发帖数: 901 | 1 In his 1,500-page manifesto, confessed Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring
Breivik claimed allegiance to a resurrected version of the Knights Templar,
a medieval formation of Christian soldiers who waged brutal battle against
Islam for control of the Holy Land and its relics. Breivik also wrote
favorably of the mentorship of a British man known as "Richard (the
Lionhearted)," who he credits for imparting to him the secrets of the
Templar tradition.
In an exclusive report, AP correspondent Simon Haydon writes that he has
located "Richard," whose actual name is Paul Ray, living in exile in Malta.
In an interview with Haydon, Ray confirmed that he is associated with "a
loose group of anti-Islamic extremists inspired by the Knights Templar," but
denied that Breivik was associated with the group, or that he had served as
Breivik's mentor.
"My thoughts are the same ... that there is a threat to our way of life from
Islam. I'm not going to say I don't think there is, because I do," Ray told
Haydon. Ray writes an anti-Muslim blog called "Lionheart" after King
Richard I of England, who lead 12th-century Christian crusades. |
