Anders Behring Breivik, the Christian-supremacist terrorist in Norway, cannot get more than 21 years of prison sentence. It means that the accused could be imprisoned just 82 days per killing (A spooky coincidence: He had prepared the terror attacks in 82 days).
Breivik, justifies to partition Turkey between Greece and Armenia because of the Turkish atrocities against these Christian peoples in the past. While he offers such a punishment for modern Turks because of the so-called Armenian genocide, he comfortably supports the Bosnian Muslim genocide by the Serbs.

As Breivik trial started today, a Turkish nationalist who was convicted to kill a prominent Turkish-Armenian journalist, was sentenced to over 22 years in prison. The court condemned Ogün Samast to life in prison, but reduced the sentence to 21-and-a-half years since he was still a minor at the time of the 2007 murder. His victim was defending the Armenian genocide thesis.
Sadly, Breivik and Samast may both be released on parole in 10 years.
I'd like to see them behind bars until the end of their lives; but there will still be an imbalance in justice even then. Maybe they should have been both sent to Texas, Breivik's favorite American state, for the punishment for their crimes. There, they execute poor people without good lawyers even when there is a lack of evidence, but here in Europe, we can't even imprison nationalist murderers for life.
Anyway, such a punishment will only be a consolation, especially for the relatives of the victims; but how can we root out the Islamist, Christian or any other kind of identity-terrorism? What can we do to dry up the swamp in our backyard, instead of hunting mosquitoes around?
