Just when you think that an attack has taken place that DOESN’T link to Muslims, it’s been revealed that Anders Behring Breivik, the man behind the bombing in Oslo and the massacre at a youth camp in Norway, had links to the English Defence League (EDL) and carried anti-Muslim views.

Clearly the hatred which is being carried by people like Anders, knows no bounds and can be unleashed against innocent people. In this case, 93 people have been killed. Anders appeared briefly on YouTube, in a 12-minute anti-Muslims video called Knights Templar 2083. He was against Muslim immigration into the country and it seems that his attacks were directed at the policies of the Norwegian government.
We are all threatened by hatred like this. It gets bottled up and eventually needs to be vented somewhere, usually at the expense of other people. It’s time to stamp out this hatred and groups that nurture and feed off this. Freedom of speech is a nice idea but not when it results in tragedies like Norway. Hate needs to be kept in check and any group which is propogating the hatred of Muslims and Islam needs to be dealt with and stopped, fairly and legally. It’s not good enough for governments to sit back and allow this to happen. Unless they want it to happen?
Speak out against groups like this, against terrorists like Anders Behring Breivik. The problem isn’t Islam. It’s anti-Islam.
