"Anders Behring Breivik has described his killing spree last summer as "the most sophisticated and spectacular political attack committed in Europe since the second world war".
The 33-year-old made the claims in a written statement he was allowed to read to the court on the second day of his trial – an unusual demand granted only because he refused to give evidence conventionally otherwise.
The rambling text, which he claimed he had "self censored" out of respect for the bereaved sitting in court, attempted to justify what he had done in the name of "revolutionary nationalism"."" - The Guardian

- He said that "the three most powerful politicians in Europe" shared his views, saying: "Sarkozy, Merkel and Cameron have all noted that multiculturalism doesn't work."
I'm sure those three love being lumped in with Breivik.

Cameron is a Conservative, dunno if the other two are. Yeah, bet they didn't like that either.

Just because someone is a conservative doesn't mean they aren't proponents of multiculturalism.
Its interesting that he claimed he was acting in the interest of protecting white culture in Europe, while simultaneously denouncing this youth camp as being equitable to Hitler Youth. Which is it? Wasn't Hitler's ideology at least partly about protecting "white culture"? Apparently, even mass murdering Neo-Nazis are turned off by Hitler these days. Well, maybe its naive of me to look for logic in the ramblings of a mass murderer.

He's blinded by his prejudices and delusion, and stuck longing for a time when Norwegians were Norwegians and Swedes were Swedes. Those times long gone, and most likely never truly existed during his lifetime.
For him to compare those children he murdered to Hitler Youth is him IMHO attempting to put something that he disagrees with in a horrible frame of mind to justify his actions to himself. Those children were not anything he claims.
