A lot of what I read about this guy claims that he was a an anti Islam Norwegian who supported Israel and was upset by Norway's support of a Palestinian State.

Whatever he believed in he was a pure psychopath, I hope the Norwegians drop the hammer on him.

Remember folks, mass murder is not the way to further an agenda!

I've read a few excerpts from various forums that are trying to correlate his blog/book statements.

 

Essentially this is my understanding:

 

Guy has bad childhood due to getting in fights with Muslims. Believes they are taking over Europe, and blames socialist/labour politicians for letting them in. So he coldly caclulates how to massacre their children at a camp. Hits the PM building with bombs as a diversion, so he can attack the kids at this camp. He wasn't an adherent to religion outside of a vague belief he was doing it for "The Church" although condemns the Protestant church (as he believes his 'good works', not God's grace will get him to heaven). He also cited "training" via Modern Warfare 2 which he expoused as being critical to his training :-

He seems fully conscious of what he's done. He is not 'crazy' in the sense that he randomly did this. It took a cold, calculating psycopath on the level of movie villians to do this.... Not a fly-by-night ruffiant.


Sounds like something out of a Uwe Boll film. Horrible stuff. My prayers are with everyone involved in the tragedy.

 

While there are certain mental health issues which obviously would limit the ability to create effective plans, I highly doubt that most mental illness would have a significant impact on a person's ability to plan, or execute their plan; which is one of the reasons why people who act alone are so dangerous.
