Ideology of Oslo attacker irrelevant

Following the attacks in Norway a debate has erupted about which ideology the suspected mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik espouses. It doesn't matter which ideology drove the attacker, the right-wing conservative daily  Magyar Hírlap stresses: "The Norweigan farmer Breivik killed 76 people. And behind this unspeakable horror another shimmers through: the debate about in the name of which ideology the atrocity was committed. The left-wing press writes about a right-wing radical, xenophobic attacker. The other side, the Right, on the other hand, see an anti-Islamic, Free Mason, Zionist murderer. And both sides see their fixed ideas confirmed, both sides are waving Breivik's mass murder around as if it were proof [of something]. ... My goodness, as if it matters! As if it ever mattered. As if it mattered one bit whether someone is killed for racist motives or on the basis of class warfare."
