Norway suspect borrowed from Unabomber's manifesto
DENVER (AP) — Parts of the manifesto written by the suspect in Norway's terrorist attack were taken almost word for word from the writings of "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski.

The passages copied by Anders Behring Breivik appear in the first few pages of Kaczynski's manifesto. Breivik changed a Kaczynski screed on leftism and what he considered to be leftists' "feelings of inferiority" — mainly by substituting the words "multiculturalism" or "cultural Marxism" for "leftism."

For instance, Kaczynski wrote: "One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general." Breivik's manifesto reads: "One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is multiculturalism, so a discussion of the psychology of multiculturalists can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of Western Europe in general."
...
He used at least one portion verbatim: "Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as capable as men."

4. Also a reverse mirror of Bin Laden's "logic"
In that the same "reasoning" blames the opposite targets of Bin Laden's hatred for his actions.

Fundies resort to such diatribes, no matter what their faith or political base, to justify mayhem.

Sick -- yet always with us throughout history on all sides.

Now it is easier, in that you can get your hands on a gun or bomb making materials and instructions, even if you are just a seemingly law abiding citizen hiding in plain sight.
