This grainy photo taken from a helicopter shows the killer standing in the midst of the carnage, apparently looking toward his next victim on the lower left who appears to be pleading for his life.
It is horrific. It is evil. It is cause for us all to seek God's face.
By way of the folks at LiveLeak.
In the meantime, the killer is emerging to not be what was widely thought initially:
The Norwegian charged with going on a killing spree in which at least 91 people died is a former member of a populist anti-immigration party who wrote blogs attacking multiculturalism and Islam.
The suspect, detained after 84 people were gunned down at a youth camp and another 7 killed in a bomb attack Friday, has been identified by Norwegian media as Anders Behring Breivik.
Website entries under Breivik's name criticised European policies of trying to accommodate the cultures of different ethnic groups, and claimed a significant minority of young British Muslims back radical Islamic militancy.
"When did multiculturalism cease to be an ideology designed to deconstruct European culture, traditions, identity and nation-states?" said one entry, posted on February 2, 2010 on the right-wing website www.document.no.
"According to two studies, 13 percent of young British Muslims aged between 15 and 25 support al Qaeda ideology," said another entry dated February 16 last year.
Police searched an apartment in an Oslo suburb Friday, but neighbours said the home belonged to Breivik's mother, whom they described as a nice lady.
Deputy Police Chief Roger Andresen would not speculate on the motives for what was believed to be the deadliest attack by a lone gunman anywhere in modern times. But they said the man in custody had described himself on his Facebook page as leaning towards right-wing Christianity.
Blood in the water for haters of Christians the world over. The feeding frenzy will begin in 3, 2, 1...

Indeed. When a Muslim terrorist does this it tells us nothing whatsoever about Islam, but when a self-professed Christian wacko does it, it means that each and every Christian is the epitome of either pure evil, or wanton ignorance and hypocrisy.
The rules are quite clear and simple to follow. And also highly revealing.

Yep, get back to me in a couple of millennia, once the Christians have sufficiently caught up with the Muslims.
