Anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments motivate attacks like the one committed by Anders Breivik.

Those sorts of anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim sentiments are so deeply embedded in what motivated his attack and all that. I do understand what he's saying in terms of This guy isn't representative of all of us. At a point well taken. I do think that is a fair thing. If you want to make the argument that insanity has no party, we can have that conversation. No, and I respect that. It's not to say that someone like Anders Breivik is indicative of the mainstream of conservatism, no matter the country. But to say why somebody did something... ...is irrelevant, is to say, I'm afraid of looking at why this person did that thing, because it will unveil and reveal how these lines of thinking, these anti-immigrant, these anti-Muslim lines of thinking... Left to their own devices and taken to the logical conclusions end up in a place where, why don't we kill people? That is the end result of this line of thinking. It just is.
