Islamophobia doesn't end with Breivik report

The Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has been declared insane in a psychiatric report presented on Tuesday. Breivik was in a "psychotic state" when he carried out the bomb attack and the massacre on the Island of Utøya that left a total of 77 dead, according to the report. But that changes nothing in the ideology behind the killing, the left-liberal tabloid Aftonbladet writes: "No one believes that all those who are diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia want to kill Muslims and young social democrats. And no one believes that everyone who shares Breivik's world view suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. ... But Islamophobic hate ideology won't simply disappear just because Breivik will go to a hospital instead of a jail. This ideology existed before any shots were fired on Utøya, and it continues to exist. Our attention must not wane."
