A man disguised as a police officer began shooting where youth were attending a Labour party conference at Utoya, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg has just confirmed.

No. RANDOM would be if they killed Christane Amanpour.

[redgolum]

Time to go a Viking.

Any ID on the shooters? Amish?

[Anti-Bubba182]

I wonder if there is any Viking spirit left in Norway or have they gelded themselves completely?

OMG — I’m singing “Cruel Summer” all day long. I’m in suburban DC (southern Maryland) and the Heat Index is at 111 right now, according to WMAL...

STAY SAFE!

CNN called this a RANDOM act of terror......

I suggest CNN look up RANDOM in their FUNK & WAGNALL'S.

They have spoken often of Muslims not integrating into Norwegian society at all. But mostly everyone felt safe. These perps do not know ‘brazen’ (or ‘evil’ for that matter) - they are what/who they are. Sad wake-up call; but hope it is at least heard.Let the deportation of the radical Islamists begin. (Which I believe from reports; the threat of which,per particular Imam or ‘whomever’, prompted this response.)Yes, the response here; particularly critical. They need to ask; “what would Australia do?” And then do it!

Hard to believe only a handful were killed in this unless everyone is on vacation there.

‘Professor of peace studies’ speculating: “perhaps anarchist or more likely far right” responsible, but maybe Gaddafi or Islamists.

[ml/nj]

Police are saying they believe the person(s) responsible for the bomb to be foreign, according to the BBC.

I wonder what was their first clue.

[TexasFreeper2009]

um... I was thinking more on the of 1000 to 1 casualties.

he had rags on his head?

Sky News says there are reports of 25 - 30 bodies seen scattered around Utoya Island. Suspect on the Island Norwegian in appearance.

There was never any doubt... every terrorist arrested in the USA in the last 5 years has been a muslim.

The war of Gog and Magog is just that. The Middle East will be one giant heap of ruin, of course a new religion will emerge which will be even worse.

Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he is deported from the Scandinavian country. The indictment centered on statements that Mullah Krekar -- the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam -- made to various news media, including American network NBC.
Terrorism has also been a concern in neighboring Denmark since an uproar over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad six years ago. Danish authorities say they have foiled several terror plots linked to the 2005 newspaper cartoons that triggered protests in Muslim countries.
Last month, a Danish appeals court on Wednesday sentenced a Somali man to 10 years in prison for breaking into the home of the cartoonist.

I just began reading about this attack. As of yet no mention of name of gunman or what 'cultural' influence there might have been. Yet the excerpt from the article I posted talks about Muslim countries etc. HMMM. Is it a Muslim terrorist? Does anyone know yet?

Hard to believe only a handful were killed in this unless everyone is on vacation there.

I've heard a couple of times on TV reports that today is a holiday in Norway. No explanation as to what holiday it is.

[janetjanet998]

NRK now reporting that they were likley more then one shooter on the island, likely several

[Smokin' Joe]

We’re fighting this war on terrorism the wrong way. Instead of us just reacting to the threats and spending trillions of dollars in the process, what we need to do is that every time there’s a terrorist bombing we should select a Muslim city, at random, and bomb a few square blocks, equal to the terrorist bombing. That will give them something to think about...!

Sorry, but no seegar. We should select a Muslim city and remove it from the map. Completely, thoroughly obliterate and its inhabitants, by whatever means necessary.

When you consider the bombings and murders occur because someone offended them, the scale-up in response is similar, and only a response of Biblical proportions will get their attertion.
