What the terrorist attack in Norway could have meant

"Nothing justifies Terrorism... or murder," Captain America.
"Terrorist? That's just what the big army calls the little army," Wolverine.

As the terrorist killing spree in Norway was unfolding, blogs and media sites broke with news of another muslim terrorist attack. Pam Geller, Robert Spencer, Free Republic, David Horowitz, Erick Erickson at Red State, Michelle Malkin, R. Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Andrew Breitbart and others were happy. Here was another 911 for them to exploit. Yet again the Rightwing message about islam and muslims would be proven correct. Yet again being a liberal pluralist multicultural nation which allowed freedom of religion to all would be no defense against muslim terrorists. Herman Cain's idea that mosques can be banned in America would gain traction.

It would be nothing less than a quickening for the conservative stance of war and intolerance and a "bloody shirt" to wave against those who would deny their warmongering. It would be a free-for-all Punch a Hippie Fest all across the Rightwing Universe.

And then it all feel apart. Like a house of cards, the foundation for the Right's War on Terror has been built on the idea that there is something especially wrong with islam. That islam unlike anything else breeds terrorists.

As a result of this single Norwegian Terrorist Attack that idea has been shown to the world at large to be nothing more than a bigoted sham. Now, of course, anyone who's the least bit interested could know that across the globe and throughout time people have used faith and beliefs to justify their barbarous treatment of others, but for the past 10 years those who identify themselves as christian or conservative or rightwing have maintained that islamic terrorism is a special problem.

It's a repudiation of the idea that islam has some special unequivocal connection to violence different than any other ideology,
It's a repudiation of the 3 Peter King muslim extremist Congressional Hearings,
It's a repudiation of all the attacks on antiwar Americans,
It's a repudiation of the War in Iraq,
It's a repudiation of Rendition,
It's a repudiation of waterboarding,
it's a repudiation of the idea that Terror must be met with military response,

It's nothing less than a complete repudiation of everything the American Right Wing has claimed over the last 10 years.

Update:
Here's video of Anders Breivik decrying "Cultural Marxism" to Sean Hannity...

Oh, it's Andrew Breitbart, well, there's no 'real' difference between the two...

Update 2:
Here is a story of courage from a man, Marcel Glefe, a Hero, vastly different than Breitbart or Breivik,

The Norwegian christian Terrorist wanted an anti-muslim/counter jihad Crusade?

So, why didn't he sign up and head on over to Afghanistan? ISAF has a Norwegian component which currently leads the PRT in Meymaneh.

Of course, the suspected terrorist Anders Behring Breivik reportedly has a 1500 page manifesto wherein he is mad at 'The Rise of Cultural Marxism', islam, education of women and liberal values.

I'm not going to read the ramblings, but I will note that Max Blumenthal holds in, Anders Behring Breivik, a perfect product of the Axis of Islamophobia the following:

As horrific as Breivik’s actions were, he can not be dismissed as a “madman.” His writings contain the same themes and language as more prominent right-wing Islamophobes (or those who style themselves as “counter-Jihadists”) and many conservatives in general.

And I see that he prepared for this attack; he 'Roided-up, planned to have distraction music (Lux Aeterna by Clint Massell on repeat) blaring if he felt his will/strength/adrenaline rush fade, counted on his simulated training and superior weapons and armor.

And always remember, unlike what Ayn Rand would demand you believe, his perception was reality. He considered himself a culture warrior, a modern Justicar, a crusading knight in the battle for cultural conservative christian heritage. Thus he targeted hundreds of young members of the country’s Labour Party who gather to discuss politics and democracy at Utoya island. He apparently blamed the Labour Party and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg of perpetuating "cultural Marxist/multiculturalist ideals" and indoctrinating youth with those ideals.

While Faux News predictably ran with this must be the work of muslim extremists as Glenn Greenwald pointed out the first reaction by everyone, The New York Times, CNN is to find a angle to blame the omnipresent Al Qaeda. As Greenwald sardonically observed,

Al Qaeda is always to blame, even when it isn't, even when it's allegedly the work of a Nordic, Muslim-hating, right-wing European nationalist.

This fanatic will accomplish much by his terrorism. He's murdered a hundred people, he's caused deep pyschological damage to hundreds more, thousands of grieving family members will live their lives with a giant hole in their soul, thousands more will curtail and self-censor themselves out of fear and those with whom he shares the ideological spectrum will wash their hands of the incident by proclaiming The No True christian/conservative/counter-jihadist/whatever would do these things defense.

The lessons to take away from this are carry a piece and be ready to pre-emptively use it if:
- someone starts bemoaning the rise of Marxism,
- someone on steriods is listening to cheesy faux-classical music,
- you see a blonde christian walking towards you,
- a person wearing a tri-cornered hat is carrying an AR-15,
- you're attending a Liberal political gathering and Andrew Breitbart attempts to crash it.

Because Guns save Lives...

Update:
Over at the Blog Gates of Vienna, the poster "Fjordman", claims the now defunct Fjordman Blog (out of Norway) did not belong to the terrorist A. B. Breivik. When an incident like this occurs and the murderers' ideological structure coincides with Intolerance, the Intolerant begin to parse and walk around the edge of the Ends Justifies the Means while distancing themselves from that which they have wrought and preached.

Here's s snippet of Team Member Zenster epitomizing the I secretly agree with what the terrorist did but know I can't shout for joy: Just now, Europe's Politically Correct Multi-Culturalist politicians have gotten their first glimpse of the repercussions that await further betrayal of their own kith and kin.

Update 2:
So, I know it's Free Republic (one of the worst right wing sites) but the comments are an interesting look into the minds of those who engage in logical fallacies/word games/parsing in order to disavow someone's ideology. Have a look if you care too...
