I'll hold you to that. Alternatively, you can comment on what the terrorist says tomorrow to justify his crimes.
I asked specifically which views you disagreed with. Let's see...

He apparently supported gay rights and Norway's social welfare state.
Interesting - do all right wingers oppose gay rights? I thought you were right wing and supported gay rights? (or am I mistaken here?). Would not his other extremely right-wing views not make him right-wing?
event horizon wrote:My guess is if his views were totally analyzed, he would be further from the 'right' than a religious nutter who wants to turn the clock on society back to the seventh century.
Can you clarify - you're not seriously trying to link this Christian terrorist with Muslims are you? That would be funny - given he's an Islamophobe. He'd be horrified if you were trying to say his extremist views are closer to Muslims than your right-wing views. But, alas, your fantasies aren't in question here (or relevant) -whether you think I am a more extremist religious nutter than you is also not relevant here.
Of the political views of this terrorist, I'm not the one who is struggling to find points to disagree with - that appears to be you.
event horizon wrote:He (a Protestant) does seem to have justified his actions on papal decrees much like Muslim religious fanatics who use Islam's legalism to justify violence.
So, is Christianity to blame to the same extent that you blame Islam when Muslim terrorists attack?
event horizon wrote:I certainly understand Europe wanting to preserve its culture and that makes her no different from any other country that has an official language, religion and even ethnicity, such as your typical Arab country (so that makes Anders closer in mindset to most Arabs, actually).
So, you agree with him on this point. I thought so. The whataboutery argument involving Arabs is weak and funny.
event horizon wrote:I agree with Anders that there certainly is a problem with immigration in the Scandinavian countries. II also agree Europeans need to reassess immigration issues - they should look at immigrants to see what they as individuals can add to their prospective adopted homeland rather than as a destination dump for any person.
Ok, I'm waiting to see where you disagree with the terrorist.
event horizon wrote:I also never diminished his Christianity. I'm simply said his views are varied (gay rights, welfare state) and don't perfectly previous ideological molds. He seems more of a Christian nationalist than a bona fide Christian religious extremist.
So, he's a Christian who commits Terrorism - and uses papal decrees to justify his views.
Unless I missed it, I couldn't see any of his political views that you didn't agree with. That speaks volumes.
