#2 Uh...no. Not cool. Unless "one of us" means mass murderer.

This is going to be used by the left to crack down on dissidents. Despite the fact that when Islamic terrorism occurs, it requires tolerance and understanding.

#3 Yes. In the wake of 9/11 the left came out with the usual litany of why America deserved it, accumulating all the perceived and interpreted 'wrongs' it had perpetrated upon the world. Now that the left has a taste of a similar act, do you think they'll step back and engage in the self evaluation that they demand of others? /rhet question

#5 New information. Apparently, the day before the shooting, the youth camp had been addressed by the Foreign Minister, who was met with, and in support of a Norwegian boycott of Israel and backing of a Palestinian State.

(translated)

The Foreign Minister was met with claims that Norway must recognize a Palestinian state when he visited the Labour Youth League summer camp Thursday.

During the second day of Labour Youth League summer camp at Utøya got the Labour Partys young hopefuls visit by Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store.

Together with Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation correspondent Sidsel Wold and Norwegian Peoples Aid Kirsten Belck-Olsen, the Foreign Minister discussed of the deadlock between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

As the foreign minister arrived at Utøya he was met with a demand from the AUF that Norway must recognize a Palestinian state.

The Palestinians must have their own state, the occupation must end, the wall must be demolished and it must happen now, said the Foreign Minister to cheers from the audience.

Earlier this week, when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited Norway, the Minister said to TV 2 news channel that Norway stands ready to recognize a Palestinian state.

"We are ready to recognize a Palestinian state. I await the actual resolution text Palestinians will promote the UN General Assembly in September," said the Minister.

In autumn it is expected that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will bring the matter to the UN. He is expected to ask for UN membership and recognition of a Palestinian state within the borders before the 1967 war, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

On Wednesday AUF leader Eskil Pedersen said that the AUF wants a unilateral economic embargo of Israel from the Norwegian side.

"Labour Youth will have a more activist Middle East policy and we have to recognize Palestine. We have to get the peace process into a new track," said Pedersen.

The foreign minister admitted that the situation is untenable, but believes that the boycott is the wrong tool.

"The boycott will be to move from dialogue to monologue. It will be difficult to open the door on the day that we will talk with Israel," said the Minister.

#6
Regardless of what was discussed at the camp, whether it was boycott of Israel or recognition of a Paleo state, none of it justifies gunning down kids. Kind of ironic, considering that it's what we condemn when the Paleos do it.

No more posts on this. No more comments on this. Especially our 'Canadian' commenter with the bogus IP.

Be warned.

#7 Breivik criticized European policies of trying to accommodate the cultures of different ethnic groups.
Guess Norway didn't get the memo from Mrs. Merkel, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Prime Minister David Cameron in Britain all recently declared an end to multiculturalism. Multiculturalism has failed, utterly failed, The Rubicon has been crossed and there will be a massive backlash against politically enforced Multiculturalism, which was warned against by Powell when he said "I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood.'" which horribly came true at Utoya.

#8 OSLO: The Norwegian charged with killing at least 92 people in a gun and bomb massacre had belonged to an anti-immigration party and wrote blogs attacking multiculturalism and Islam.

Great. Just great. That series of faint pops and fizzes you just heard is the sound of champagne corks being launched across every newsroom and faculty lounge in the Western world. Think your average lefty journo or professor gives a rip about dozens of dead kids? Usually, maybe - but when their deaths serve the central narrative, maybe not so much.

#9 Does anybody remember how the "militia movement" largely died out after the OKC bombing? All the militia types quietly scurried away because they didn't want to be associated with the murderous scumbag Timmy McVeigh. The anti multicultural crowd will now meet the same fate. Nobody wants to be associated with this Norwegian murderer. The people who go on about "recognition of a Palestinian state", as if that's some kind of excuse, will further discredit their side. They are no different than people who go on about "the Joos" and "America's support of the Joos" when trying to excuse Islamic terrorism.

#10 Early on in the event it was speculated that both attacks were focused on the PM, a bomb outside his office, and that he was, or may have been scheduled to speak on the island.

A question exists as to how much planning the shooter put into this, based on local news reports of the event. That is, he arrived after the FM had left, but before the PM had arrived.

Other reports indicate that he was seen loitering around the area of the bomb blast as much as two hours later. The he drove about 25 miles to get to the ferry to take him to the island.

Wearing a police uniform, and carrying some container with his ammo, Devastator-type fragmenting bullets shows considerable planning. The island itself is 26 acres, 500m from the shore.

#12 sort of what other above said...Is it possible that the media and academia apologists for violent Islamists, who militate against the encroachment of Western influence in their countries, will also interpret Breiviks motivation the same way?

#13 "Used by the Left to crack down on dissidents" > the way the MSM-Net News keeps harping or referring back to "Ultra/Far-Right Extremism = Radicalism, methinks dissident crackdown will be just the beginning.

Iff the movie PEARL HARBOR was the Left's PDeniable, covert or subtle declaration of war agz the Right, "NORWAY" may becom its OVERT = OPEN DECLARATION OF WAR AGZ SAME, ALA "2012" + ESPEC IFF THE US DE FACTO DEFAULTS ON ITS DEBTS AFTER 08/02nd.

As per 9-11 + GWOT = "WAR FOR OWG-NWO", Radical Islam has its GLOBAL ISLAMIST-JIHADIST ORDER, i.e. "CALIPHATE", whilst US-World Socialism has its US, GLOBAL SOCIALIST-GOVTIST ORDER.

The Left thinks its safe because their movements are based or focused on POST-INDUSTRIAL/
MODERN "FIRST WORLD" NATIONS [US-West includ Russia + China] WID PRE-ESTABLISHED STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ARSENALS, BUT THATS WHY PER THE "ISLAMIST-JIHADIST BOMB" [LR Strategic, Terror NucWeaps], ISN'T IT!?

The Left is indeed stupid to think that post-2012 NUCLEAR? Radical Islam will not turn on it in the face of perceived ideo or geopol weakness, etc. on the part of the Left.

They seem to be laboring under the delusion that, having been brothers-in-arms, the crocodile will not eat them despite having developed a taste for Western human flesh. Simply useful and tasty idiots.
