A Jihad by Muslim Women against Violence


By Souad Mekhennet
LONDON — Unsurprisingly, the horrific attacks of Anders Behring Breivik, the far-right Christian extremist in Norway, have stirred powerful debate among the estimated 44.1 million Muslims in Europe.
Although most of his 76 victims were at a Labour Party youth camp, Mr. Breivik made clear that his real targets were Muslims, and what he sees as their insidious infiltration of a Christian continent.
Those who frequent password-protected Web sites, mainly used by supporters of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, are fuming that Mr. Breivik’s acts constitute a “crusade” against Islam and declare that it is the responsibility of each Muslim to be prepared.
