Leftist crazy talk is everywhere

  Perhaps it's the dog days of summer that are affecting people's behavior.
  Crazy talk is everywhere. I'm not going to link to it since it's easily found everywhere.
  A crazy guy in Norway apparently quotes from some American bloggers, et al, and now libs and MSM but I repeat myself are claiming, just as they did after the Gabby Giffords shooting, that conservatives are responsible for the Norway murders.
  Immediately, then, Muslims (because the shooter was anti-jihad which makes a lot of sense since he went on a jihad himself) have become victims though, at this point, it does not appear any Muslims were killed or wounded.
  Probably the most incisive commentary so far on this heinous crime and its consequences is written by Mark Steyn over at NRO. This is just a bit of Steyn:

Nevertheless, Breivik’s manifesto seems to be determining the narrative in the anglophone media. The opening sentence from USA Today:

Islamophobia has reached a mass murder level in Norway as the confessed killer claims he sought to combat encroachment by Muslims into his country and Europe.

So, if a blonde blue-eyed Aryan Scandinavian kills dozens of other blonde blue-eyed Aryan Scandinavians, that’s now an “Islamophobic” mass murder? As far as we know, not a single Muslim was among the victims. Islamophobia seems an eccentric perspective to apply to this atrocity, and comes close to making the actual dead mere bit players in their own murder. Yet the Associated Press is on board: 

     Security Beefed Up At UK Mosques After Norway Massacre.

But again: No mosque was targeted in Norway. A member of the country’s second political party gunned down members of its first.

  Lots of accusations are being hurled against any blogger who initially claimed that the murders were probably jihadists. Go figure. Who would make that connection. Huh.
  Powerline pushes back against the leftist accusations and mockery of those who assumed it was jihadists:

Was that wrong? Not at all. Any time mass murder attacks take place, it is not just likely but highly probable that they are the work of Muslim jihadists. Over the last several decades, jihadists have launched hundreds if not thousands of terrorist attacks. They dwarf, in numbers, similar outrages perpetrated by anyone else. That is why, whenever a bomb kills innocent bystanders or an armed man guns down children, the first thing everyone thinks is that it likely will prove to be another instance of Islamic terrorism

  It was interesting that everywhere in headlines when the murders first happened, the words "Christian" and "conservative" were in many headlines describing the shooter. "Anti-Islamic" shooter was another word used.
  As Steyn says, "Muslims are now the preferred victims even in a story in which they are entirely absent." How careful are the headline writers not to include the word Muslim murderers in their titles.
  So numerous conservatives are named in the shooter's manifesto (in addition to Obama), which apparently means that conservatives are guilty of...something. Again. Without having done anything or used the kind of murderous language common among leftists.
  Pamela Geller at AtlasShrugs (another writer accused of inciting the Norwegian shooter) wonders who altered his Facebook page to include the words "Christian" and "conservative."
  In fact, she has screen shots of both Facebook pages. Some dark conspiracies are emerging about that particular deal.

Did he have two different Facebook pages, one in Norwegian and one in English, and he only identified himself as a Christian and a conservative on the English one? Or did he pause from his murder spree to add "Christian" and "conservative" to his Facebook profile? Or maybe the whole page is a fake, as has been reported here.

But in the case, who faked it, and why? Who is so anxious to portray Breivik as a Christian and conservative? And if this was faked, can we trust any of the material that is now being released about Breivik being anti-jihad?

  This is the way the page looked the day his name was announced. Geller has a picture of the reworked page. 

  We'll have to wait to see these issues resolved. 

  Meanwhile the fight continues.

  Oh, and, btw, the word fight is not to be taken literally.

  Most sane people would be able to figure that out.

UPDATE: It should be noted that Christianity is a religion of peace. The shooter identified himself as "Christian," but there is a difference in identification as "Christian" and "Christian identity," as Verum Serum points out and concludes in this piece:

I know the distinctions made here will hold little interest for many, however I think it may come as a relief to many religious Christians that Anders Breivik did not place himself among their ranks. He does not have a “personal relationship” with God in the protestant tradition. On the contrary, he describes himself as practical, secular, and not very religious.

Again, Breivik does label himself “Christian”, but that Christianity is of the Christian Identity variety, i.e. having to do with certain cultural norms and traditional holidays. To call him a “fundamentalist” as some news outlets have done is simply false. In fact, he has little in common with the explicitly religious Christianity taught and practiced in Christian churches around the world each Sunday.
