I do not think so. Terror has no religion and this one was no different. If a Muslim commits an act of terror, that is immediately called Islamic terrorism but that should not be the case. These men,no matter which faith they claim to belong, are terrorists and nothing but terrorists. There acts should not be claimed as Muslim or Christian terrorism. Brevik called himself a Christian crusader fighting to save the Christendom from the Muslim. Does that self appointment by him as a saviour of Christians all over the world make other Christians culpable in his acts of terrorism? There is no way that God fearing Christians can be blamed for the lunacy of this man no matter what he claims to fight for.
Timothy Mcvay showed in Oklahoma, Brevick in Norway and countless acts of terror in Ireland show that terrorism is a tool that people use to achieve different goals. Tamils of Sri Lanka ( who belong to Hindu religion) introduced the modern world to suicide bombings, killed one Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, a Sri Lankan President Premadasa and countless civilians in suicide bombings. That does not make it Hindu terrorism.
The world must understand that Islam, along with all other major religions have lot lunatics, fanatics, totalitarians e.t.c and that no one religion should be called a religion of terror.
One other thing that I noticed during this unfortunate episode was a that the moment it was known that there were bombings in Oslo, 99.99% of western media called it an act of terrorism committed by Muslims without any investigation or due diligence. It remained a major story on all major news networks until it was not apparent that it was an act committed by white Norwegian Christian. The moment it was known to be the case, story started to slip further & further away from headlines. Hypocrisy of the Western media outlets reached new abhorrent standards.
These so called guardians of truth forgot where the fact ended and fiction started.
I leave it to you to make your own judgement on this issue and hope to hear you views on this whole issue.
