(NewsCore) - OSLO -- Anders Behring Breivik, the man accused of carrying out Western Europe's worse terror attacks since 2004's Madrid bombings, was described Saturday as a well-educated, affluent loner who regularly expressed extremist Islamaphobic views on web forums.
Although previously unknown to police, information that emerged Saturday presented the blond, 6ft, 32-year-old Norwegian -- described by authorities as a "Christian fundamentalist" -- as a hate-filled right-wing fanatic who used his wealth and business interests to prepare for Friday's twin attacks in Oslo and Utoya island.
Breivik set up a Facebook and Twitter account on July 17, posting a single Tweet that read, "One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests."
The quote is a variation on British philosopher John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty," from the chapter entitled "On Representative Government."
On his Facebook profile Breivik listed his favorite books as "The Trial" by Franz Kafka and "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell and his favorite television show as "Dexter," the series about a Miami serial killer who disguises himself as a police forensics expert.
It is understood Breivik impersonated a police officer to gain access to Utoya island, before beginning a shooting spree at a 700-strong summer camp organized by youth workers associated with the ruling left-wing Labour Party. He also stands accused of the earlier car bomb attack in central Oslo close to Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's office, that killed at least seven people.
Breivik recently claimed that politics today was not about socialism vs. capitalism but nationalism vs. internationalism.
He argued on a Swedish news website that the media were not critical enough about Islam and claimed that Geert Wilders's right-wing party in The Netherlands was the only "true" party of conservatives.
Among his other interests listed on his Facebook page were founding and developing organizations, freemasonry, working, gaming, partying and fitness. He described his relationship status as single.
His business was described as buying, selling and managing stocks, project developing and real estate.
Breivik used an organic farming company that he recently established in Hedmark, eastern Norway, to buy six tonnes (6.6 tons) of fertilizer on May 4 from a farm supply company, the firm said Saturday.
