Slighted by Muslims all life: Norway killer

Oslo, Norway Confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik has told a Norwegian court that he was slighted by Muslims on numerous occasions during his childhood, seeming to suggest that these incidents played a role in his radicalization. [caption id=“attachment_331944” align=“alignleft” width=“380” caption=“Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in twin attacks in Norway last year, claimed that he had been slighted by Muslims all his life.”] [/caption] Breivik says that when he was seven years old his friend’s Turkish father wrecked his bicycle and at the age of 15 he was slapped by a Pakistani subway driver for riding on the outside of a subway car. The court was hearing witnesses for the defense Monday when Breivik, who is accused of killing 77 people in a bomb and shooting rampage last summer in Norway, gave his testimony. The defendant’s mental state is a key question in the case, and psychiatrists have given differing conclusions whether Breivik is sane.
