Well according to past discussions on the "politics" of these countries...that would make him a democrat, right?
I mean, how many times have we been told by "experts" on here that there really is no comparing conservative Americans to European so-called "conservatives"? Actually, we hear that after every liberal socialist gov falls.
So can we then assume a Norway version of right wing would be more in line with a moderate democrat?
Yes, seriously you cannot make some one-to-one comparison in politics between different countries.
It's comical how the liberals are. I've heard people discussing political parties in Mexico and all a liberal can do is try to figure out which political party is the democrat one.
They cannot step outside their reality, their little American liberal world and realize it's not the same in other countries as it is here.
Just like the liberals on this forum, they hear of this guy and immediately assumed he was a redneck from one of Norways' southern Bible belt states and got all his ideas from listening to Glenn Beck --- who the guy probably never heard of.
I can't believe you people are still carrying on these thoroughly idiotic straw man arguments about whether this Norwegian nutball identifies with American liberals or conservatives - as if he had anything to do with either. It seems that many on here are uniquely "special" in their ability to filter absolutely anything in the world into a very child-like black and white.

No. Right wing in European sense means fascism, nationalism, racism, anti-semitism, nazism etc. Its neither comparable with Democrats nor Republicans.
And the teenagers he attacked were members of the social democratic party who stands for everything he hates.
He was a Free Mason. That doesn't indicate he was a very religious individual. They tend to be Unitarian types.
Free Masons are merely members of a business network in a community; it has little to nothing to do with religious belief.
Go to the parking lots of any well-to-do Protestant church in a town with a Masonic lodge and you will often find Masonic symbols glued to the rear of the cars. The most prominent members of the Baptist church I attended, the church elders, basically, were Masons.

That is very true.

Well, I am pretty sure Breivik is familiar with Beck but he was not that influenced by American politics. Still, he mentioned The Tea Party movement in the manifesto.
What is true:
The Bible Belt in Norway is not similar to the South in the U.S. Not at all.
He was not a redneck. He came from a privileged background. Skøyen, the area where he lived most of his life, is very nice and expensive. A house (not apartment) in this area cost at least 1 million USD. The building he lived in is not that pretty but a decent apartment (3 bedrom) will still cost a lot.
Breivik had a Breitling watch ($5,000?). Not uncommon for people in this area. He wore polo shirts and was generally well dressed. In general, a typical middle class man from Oslo west.
Again, you have provided nothing that links the killer to international banks. It is all in your head.
