The media reporting of all of this has been an utter shambles. So quick to point the finger, and low and behold it's a child of hitler, blonde hair,blue eyes who is shooting up innocent children.
Will see a war against any christian fundamentalists? Do people even know that there are christian fundamentalist? or every time they hear the word they expect to see a brown person who is muslim?

Very sad. Yes it is unfortunate that the media was too quick to jump to conclusions. But there in no equivalency between christian "fundamentalism" and Islamic fundamentalism. As far as we know, he wasn't exactly shooting people, with a cry of "IN THE NAME OF JESUS", and how incongruous would that sound. Not only did he not follow the example of Christ in loving everyone as yourself and eschewing violence, he was a Freemason which is wholly incompatible with Christianity.

A lot of people would say this about Islamic fundamentalists though, would they not?

Some people might do. But their beliefs have the scholarly support of a lot of prominent schools of Islamic thought.
Where does it say in the Koran that you should turn the other cheek? There is no concept of Jihad in Christianity. If people took their emulation of religious figures to extremes - what would it look like? What would a person who followed Jesus's Sermon on the Mount to a tee look like, on the other hand what would a person who sought to emulate Mohammed to the extreme look like?

Jesus and Mohammed wouldnt of looked too dissimilar tbh, both would of been brown skinned, dark haired, bearded wearing similar robe type clothing with sandals.
There is more preaching of peace and good hearted behaviour in the Quran than there is of war and violence, jihad is not strictly a holy war against non-muslims as made out by the media.

Not what they looked like, but as the the gospel reminds us from their fruits ye shall know them. Their lives were completely dissimilar. Quote one place in the Quran where there is a notion of meekness, of unqualified forgiveness, of turning the other cheek, of love for ones enemies, of blessed are the peacemakers, especially demonstrated by the Prophet Mohammed.
Now I am not saying Muslims are evil terrorists etc etc. That is a nonsense. And I have my own reservations and suspicions about the "War on Terror".
But, it is undeniable that the theology underpinning the beliefs of Islamists is sound in many quarters of the Islamic world.
I didn't want to turn this into another religion debate, but I had to jump on with all the talk of that misnomer "Christian Fundamentalism"
Again my deepest sympathies are with the Norwegian people.

Stop acting like there aren't VIOLENT passages in the BIBLE... and don't even come with ''it was in the old testament' malark.
The Qur'an states that Muslims should respect their non-Muslim neighbours and should not engage in any sort of conflict with them UNLESS the non-Muslims initiate the conflict. Once the non-Muslims sue for peace, the Muslims are to end all hostility.
Anyways... R.I.P to all those innocent lives taken.
