.[130] Analysts describe it as promoting physical violence towards Muslims and Marxists who reside in Europe

In the pre-trial hearing, February 2012, Breivik read a prepared statement demanding to be released and treated as a hero for his "pre-emptive attack against traitors" accused of planning cultural genocide. He said, "They are committing, or planning to commit, cultural destruction, of which deconstruction of the Norwegian ethnic group and deconstruction of Norwegian culture. This is the same as ethnic cleansing."

The manifesto urges the Hindu nationalists to drive Muslims out of India

Breivik claimed he had contact with the English Defence League (EDL), a far-right extremist movement in the United Kingdom.[123] He allegedly had extensive links with senior EDL members[216] and wrote that he attended an EDL demonstration in Bradford

reivik has identified himself in a multitude of social media services as an admirer of, among others, the Freedom Party of Austria,[230][231] Hindu nationalism (Hindutva),[232] the right-wing Swiss People's Party,[233] Winston Churchill,[234] Max Manus,[196][234] Robert Spencer,[235] former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso,[159] Patrick Buchanan,[155] Ayaan Hirsi Ali,[236] Radovan Karadić,[237] Srđa Trifković,[238] and Dutch politician Geert Wilders,

Well, some people may see him as a freedom fighter others may see him as a terrorist. We can't make a judgment on this person, till we hear both sides of the story. Media will influence your decision on how the news is reported, if this person is made to look like a criminal, the majority will perceive him as one.

The incidents of 1984, many Sikhs were seen as terrorists but some saw them as freedom fighters.

This is the issue with extremism, it just generates psychopaths.

Flip me, stand on your own two feet, Singhs. If you want to smash some Muslims for the bakwaas they get up to (that happens to be personally affecting your life or someone who seeks your protection) then go right ahead. But don't hide behind these sick, racist cowards like Brevik. That's not befitting a Sikh at all.

Just read up on Indian history and note the chalakhiyan the British (white supremacists if ever there was a group befitting the name) got up to when they went into India; the results of those policies can still be felt to this very day!

Brevik may have had some genuine grievances but he went about it completely the wrong way --- absolutely the wrong way.
