By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 03:43 EST, 2 September 2012 | UPDATED: 04:42 EST, 2 September 2012 Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik has been hailed 'inspirational' and a 'role model' by a number of British rightwing extremists. A week after Breivik was convicted and jailed for the murder of 77 people in Oslo last year, a string of messages have appeared on Facebook, posted by members of the English Defence League (EDL) and the National Front, praising the 33-year-old's deadly rampage. In one disturbing post, Breivik is said to have 'sacrificed his life' to free Europe from the 'clutches of Islam... multiculturalism and political correctness'.
