He opposes uncontrolled immigration, is skeptical of social programs and condemns Islamism and socialism.
Far from belonging to a radical fringe, his views - on paper - reflect the views of a large plurality of 30ish European males.
In other words, he is the terrorist the European left has always dreamed of and hoped for. The next time a fanatical Muslim blows up a train, the next time an anarchist burns down a building, the next time a Red Brigade comrade shoots up a military base, this individual will be cited as proof that Islamism, anarchism, communism are not inherently violent - that all groups, even normal mainstream Europeans, have such violent people within their ranks.
The youths supported the Palestinians. The Palestinians have engaged in terrorist bombings and shootings of innocent civilians, including teenagers for decades. To be consistent in their beliefs, the youths must support the persons who did the bombing in Oslo and the shootings on the Island.
In other words, he is the terrorist the European left has always dreamed of and hoped for.

brilliant summary!
...and that is exactly what doesn’t make any sense here.
his older writings were mostly logical. he identified problems. he had 2 degrees and wasn’t stupid.
so WHY did he do this? 3 SECONDS of thought, and he had to have realized, that his plan would result in making the government he opposed, STRONGER.
(in fact, the conservatives were gaining there. the Olso police report that 100% of violent rapes were ALL done by the 4% of immigrants. the public sentiment WAS turning against immigration.)
what he did, will result in the exact opposite of what he wanted. and he WAS smart enough to realize that.
so why ???
