There is alot of debate going on right if Anders Behring Breivik was indeed a Christian terrorist. Many have also compared him with Islamic jihadist. Most of been on the left that have made this comparison. Even on the right Michael Savage has made this comparison. Lets take a look at the facts of who Breivik was. We can find this out by taking a look at his manifesto he wrote entitled 2083: A European Declaration Of Independence. The single point I have yet to see anyone hardly make is what Andres says on page 1307 of his manifesto.
"If you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God then you are a religious Christian. Myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God. We do however believe in Christianity as a cultural, social,identity and moral platform. This makes us Christian."
For me the fact he admits he does not have a personal relationship with Christ shows it is not a Christian. This is a basic fundamental of Christianity.
According to Andres his defintion of a Christian on page 1361 is:
"you believe in and want to protect Europe’s Christian cultural heritage."
Just because you want to defend Christian culture does not make one a Christian. Im not aware of any Christian that I know that would agree that believes that would make one a Christian. Claiming your a Christian and not accepting Jesus as your Savior would be comparable to a Muslim that does not believe that allah is the one true god and that Muhammad was allahs prophet. It just simply does not work.
Secondly some have said that he quoted Bible in his manifesto therefore he just like the jihadist who quote the Quran. While he does quote the Bible. As far as I can tell he does not quote it in order to justify the killing of children at the camp. Even if he did try to quote the Bible to justify his actions it would be quoted widly out of context. There is no Christian school of thought that would justify his attack. On the other side you have Muslim leaders and Muslim scholars more than willing to use the Quran to justify terrorist attacks.
I could go on about this but I wont. The bottom line is if you look at the example of Jesus who is the example that Christians are to follow and emulate He said: "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" (Matthew 5:44)
Then you compare that to the example of Muhammad who is the the ultimate example for Muslims to follow. (Quran 33:21) Here is what allah told Muhammad to write in the Quran about unbelievers: "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." (Quran 9:29)
