| Breivik’s Manifesto on Islam vs. “Christendom” as “Demographic Warfare” | |
By Sarah Posner
If you haven't already, go read Mark Juergensmeyer's feature for us on Anders Behring Breivik, in which he compares him to Timothy McVeigh and concludes "both were Christian terrorists." Both, Juergensmeyer writes, "thought their acts of mass destruction would trigger a great battle to rescue society from the liberal forces of multiculturalism that allowed non-Christians and non-Whites positions of acceptability."
Is Breivik a Christian terrorist? Is the central question of Juergensmeyer's piece? As he notes, Breivik was "much more concerned about politics, race and history than about scripture and religious belief."
Chip Berlet succinctly frames Breivik's "core thesis" as "white Christian nationalism vs. multiculturalism."
