Not saying he was or wasnt rookie...but did you read your own link?? here is a quote from your link....

"At least one Islamic terror group quickly claimed the attacks were "revenge" for Norway's engagement in Afghanistan, and for the publication of cartoons of the prophet Mohammed in Denmark."

When the OKC bombing hit the news, our office was listening to our local Rush wanabee, who said we should go and bomb them all, when asked who "them all" were he said you know :confused: , then the National News took over the air, and the first "eye witness" said she was a God fearing Christian :liar: , who said "but we need to go over there and kill their women and childern :eek: like they did ours", she said saw 4 to 5 "dark skins" running away from the building and they all had on the same "uniform". Well the guys running were members of a local track team that worked out everyday in that area, and yes they did all have on the same "uniform" aka warm up suits with school colors. Will we ever learn :bang:

I remember thinking just after OK city, it might be Muslims because of the first world trade center bombing. It never dawn on me that it could be right wing nuts because it had never happened before. We should know better now. Radical Islamic terrorist are still the main threat, but they are not the only threat.

"Police detained a tall, blond suspect, named by local media as Anders Behring Breivik, and charged him for the killing spree and the bombing of government buildings in Oslo.

He was identified by police as a 32-year-old Norwegian. Police say he is also responsible for the shooting at a youth camp on the small, wooded island of Utoeya in a lake northwest of Oslo on Friday. "

I wonder how they know already that he was responsible for both.

And isn't it VERY interesting how the media in this country is so QUICK to publish his identity, photo, AND political leanings so VIVIDLY...

It's so amazing compared to when a person of the Muslim faith commits an act of terror. You basically have to BEAT IT OUT OF THE MEDIA what the man's name is and what his religious and political background is...it usually takes a DAY OR TWO...

But when it's some right wing white dude, hell, MSNBC puts it RIGHT IN THE HEADLINE!!

At least 85 dead in Norway youth camp attack
Premier says 'my youth paradise' has turned into 'hell'; police say suspect's website indicates he was a right-wing, Christian fundamentalist

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43854355/ns/world_news-europe/?GT1=43001

I find this kind of thing fascinating...how differently similar events are reported based on whether or not the suspect is White/European/Right Wing or Brown/Middle Eastern/Islamic Extremist

"Gun violence is rare in Norway, where the average policeman patrolling in the streets doesn't carry a firearm. Reports that the assailant was motivated by political ideology were shocking to many Norwegians, who pride themselves on the openness of their society. Indeed, Norway is almost synonymous with the kind of free expression being exercised by the youth at the political retreat."

The media is the media. PA off topic is PA off topic and has a distinct Islamophobic slant.

And yes you waited until you could blame the left wing media, before you said much. You could have said "Hey guys, don't you think it is premature to start with the Islamophobia? How about holding off on the religion of peace comments?"

Then again it is a free forum and I am rarely surprised by the direction it takes. Predictable bias by the right wing contingent.

I am not defending MSNBC, but you have nitpicked at a minor blemish (particularly considering Faux/Drudge/Savage), whereas the larger issue is the casting of ALL people of a particular faith as evildoers (to use a colorful Bushism)

If PA off topic is not a bit more careful in casting aspersions, it might be something like this soon.....

The blinding waves of brown particles, the most recent of which hit Phoenix on Monday, are caused by thunderstorms that emit gusts of wind, roiling the desert landscape. Use of the term “haboob,” which is what such storms have long been called in the Middle East, has rubbed some Arizona residents the wrong way.

“I am insulted that local TV news crews are now calling this kind of storm a haboob,” Don Yonts, a resident of Gilbert, Ariz., wrote to The Arizona Republic after a particularly fierce, mile-high dust storm swept through the state on July 5. “How do they think our soldiers feel coming back to Arizona and hearing some Middle Eastern term?"

I'm not getting into this discussion but will say far too many people have died defending the right to have an opinion and express it here. What happened doesn't matter whether its left, center, or right far too many people have had their lives cut short.

One person PM me and apologized for one of those accusation responses and I wrote back "it's ok I don't think anyone on here has deliberately shown any malice".

Here's what my friend wrote (in Norwegian had to translate) take a deep breath and read it please.

Thank you Mac. All the land is in shock right now. It is absolutely ghastly everything together. terrible sad

Do you really think she is thinking what part of the political landscape did this? She has a beautiful 9 year old niece only one can imagine what was going through her thoughts when it was reported.

Now to get a little off topic please take eight minutes or so and watch this and how it shows that good can come out of tragedy. He is my MVP and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. I would like to hear from any dissenters that it was a waste of time watching it.

Yesterday whenever I tried to get an update on one news networks, I kept running into some no name congressman from backwoods district giving his take on the debt crisis.(there seemed to an equal number from both parties). 92 dead, 97 injured and bunch more are missing and we discussing whether a picture taken from this nut web site should or should not be shown on TV or how often.

My first thought when I heard of the attacks in Norway was that somehow a muslim extremist was involved. I guess that makes me an Islamaphobe ? Guess what, I don't care. Maybe the 200 terrorist attacks (in the link below) carried out by muslims worldwide in the name of allah has caused me to jump to conclusions.

from the article:

Feb. 23, 1998 (Published) - A Statement signed by many Islamic Jihad Leaders from most Muslim countries, first by Sheikh Osamah Bin-Ladin: “…In compliance with God’s order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims:
The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies–civilians and military–is an individual duty for every Muslim who can, in any country in which it is possible… We — with Allah’s help — call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded, to comply with Allah’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. Unless you go forth, Allah will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.”

I've noticed "Aryan" being used in this thread several times. One could argue that the use of it is racism in and of itself.

I will say I suspected Islamic terrorist first. I should have known better. Basically there are two types of terrorist who do this stuff today. Islamic terrorists and violent Crazies. These days the violent crazies seem to drawn to the Right for whatever reason. It was not always so . From the 60s to the fall of the Berlin wall, they were drawn toward the Left. In another 20 or 30 years they will probably swing back to the left. Whether they are drawn to the Left or the Right, they are always going to be with us and we should not be so quick to assume that any act of terrorism is not one of their acts. Heaven knows we see enough of it, whether it be an attack on the Holocaust museum in DC or the slaughter at a congressman's rally in Arizona or this attack. Then there are the nuts with no political connections like the Virginia Tech murder spree.

All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren’t
Extreme Righties are a relatively new revived phenomenon (since the 1930's)

terrorism is an everyday part of many power struggles

luckily we have euphemisms and alternate words to use when we are the good guys. "Terrorism" is when bad people use terror and/or fear.

any one who is bad can be a terrorist if they use those methods. It doesn't matter who a bunch of people thought were the bad guys this time. If you keep watching the news, they will tell you who the bad guys are.

Beck: Norway camp smacks of 'Hitler Youth

(A real madman at work - doing what he does best.)

In the wake of last week's massacre in Norway, U.S. conservative commentator Glenn Beck on Monday compared the summer camp where most of the 76 victims died to the Hitler Youth organization of Nazi Germany.
Beck, on his radio show, declared the killings "the work of a madman" and called the suspect "as bad as Osama bin Laden." But before launching into that condemnation, he questioned what the victims were doing at a summer camp run by Norway's ruling Labour Party.
Beck said the camp "sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler Youth or whatever. Who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing."
However, politically-oriented camps are being organized in several U.S. states by chapters of the "9/12 Project" -- an organization founded by Beck himself in 2009.
The Colorado 9/12 Project hosted a "Patriot Camp" for kids in grades 1-5 earlier this month, featuring programs on "our Constitution, the Founding Fathers, and the values and principles that are the cornerstones of our nation."
