		<description><![CDATA[By Khaled Diab Anders Breivik’s “paranoid schizophrenia” may have pulled the trigger but he chose his victims through the crosshairs of far-right politics. Monday 5 December 2011 A 243-page psychiatric assessment has concluded that Anders Breivik, the Norwegian far-right extremist who murdered 77 people this summer, was “psychotic” and suffering from “paranoid schizophrenia” during his politically motivated killing spree. The diagnosis has not only shocked the families of Breivik’s victims but it has also divided opinion, both on the left and the right.

People in Egypt take their football seriously, especially when the clash is between Egypt&#8217;s and Africa&#8217;s most successful football sides.   Even though this pugnacity rarely gets violent, it is commonplace on the derby day for fans of both clubs to avoid watching the game with supporters of the opposite side. Even the one family is divided on that football festival. Ahly fans in the living room, while the odd Zamalek fan would watch it with his fellow Zamalkaweya in some street cafe while sucking on a shisha to keep the stress level under control.
