Terrorist attack in Oslo

Guardian85 · July 23, 2011, 01:53:13 PM

Yerterday Oslo, the capital of Norway, was attacked by a bomb blast in it's government quarter, and a subsequent shooting at a Workers League youth convention.
At present the two attacks have cost the lives of 91 persons who are confirmed dead. People are still missing and the number is expected to climb.

A right wing extremist has been arrested as the shooter at the convention, and is also believed to be involved in the placing of te explosive device in Oslo.

Thos thread is open for thoughts about the attack and declerations of support for the victims and their families.

Oh, no! Not again.

We've got radio announcers who stoke resentment and hate, it's all kind of main stream.
I recall Obama having something to say when Gabrielle Giffords was shot about the shit people were peddling.
Maybe the Norway's lune got his call to act from secret internet pals, maybe not.

I hope that none of our Norwegian members are not directly effected by this.
I hope the Norwegian people don't take the actions of one nut case to heart and change their independent world view.

My heart goes out to the folks affected by yet another horror on this poor planet

Every time I think I can lift the shades and look out the window lately.. I want to pull them down again...
good conscience we can not do this ..
Our world is worth saving for the future
Some one at my work commented when this happened
"see? Damn Muslum terrorists a Christian would not do that"

Even before they figured it out all I could say to him "do you actually hear the words coming out of your
mouth?" he is convinced only in ancient time did Christians make what he calls a "few" mistakes...he thinks Ireland...Bosnia...ect..ect...all. "misinfo" as he calls i..."liberal propaganda". Sad part..while this is one guy ..it is a common (scary to me) thought...
I may have to take a guilt riddled news black out this weekend...between Somalia...oh Hell...it is all too much and how do we help?

Thiests are lucky feeling they can help by prayer...personally during times like this I think prayers are a complete cop out...pony up damn it!

Billions of people are good to each other every day, it may not be news worthy but it happens.

A friend of mine got cut up by the flying glass... He's ok. A lot of people are not.

That said, everyone else gets angry islamists and we are, apparently, being attacked by nationalist-Christian-whatevers... Can't even do that right ???

THAT said, it's as close to business as usual as possible today and that I like. Even yesterday, there was no great big panic or anything like that. Good.

...And that is pretty much all I have to say about it. It's a tragedy, but it can not be undone... So moving on is pretty much the only thing one can do.

Sweetdeath · July 24, 2011, 05:51:32 AM

Was this yet another muslim extremist attack???

I seriously hurt so much when innocent people die... This truly frightens me...

It is news like this that further proves there is no fucking God, so these idiots need to stop praying, and attempt to STOP insane people like this from murdering innocents... Fucking damn it. *sighs* ...

I'm glad to hear your friend is doing alright, Asmodean.

No it wasn't a Muslim-, but a wacko, Christian nationalist attack.

Apparently the psycho is being extremely cooperative with the police. He obviously intends to make sure as many people as possible listen to his message. Norwegian neo-nazis and extreme right wingers now have a hero and a focus. And unlike Bin Laden this guy will die a natural death possibly 40 to 50 years from now. Right now he has the attention of the world and he is going to play this for all that it is worth.

This guy has made a statement that may become the spark for European anti-muslim extremism.

Definitely a psychopath and an extremely intelligent man.

I don't know if this is true but Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami (Assistants of the Global Jihad) claims to have initiated these violent attacks.

This has been retracted, and the perpetrator has been caught. Like the others have said, right-wing christian nazi wannabe.
