Has anyone considered that he commited the shooting to bring to attention his so called "manifesto". I am sure there will be numerous Nazi's and racists hailing his work. The neo-Nazi is on the rise in Eastern Europe especially Russia.
"...The difference between an agent and a Justiciar Knight is that the latter will be willing to
make a great sacrifice for the purpose of proper validation. Now what kind of sacrifice
would be great enough to remove all doubt that the candidate is not a EU/US agent? A
Justiciar Knight is willing to martyr himself for the cause while a EU/US agent will not be
willing to sacrifice much. The entity should demand that the alleged Justiciar Knight in
question surgically remove his [male reproductive organs] and/or execute a fixed number of
civilian children. While this requirement seems morbid, absurd and unreasonable, it is
perhaps the most effective method of confirming the intentions of an individual. Because
why would one of the sides part with a powerful weapon which worth exceeds perhaps
100 million Euros? The party would need to make 100% sure that the proxy is
trustworthy. A government agent could and would never accept these terms to maintain
his cover, but a true Justiciar Knight would willingly sacrifice everything for the cause,
including committing smaller atrocities as long as it served the greater good of our
cause. He would also be willing to part with these body parts in order to confirm his
intent in this validation process. In any case, the entity would have to provide a surgical
team to safely complete the operation without risk of loss of life for the Justiciar Knight.
End note: a CIA/EU intelligence agent with a lethal/terminal disease/virus/cancer might
be willing to agree to this sacrifice..."

What I don't understand is why he shot a lot of young white people. He is clearly against muslims. Why didn't he blow up a bunch of mosqes? What was it about those young whites that he did not like? Are they pro-immigration?

What I can't understand, though, is the following. He seems to have a sophisticated grasp of advertising/propaganda and how to use it; his book has many details that reveal he his hyper-altert to the perceptions of others. Given this, how could he have not known that this act would be almost universially met with revulsion by all sane people, regardless of their politics? How could he not have realized that this would be more likely to turn people against him than to rally the masses? Is this the "mask of sanity" slipping at the most revealing place of all? Or, conversely, was he aware of this, yet chose to do it anyway, for some further reason? If so, what?

First, that yes it could have just been the crazy coming out. There's a good chance that this guy just wanted to kill people, and that the manifesto or "compendium" or whatever you'd like to call it, the politicophilosophical justifications, etc., are just a way of dehumanizing and rationalizing the deaths of his intended victims.

Another option is that there was no mask of sanity to begin with, that the quasi-sane parts of his ramblings were lifted from saner parties than him. Something that lends credence to that potential is that he seems blithely unaware of the cognitive dissonance between being anti-"hate party" (nazi, communist, etc) and purporting a doctrine based on xenophobia and racial hatred of Mid-Eastern people.

There's also the possibility that he himself was brainwashed by some shadowy organization, and that the public reaction to the massacre serves a greater agenda. It would be easy to use someone as clearly (and apparently prolifically) unhinged as Breivik as a pawn. Whether playing on overt disgust or some kind of internal "yeah I hate the Muslims too"sympathy amongst whoever their target audience is cannot yet be told. But my paranoid little mind can't help but wonder if there's something more behind this tragedy.
