Marc Sageman, a former C.I.A. officer and a consultant on terrorism, said it would be unfair to attribute Mr. Breivik’s violence to the writers who helped shape his world view. But at the same time, he said the counterjihad writers do argue that the fundamentalist Salafi branch of Islam “is the infrastructure from which Al Qaeda emerged. Well, they and their writings are the infrastructure from which Breivik emerged.”
“This rhetoric,” he added, “is not cost-free.”
Just another lone wolf, I guess.
Of course, Glenn Beck has compared the murdered children to “Hitler Youth.” Stay classy, Glenn.

It would be surprising if he didn’t compare them to Nazis. The only people that listen to him are those that are expecting him to say outrageous things that no sane person would seriously think about.
