Projecting Further

So, presumably we must add, to those hate-mongers Robert Spencer, et al. who are held partly responsible for the monster Breivik:
  • World of Warcraft - because Breivik played it a lot. I mean, a lot! And it's violent. In that you can kills things. Like almost every other computer game.
  • Clint Mansell - because Breivik liked one of his tracks - it gave him courage, or something.

Don't hold your breath. Well, WoW might get a bit of heat, like computer games do every now and then. And Clint might be feeling a little hot under the collar, having his name written in the same sentence as the Norwegian mass murderer.

But as others are already pointing out, the focus will ultimately fall on those who agree with much of Breivik's view of the decline of the West and the danger of Islam, no matter how much they reject his belief that murder is the answer.

UPDATE: Two more sources of influence in the life of Breivik:

  • Al Qaeda
  • Wikipedia

I'm not sure which scares me more.
