For goodness' sake man, "Fjordman" is called in by the defense, not the prosecution.

I know that and it doesn't matter, nobody wants to see Breivik released after all. This shouldn't become a political trial. I fully understand Fjordman ain't playing.

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
Of course it matters. It is Breivik that wants "Fjordman" in court in order to improve his defense. That's only reason that "Fjordman" may end up summoned.

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
One of the most well known criticasters of islam in the Netherlands is also an arabist (Professor Hans Jansen). Even Hax will comfirm that he knows his stuff. I hope.

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
Yes, Hans Jansen is (or was) basically a great Arabist. The thing is that the way he left Leiden University has set some blood between him and some other professors here. I've talked with several of his (ex-)colleagues and students, which is a pretty interesting story in its own right, but they've all said that apparently, something in him just snapped at some point. They're not quite sure why, but I've heard from I think one of his ex-girlfriends that he always used to love the spotlight. Apparently, he told his ex-colleague Nico Kaptein that he likes being recognised in the supermarket so he can jump ahead in line. Oh well.

A blogger and a scholar isn't exactly the same thing. Does Jensen display an anti-Islamic attitude? It doesn't seem like it. Fjordman, on the other hand, is different.

Fjordman is an extremist he wants all muslims deported, Jansen just says what's what and warns about islam. Which is a mighty good idea. Certainly a difference. I don't think they feel all that differently about islam but Jansen understands that most muslims only care about what is for dinner.

Ellian was tortured in an iranian basement and Jansen gets deaththreats from the extreme left on daily bases because he testified in the Wilders trial, they have very little patience with any political correctness. And I Like that. University of Leiden doesn't.

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
What you perceive as political incorrectness could also be a lack of academic integrity. Which would not be a strange thing coming from Jansen, as he's been behaving the last couple of years.
To clarify: the lecturer Jansen was talking about is an Iranian-born professor of literature (whose name I'd rather not mention directly). He isn't even politically active, he's not a practicing Muslim and doesn't have to say anything about Islam, apart from analysing Ayatollah Khomeini's love poetry. So yeah, that was a bit odd.

Jansen retired some few years ago, I don't know if you knew that.
Let me say that they didn't start it. He wasn't thrown out, he wasn't expelled, he actually retired quite peacefully. I think he's still giving some lectures from time to time.
Fragony, let me direct this personally to you, as you can understand Dutch. Here is a video of my professor of Arabic grammar debating with Dyab Abu Jahja, the local creep from the Arab-European League, about the subject of the Danish cartoons. Listen to what he has to say.

A lot of people were mentioned, yes frags. So, that explains why a lot of people have been called as witnesses. Did Frank Aarebrot have anything to do with ABB? Do they share the same ideology? No and no. Still, Aarebrot believes in the concept of fair trials, so he will honour the court order.
Fjordman/Chubbylittlecurlyhair has made it abundantly clear that he has no respect for the very foundation of western society.

I don't know Jansen at all, but I know Academia - I know about this controvosy and that Bruce Bradly can't get a job in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutrean_hypothesis
Bruce's detractors don't know what he does - that the Clovian stone tools are made the same way as the earlier Solutrean ones - so close it's stupid. When you consider the extremely low insidence of something being invented twice (the wheel never really got to the Americas) the likelyhood this is a co-incidence is fairly close to none.
Despite this, Bruce was not eminent enough to weather the political storm, so now he works in the South West of England. Out benefit - their immense loss.

Goes for the RAF as well but they were not insane. Insanity is a reason to be sentence more mildly and he doesn't deserve that. Mind you, it is not about him having a point on something, what he did has a mind of it's own

My guess is that it's something he hopes he has invented through his actions and manifest. He hopes someone else will follow him within that time.
And considering the ABB love threads at kvinneguiden.no, maybe it's not that far-fetched...

That's a real possibility but I think he's not kidding, something not happening would greatly lessen the impact of the Utoya massacre. He doesn't seem like the type that leaves anything to chance.

So that has surfaced by now? It was to be expected, it's common that serial killers etc. have female "groupies" (even necrophiliac rapists, as shown in the link).
I don't think this phenomena will lead to any to any terrorist attacks though, it is a pretty different thing, I'd say. Some more on it here.
If he wanted people to follow him, I don't think going on a killing spree on a youth camp is a very clever move. I don't see how lying about meetings of an organisation that does not exist yet is going to benefit his cause, either.

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
What I find really weird is, that many people prefer to be sentenced to psychiatric care because the punishment is far less "severe" than the normal prison system. Also chance of reduced sentencing if his mental condition ever "improves".

A) Psychiatric care is not "time-set"... which means he will never ever ever get out.
B) He did what he did as a political thing, to then shrug him off as a psycho totally devaluates (is that a word?) his actions.

indeed. Breivik isn't insane, he's a cold piece of shit but he is not insane. He must be fully held responsible for what he did. The IRA isn't insane, Al Quaida isn't insane, the RAF wasn't insane. There is obviously something wrong with them but they are not insane.
-
Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
Contrary to what HT writes, the prosecution does not believe that Behring Breivik is legally insane. It is a principle of law that if there is reasonable doubt surrounding the defendant's sanity, he shall be sentenced to compulsory psychiatric care. The prosecution believes that the first psychiatric report has introduced such doubt.
The judges may reach a different conclusion, we have no indications on what conclusion they will reach.

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
Oh well, last day of the trial today.
Four more victims have their closing statements, then ABB gets his closing statements, then it's over.
I have to say that I'm very please at how the trial has gone. A worthy showing of a functioning court system in my opinion. No circus, no nonsense. Especially since it's been a tremendous challenge for the courts, since a lot of the dilemmas they have faced are new dilemmas, they don't have much previous court practice to base their decisions on(like what is allowed to be shown on tv, for example). All in all, I'm pleased.
ABB remains a mystery. It's quite clear to me that he has some heavy personality disorders, but whether that's narcissism, paranoid schizofrenia, asperger or something else,I'm of course not qualified to have an opinion on. One thing has been etched into my memory though:
ABB has several times reacted to statements by saying "I have never in my life been depressed", "I have never in my life been rejected", etc. What does it mean? Is he aware that he's telling a lie, and that it's just a pr jippo for his supposed followers? Does he simply not know what "depression" and "rejection" means? Or has he somehow convinced himself that he's never been rejected or depressed? Is he unable to see and/or accept negative aspects of his own person? A colleague offered the suggestion that he has no contact with his own feelings.
As for criminally insane, I am not completely sure of his sanity, and I fully support the prosecution.

Re: The trial of Anders Behring Breivik
A side note:
Earlier in the trial, ABB attacked Lillebjørn Nilsen's "barn av regnbuen", a norwegian translation of Pete Seeger's song "the rainbow race", stating that the song was an example of the multicultural indoctrination of children in Norway. As a response and protest, thousands of people met in central Oslo and many other cities to sing the song.
Today, ABB attacked Sex and the City, stating that the show is responsible for the decline in sexual morals. I eagerly await a response to this...... At least I know what my pick-up line is going to be tomorrow night. :smash:
