Bill O’Reilly was not
pleased with the New York Times’ labeling of
Anders Behring Brevik, the 32-year-old mass
murderer who took at least 76 innocent lives
as a "Christian Extremist." In his column,
he notes that the “killer is not attached to
any church, has no history of Christian
activity, has openly criticized the
Protestant philosophy, and has committed
acts counter to all Christian teaching.”
“Anders Brevik did not kill in the name of
Jesus,” O’Reilly argues. “He was not a
member of a Christian-based al-Qaida-like
group. He was not funded by Iran or enabled
by Pakistan. He is simply a murderer, a man
devoid of any spiritual conscience. A direct
descendent of Cain. Yet, somehow, Brevik is
now a member of a peace-loving,
compassionate group, at least according to
some media. He's a Christian.”
“The left well understands that Christian
opposition to things like abortion, gay
marriage, and drug legalization makes those
liberal causes more difficult to achieve,”
O’Reilly concludes. “Thus, anything that
diminishes Christianity is fair game to be
promoted. Every newsworthy sin committed by
a Christian is highlighted with a sneering
reference to hypocrisy. Any whiff of
Christian intolerance is celebrated in the
press.”
