Just exactly what type of retreat was this? They keep saying a youth retreat but what type? Was it Christian? Jewish? Buddhist? Muslim?

It's hard to comprehend that someone would commit such a devastating act in order to make a point unless the actor was a Muslim and not a Christian as alleged.

These kids were future leaders of a political party which Breivik felt was allowing Norway to be overrun with Muslims.

He was attempting to destroy the political party he felt was destroying Norway.
