Late, on Oslo
Anders Behring Breivik, the suspect, is a Christian fundamentalist who describes his murders as "marketing" for his anti-Muslim manifesto. I haven't seen much coverage of that. Unfortunately, terrorists come in all religions, as the Oklahoma City and attempted Atlanta Olympics bombings already demonstrated.
