With the bodies of the victims yet to be buried from the atrocity in Norway my initial desire to allow the families to first grieve and mourn their loved ones before speculating on motive has been somewhat superseded by the considerable nonsense being written by others.
Whoever carries out atrocities of whatever faith or none does so in part because of the perverted form of adulation they believe will follow. When a Muslim carries out an atrocity it goes without saying the right wing blogosphere along with Israeli backed foot soldiers in the EDL and mainstream Murdoch media engage in a hysterical narrative with their terror "experts" who make a financial fortune out of terrorism and security.
When news began to break that the perpetrator of this outrage was not a Muslim but an extreme Christian monster that championed Israel the sense of disappointment by Anna Botting at Sky News was palpable but then given her mauling by George Galloway over bias towards Israel that was no surprise.
LM believes occasionally no comment on the Israel connection is sometimes more beneficial thus allowing those whose views are not clouded for or against Israel to make up their own mind about what perverted form of support for Israel by the monster led him to commit mass murder on an industrial scale and what it says about Israel's legitimacy. People are not stupid so we should stop patronising them and if ever there was a lesson to be learnt from the savage events in Norway it surely is that we all should stop the hate and lower the temperature.
Yes of course it is tempting to reel off a whole list of individuals like Melanie Phillips that the monster quotes and also the appalling remarks from Glen Beck likening the Norway victims to members of the Hitler Youth while visiting Israel. However, why should we who seek to highlight the irrationality, absurdity, and danger of the hate directed towards Muslims sink to the level of our tormentors.
You can often judge a person, organisation or country by the friends they keep. The monster supported and championed Israel along with his mates in the EDL. As a result, need one say any more about the genocidal maniacs that support Israel and should those who agree with the monster's views as distinct from his murderous methods be now called to account and apologise for fermenting the hatred in his and other minds.

If being supported by Christian and Jewish extremists says something about Israel's legitimacy, surely being supported by Islamic extremists says something about Palestine's legitimacy.
