> Breivik, unless I'm wrong about it, was not part of a movement trying to dominate the world and install a Christian kingdom, so ISIS differs from the white "movement" in that regard.

The biggest difference is - for want of a better word and I'm really sorry about using that term in the current context - because of their ability to execute. They would if they could, they just can't.



>"They would if they could, they just can't."

And in this simplistic scenario, why would you posit is the reason they "can't"?


Because the movement is comparatively small, does not have a lot of funds and is under relatively close scrutiny already. But in every EU country it is present, in every EU country there are wanna-be Breiviks. The Norwegians also did a supremely good job of not letting him become either a martyr or an inspiration.
