SCANPIX, via Associated Press Deadly explosions shattered windows on Friday at the government headquarters in Oslo, which includes the prime minister’s office. A spokeswoman for Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said he was safe. More Photos » The police said they did not know if the man, identified in the Norwegian press as Anders Behring Breivik, was part of a larger conspiracy. He is being questioned under the country’s terrorism laws and is cooperating with the investigation, they said.

“We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised press conference, adding: “What we know is that he is right-wing and a Christian fundamentalist.” So far Mr. Breivik has not been linked to any anti-jihadist groups, he said.

Not all muslims are muslims?

If, by "muslim", you mean a burkha-wearing religious fanatic, the answer is ..... well, you decide.

The U.S. and the UN will join hands and use this as an excuse to restrict gun ownership for EVERYONE!

Time to take all my short barrels and long barrels to the island again via canoe.

I sure hope it doesn't capsize again....

Utøya is 25 miles from Oslo. You must have mixed something up.

No matter how the picture of this guy is painted, nor how he paints himself, can ‘reason’ attest to for these killings,..he IS a “cold blooded killer”...and we know they can manufacture any story to go along with their killings.

This guy wants and wanted public recognition and a platform to spew his nonesense. If there are others involved, and I do believe there are, we won’t be getting the whole picture any time soon.

I do believe he was influenced by “Dexter” a program he enjoyed watching...which is about a serial killer taking out criminals he thinks to have gotten away with crime.

Furthermore...the rituals and rites into Masonary aren’t exactly small stuff either. For the already deranged this can mess them up all the more....though this guy doesn’t appear to be insane.

We now live in a world where there is no respect for the sanctity of life....killing unborn babies doesn’t exactly create a strong base for the generations to build on what life is. So for them snuffing out humans at any age isn’t a big deal. They bake kids in microwaves...drown them...torture them with out conscious. So not surprising more people pick up arms and snuff out as this guy did.

This and the next generation are far more brazen and bold in what they do...indoctrinated into “entitlement” frame of mind what they want they will get...one way or another. Fame is something they crave.

Here’s an update on search for bodies...92 confirmed dead and more expected.

Latest from Utøya (police spokesman): Search is still ongoing with divers in the water, and choppers in the air. Many still missing.

Breivik’s posts are listed in reverse chronological order. So yes, his last post (from 2010) recommends emulating the Tea Party in Europe.

And the posts were compiled by the Document.no forum itself.

“I think the police have the right guy, and this clown had some twisted political motive.”

“Ahead of Friday’s terror attacks in Norway, Norwegian police intelligence had warned of rising activity in far-right and anti-Muslim extremist groups, but didn’t view it as a major threat to Norway.”

Right wing in Europe (don’t know specifically about Norway) is more or less the equivalent of the right wing here. Maybe you’re thinking of the word liberal and that’s where the confusion comes in.

In my old country in Europe, a liberal is someone who belongs to a right wing party and who is usually pro freedom and pro capitalism. What we would call the Republican Party here. Of course we here in the US consider a liberal someone who is a lefty.

So since you know you have no chance to score with Sarah Palin (and therefore resent her), you're reduced to wanking over pictures of jihadist family women?

Dude, get some *serious* help.

From what I read the cops “” were afriad to go onto the island due to the possibility of explosives and thus hung around and waited. Because of the cowardice, many more were killed, if this is true.

Did you read MestaMachine’s comment above? He was sympathetic to Iran. It seems unarguable that DHS knew about this.

First thing I heard waking up was CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST. My only hope is that this is like the Az. shooting and it is not true that this nut job is a right wing nut as the media first reported in the Az. shooting.

I’m rapidly becoming of the opinion that he’s a ringer who insinuated himself into those circles in order to discredit them. No Christian kills the innocent intentionally. Leftists do, though. They even have cute euphemisms for it, breaking a few eggs to make an omelet and all that.

Right. He listed his religion as “Christian” and his politics as “Conservative” on his Facebook page. Case closed.

And he liked Stargate and Battlestar Galactica. I expect Big Sis to send in the black helicopters to my house at any moment.

I pinged the head of the FR Sci Fi thread I think we are all in big trouble with Big Sis!!!

Now if his facebook said that he likes the FR Whale War thread then I'm probably going to be arrested by the time I post this message!

On a side note, please donate to the FReepathon if you haven't already. This is our HOME!!! Keep the lights running, I know these are tough times economically but I know I'm not the only one here with FR as my homepage on every computer even the one at work! Donate and let's keep fighting zero and his band of scumbags.
