Norway massacre – was Brevik a ‘Christian terrorist’?

The murder of so many young poeple in Norway on Friday was a national tragedy and evil beyond words. What could ever lead a man to kill in such a way? There has been a great deal of speculation regarding the motives of Anders Behring Breivik. Even the BBC suggested earlier on in its reporting that he was influenced by extremist Christian views.

Now that Brevik’s  1500 page manifesto has been poured over the idea that he was in any meaningful sense a Christian is clearly false.  Here are a few articles worth reading or passing on to any who may have concerns that Christianity lay at the heart of such a tragedy.
