In the wake of the bombing and massacre in Norway, Mathew Schmalz, associate professor of religious studies at the College of the Holy Cross, reflected on the "Christian terrorist" label that the media had given to gunman Anders Behring Breivik.
In his posting for The Washington Post's "On Faith" religion blog, he wrote: "Labeling Breivik a 'Christian terrorist' is just as vague as calling Al-Qaeda members 'Muslim terrorists': neither characterization tells us much about the specifics of either belief system and its justifications for violence."
