One question I keep hearing reporters asking officials is "Has this man been motivated to do this by right-wing extremist views or his he simply a Madman?"... Is it just me or is this question ridiculous? - He's clearly insane in the sense that he is a danger to society, and in my opinion his personal views are all but irrelevant.
I find this view interesting.

When Muslim organizations shoot people, or blow something up, or carry out acts of sabotage, or call in threats, they're called terrorists. As was the case here.

Then it became clear he's a white, Norwegian, right-wing fundamentalist Christian, and then all of a sudden the act was no longer to be viewed a politically/religiously motivated terrorist act, but just a senseless killing spree by a madman.

Sorry, but this guy wrote a 1500 page book outlining his views. He planned the attack for eight years. If this attack was not a political terrorist act, then neither was 9/11 or Oklahoma or 7/7 or USS Cole.
