The man alleged to be responsible for Norway’s horrific killing spree, Anders Behring Breivik (pictured), where at least 93 people are believed to have been killed, will appear in court on Monday and wants the world to hear his side of the story there.
Breivik has confessed to the bombing in Oslo and the mass shooting at a youth camp on Utoya island, but still denies any criminal responsibility.
Instead, the man labelled by the press as an ‘evangelical Christian’ is expected to plead not guilty in court, telling his lawyer the atrocities had been "gruesome but necessary.”
Breivik claimed he "wanted to start a revolution in Norwegian society to defeat liberal immigration policies and the spread of Islam."
It has also come to light that Breivik published online a 1,500-page manifesto hours before he began his killing spree. In this document, he refers to attending events organised by the far rights movement, The Knights Templar.
Breivik also said he had been planning the attack since 2009, while ranting against European liberal elites whom he believes betrayed their Christian heritage by promoting multiculturalism.
Breivik has also in the past blogged about his disgust for the modern church, saying:
"Today's Protestant church is a joke. Priests in jeans who march for Palestine and churches that look like minimalist shopping centres. I am a supporter of an indirect collective conversion of the Protestant church back to the Catholic."
