Terror group claims responsibility for incidents in Oslo:

A terror group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, according to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at C.N.A., a research institute that studies terrorism. The message said the attack was a response to Norwegian forces’ presence in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad. “We have warned since the Stockholm raid of more operations,” the group said, according to Mr. McCants’ translation, apparently referred to a bombing in Sweden in December 2010. “What you see is only the beginning, and there is more to come.” The claim could not be confirmed.

Norway is a member of the NATO alliance and has a small fighting contingent in Afghanistan. It was one of several countries named by Ayman al-Zawahri, the Al Qaeda leader, as potential targets for attack. In 2006, Norwegian newspapers reprinted Danish cartoons that angered Muslims by lampooning Muhammad. Norway has also historically been a frequent participant in peacekeeping missions and a host for diplomatic talks, including the 1993 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinians. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of the Norwegian parliament.

needs to vocally and pointedly insult Muhammed. Then the islamic terrorists who get their panties in a wad over perceived slights won't know WHO the hell to attack.

:shrug: It could work.

Mo is going to get less and less respect. He'll soon be on par with Boosh. What irony.

And Muslims come in all colors and nationalities...

I didn't assign blame yet. Now there are reports of more shooters there.

He's a right wing Xtian Conservative.

They're still going after children. Jesus Christ.....

Not going to help one bit.

Despicable. Horrifying. Tremendously sad. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Not the moslems in Norway,
not the left wing government in Norway.

Who profits?

An inappropriately intense act of retribution to a real or perceived slight.

For example, look at the Nader 2000 voters.

Sometimes its just radical religionists who take offense, or it's a revenge act.

Why does this have to have a profit motive? I'm guessing the 9/11 terrorists - the ones who actually perpetuated the act weren't motivated by money. It was idealogical. Radicalized religious mania.

now who profited at the top, the string-pullers is a whole different kettle of fish....

I wonder if amongst the murdered children there is an important family linked....

youth associated to the Labor Party is mind boggling given that the Labor has sought to accomodate Muslims.


The following 2009 article from the BBC about growing anti-Muslim sentiment in Norway is interesting.

Read the news - turns out it was a false flag op by a disgruntled right wing Christian
