Italy MEP backs ideas of Norway killer Breivik
Just so effing appalled by these people…An Italian MEP has described the ideas of Norway’s self-confessed mass killer, Anders Behring Breivik, as “good” and in some cases “excellent”.
Mario Borghezio, who belongs to the Northern League party, condemned Mr Breivik’s violence, but backed his stance against Islam.
The Northern League is a partner in PM Silvio Berlusconi’s government.
Mr Borghezio’s comments in a radio interview sparked outrage, with opposition calls for the MEP to resign.
Mr Breivik’s justification for killing 76 people was that he wanted to inflict maximum damage on Norway’s governing Labour Party because of its failure to clamp down on immigration.
“Some of the ideas he expressed are good, barring the violence. Some of them are great,” Mario Borghezio told Il Sole-24 Ore radio station.
He agreed with Mr Breivik’s “opposition to Islam and his explicit accusation that Europe has surrendered before putting up a fight against its Islamicisation”.
The Northern League is an avowedly anti-immigration, regionalist Italian political party, key to the governing coalition, and known for its anti-immigrant, anti-Islamic rhetoric.
For the people who are really sick and tired of the hate.
Religious freedom is awesome. Let's just keep it that way.
