#5 Think this tidbit might explain it:


Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he is deported from the Scandinavian country. The indictment centered on statements that Mullah Krekar -- the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam -- made to various news media, including American network NBC.

You shouldn't insult the Amish like that, NS. It was obviously Lutherans.

#13 Now there's a mass shooting by a guy dressed as police there at a Labour Party youth camp. Wonder if the Norse will revert to their roots now and play vikings and muslims.

#14 While government officials in Oslo are saying this is likely the work of Islamic terrorists, In DC Janet Napolitano is reported to have said "I did not know they had neo-nazi militias in Norway" when she heard the news. President 0bama has instructed the Justice department to investigate the Norwegians for possible hate crimes for their defamatory statements about the 'religion of piece' and is seeking sanctions and is preparing a press release blaming bush and using the crisis to call for new tax hikes and restrictions on 2nd amendment rights here at home.

#16 Looks like they also have something else to deal with...

Reports in local media came through of a shooting incident at Utoeya, an island south of Oslo where Stoltenberg's Labor party youth section's yearly gathering was taking place.

Daily newspaper VG said on its website a man dressed as a policeman was shooting wildly and had hit many people.

It was not clear whether or how the incidents were linked.

Five wounded in that...

#18 The initial call is that they're related. Suspect arrested.

Head of Information for the police in Northern Buskerud, Bjorn Erik Sem-Jacobsen, told NRK.no that a person is arrested for shooting drama at the Labour Party summer camp for youth.

V Edkommende was dressed as a policeman when he came to the island. We have great reason to believe that the shooting has a connection with the explosion in Oslo earlier today, says Sem-Jacobsen.

#21 Drudge Report is currently featuring an extremely graphic and disturbing picture from the shooting scene. Very, very disturbing. There is also a link to an NYT article that says "Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack".

#22 This was a severe attack. Being a socialist left oriented country I wonder how they will deal with this. Very open society, wealthy, oil industry all over the world, home of the nobel peace prize. Never seemed to fear such an attack. The young men were said to think that the war in Afghanistan was better than sex. The Norwegians didn't like hearing that.

#24 Sadly, I think it'll still take a few more of these before parts of Europe wake up. They just don't understand that the war with islam has always been a war to the knife. I don't consider islam a religion, it's a death cult. The sooner the world wakes up to it's threat, the sooner it's taint will be gone from the world.

As for the girly boy in Saudi, just because we don't wail and flog ourselves, doesn't mean we have no compassion. Vermin killed human beings in Oslo and Norway today. We reserve our compassion for humans, not the vermin causing it.

Frank Herbert had one thing right. There's humans, then there's people. And while humans are people, not all people are human. They have chosen to remove themselves from the human race.

#31 In April 2011, Alan M. Dershowitz sharply criticized Norway for its treatment of Jews, writing that "All Jews are apparently the same in this country that has done everything in its power to make life in Norway nearly impossible for Jews. Norway was apparently the first modern nation to prohibit the production of Kosher meat, while at the same time permitting Halal meat and encouraging the slaughter of seals, whales and other animals that are protected by international treaties. No wonder less than 1000 Jews live in Norway.[47]

Dershowitz also stated, regarding efforts by Norwegion Academics to institute a boycott of Israelis that while administrations of Norwegion universities "have refused to go along with this form of collective punishment of all Israeli academics... in practice...Jewish pro-Israel speakers are subject to a de facto boycott" and cited this as a reason why the faculties of several Norwegion universities refused to invite him to speak about Israel (although he did subsequently give three lectures at the invitation of student groups). Dershowitz noted that the only other country that prevented him from lecturing at its universities was South Africa during the apartheid era.[48]

In June 2011, a survey by the Oslo Municipality found that 33% per cent of Jewish students Oslo are physically threatened or abused by other high school teens at least two to three times a month (compared to 10% for Buddhists and 5.3% of Muslims) The survey also found that 51% of high school students consider “Jew” a negative expression and 60% had heard other students use the term

#32 The current situation...

A bomb ripped through Oslo's central government district on Friday and a gunmen dressed as a policeman then opened fire at a youth camp on a nearby island, killing 17 people altogether, police said.

In the biggest such attack in western Europe since the London transport bombings in 2005, seven died when the bomb exploded on the Norwegian capital in mid-afternoon scattering glass, shattered masonry and twisted steel across the streets.

Shortly afterwards, a gunman opened fire at the youth camp of the ruling political party on Utoeya island, north-west of Oslo. Police said nine or 10 people were killed and they believed the two attacks were linked. The gunman was arrested.

#33 Phager the Rash2607- Yes they have issues that few are aware of. I understand that Norwegians were used to work at death camps. This is something not spoken of. Why they have this flaw is unknown to me or how pervasive it is in their culture. The mind of a socialism left perhaps.

#34 Latest news: Norvegain police doubts attacks being made by Islamists groups and thinks authors are probably hard line leftists.

As I said in a previos post, body count seemed far too low for an Islamist bombing.
