The trial of the Norwegian terrorist extremist, Anders Breivik has begun in Oslo, Norwat. Breivik took the lives of 77 innocent people, mostly teenagers. His first attack, in the Labour government, killed eight people in Oslo. After this he drove to Utøya island, to a youth camp and open fired on children. The evil man believed that he was doing good, that he is a foot soldier in a war against Islam and multiculturalism. It is his belief that his attack was the first in a war that will drive Muslims from Norway and Europe.
Besides admitting to having carried out the attacks he denies first degree murder and claims self-defence. He began his case with a salute to the far right.
Although Breivik will almost certainly be convicted, the trial does have one potential benefit for him, as a platform to air his views. To limit this Norwegian authorities are restricting cameras in court to minimise any effect of his words.
Breivik is such an extremist that his words may not touch many but he only needs to inspire one that can kill many more people. We must suppress his voice, he should not be heard.
