I remember how most were sure it was an islamistic assault. In the aftermath the press gave him to much room with pictures of him and citations from his "manifest".

Even the attacker of the Christchurch mosque massacre referenced him.

Ban his name and pictures, remember his victims instead.

Banning his name and pictures? On what basis? I guess you're not also asking for Stalin and Hitler plus a whole galaxy of mass killers who've massacred their way across the 20th century to join the list of banned killers? Or do they not qualify for banning because they killed orders of magnitude more people than the appalling Breivik?

Should Breivik have killed more to qualify for banning. Yes, a ridiculous suggestion as with the idea of banning mention of him.

There is probably even more work to do on Stalin's legacy not to mention the others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Great_Purge_victims

Yes, ban their names and pictures too. I'm asking to ban every mass murder because part of their plan is to gain fame to recruit followers and create copycats. I'm against death penalty but not against killing their legacy.

Hitler and Stalin are already partly banned.

And in the news this morning it was called a "drama" or "tragedy", not a "right-wing terrorist attack" as it would have been called if it was done by muslims.

Not defending it, but I'm not sure the concept of "right-wing terrorism" was a commonly known concept at the time.

People commit acts of terror for all types of reasons; holy wars, separatist movements and other political movements, etc. There had been attacks and events in the US for similar right wing reasons, but there wasn't really an umbrella term for this type of event at the time. The fact that this motive is now as commonly known as jihad terrorism is, is rather worrying.

There is a long history of right wing terrorism, Timothy McVeigh committed the deadliest act of terrorism in the US until 9/11.

In Italy right wing terrorists from the stay behind army Gladio committed several false flag attacks to prevent the rise of communist parties.

1980 a right wing extremist bombed at the Oktoberfest in Munich.

Before 9/11 it was one of the dominant forms of terrorism. The movie The Sum of all fears is bases on the book of the same name. In the book the terrorists are muslim extremists, but they deemed the scenario as too unrealistic so they changed it to Neo Nazis for the movie.
