Why do you people care if the person responsible was Muslim or Christian, all that matters is that good people are dead because of the actions carried out by a single moron.

But couldn't they instead prosecute him for each individual murder, or at least enough to get him life in prison?

Well, I was thinking the same thing. But I was just asking. Does a 'pile of consecutive murders' work in Norway? It doesn't in all countries! I'm not from Norway, so I don't know. It's even possible that there never were any 'consecutive murders' in Norway before, at least not in this degree?
Any experts on the Norwegian legal system here?

Hmm, I may be exaggerating his in-game fame, but I'm pretty sure I saw him in trade chat as well. I spent a lot of time on the forum as well as playing so I read a lot of his posts, including http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic ... 585?page=1 when it was created.

Yeah... he's a Christian, he just has to ask for forgiveness and then he's forgiven, remember?

It's not quite so simple. To be forgiven a mortal sin, you have to honestly be remorseful for your actions. It's not enough to say sorry, you have to actually be sorry. Or so I was taught. And it's difficult to imagine how someone could do such terrible things and actually be capable of feeling sorry about it.

It doesn't. Let's hope he tries to plead insanity. That is the most effective method of locking him up for life, and it's worse than prison. He can be punished to 21 + "sikring" (security?). That means that once the 21 years is up, the court may judge wether or not he is safe for society. Then he is locked up for 5 more years, and another court etc. I'm no expert on the legal stuff though.

I'm no expert on Norwegian law, but I'm fairly sure that he can be charged with multiple counts of an action. I suspect there is a Norwegian life sentence of some description.

I am truly shocked. It brings Sun Aut Ex's comments at the start of the thread into a certain state of poigniancy. Particularly this one:

Well if you're going to seperate Venial and Mortal sins, then Mortal sins should be repented of to a priest, and require some sort of penance to pay off. Usually rosary beads and a bit of money. Venial sins can also be confessed to a priest, but don't matter as much. Indeed, they won't even interfere with you heavenly life, except for adding a couple of years to your purgatory clock.

I know. I do not believe hell is exactly like this, maybe not like this at all. I do not think it is possible to imagine for a human being how hell is like, but this is how hell is usually described, so people use to stick to this theory, even though they (and I) know it is douptful that it is like that.

He faces a maximum of 21 years in prison. This is the maximum penalty under the penal code.

He may, however, be sentenced to preventive detention if a prison sentence for a specific term is deemed to be insufficient to protect society. There needs to be an imminent risk that the person again will commit a serious violent felony for this reaction to be applicable. If he is sentenced to a preventive detention he can in theory remain locked up for the rest of his life, and there will be a sort of parole hearing after a predetermined time, usually 15 years but in special circumstances after 21 years.

For his acts of terrorism the prosecution will likely seek a preventive detention with a minimum time of 21 years.

It doesn't really matter because it's entirely made up, but that doesn't mean you get to correct non-Christians who have read the Bible when you're wrong about its contents.
