The assassin kept a diary about his anti-Muslim convictions. I don't want to blame the right wing organizations and Christianity for these horrible crimes, as I never blamed Islam for the horrible crimes of Al Qaida. As I never blamed the left wing organizations for the horrible crimes of the Red Brigades.

I want only to say that anti-Muslim phobia leads to a much larger phobia, against the core values of our democracy, against tolerance and multiculturalism.
