The BBC news is carrying eye witness reports as well as those from the Norwegian police. It's harrowing that so many young people were gunned down but the leader of the young socialists has said in a press conference that the Norwegian people will not give in to terrorism and will continue to be the open free thinking and speaking people they have always been, good for him. We mustn't let terrorists change our way of life,it's been said many times, that while remaining alert we must carry on as normal.
this is the BBC news updated a couple of minutes ago.

Police reports, unofficial at the moment are saying the killer has links to neo Nazis as well. The fear is that he may not have been working alone and we could expect other attacks in Europe.

I am waiting for someone to explain to me how it is that the headlines don't read "Christian bombing and shooting" when if a Muslim does it, the headlines read "Muslim bombing and shooting."
And I'm still waiting for an update on that earlier statement on MT that "Christians are not actively bombing and shooting people, but Muslims are." Who was it that said that, hmmm?
Well, maybe the guy's crazy. Of course, if that's the case, he must be a Muslim. Only Muslims are crazy. As insinuated earlier in this thread.

Yes, we can. And I think it's rather a stretch to pretend that we don't know what the intent was.
So what's the deal? Do Christians actually blow **** up, or is the guy a sekrit Muslim? Is it possible that someone here is actually (gasp) wrong?
So yeah, I think previous statements go to intent. Call it circumstantial evidence. That "nobody said anything" stuff doesn't fly. Didn't have to. We were meant to understand and we did. I did, anyway. But I don't really have an 'off' switch where it comes to sandlot bullies.
This is the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Londons Facebook page, if anyone wants to add their condolences, I'm sure there will also be an American one as well.

lone nutters are just that, lone nutters
organized groups are just that
the difference for the obtuse out there, there is (currently)no evidence that this attack was motivated by religion
with the muslim terrorists, it IS, they say so themselves
I could also point out that when a lone nutter of the christian variety goes off the farm, it is always that, a lone nutter
islam has organized GROUPS of nutter than span the globe

Gentlemen, I just want to go on record as saying that it would be most courteous of those with 'hot irons' in the fire of debate over religion and politics to put them to one side for a few days, at least when it comes to discussing this act of terror.

EDIT: Removed per request.
He may not be a lone gunman, some of the survivors of the island shootings are said to have reported a second gunman being there. The police have just had a press conference, watched it live, they aren't for obvious reasons saying much at the moment.
Their intelligence services as well as the police are investigating.
However the death toll has gone up to 92 with 4 or 5 still missing.

Maybe the public face of terrorism is changing. Terrorist = Right Wing Extremist. How many people can be thrown under that umbrella? LOL @ Karma.
Right wing terrorism has been around for quite a while in Europe.

Those homegrown guys are actually more dangerous.
(Yes TF, it is my humble opinion, not a fact)
These guys fly under the radar until they snap.
The killer has admitted what he has done and said it 'was gruesome but necessary'.

well, shows you that evil isn't necessarily visible to the naked eye...
(At least Timothy McVeigh was himself appalled when he learned that he killed that many children)
You mean like Virginia born Major Hasan? Had this guy in Norway screeched Allahu Akbar, the media would be utterly baffled as to his motives...
I'm giving this a few days, then I'll chime in.
No, because here a guy named Hassan raises eyebrows, and anybody with darker skin is suspect.
Blondie could have not looked more innocent...
