Pandora's Box in Norway
American Thinker ^ | 7/24/11 | James Lewis

Posted on 07/24/2011 9:59:24 AM PDT by Nachum

If you destroy civilization, the monsters that fly out will surely destroy you. That is the lesson of the barbarian who killed almost one hundred innocents in Norway last week.

The Left will manage to blame the usual scapegoats, the way it always does. In fact, it is the Left itself that has opened Pandora's Box by systematically destroying the pillars of Western civilization, even bringing in Muslim terror preachers to speed up the destruction of civilized life. Saul Alinsky dedicated Rules for Radicals to Lucifer. Nothing better captures the destructive mind of the cultural Left, and we can see the results all around us.

Last week the Beast came to bite them back.

In recent years Norway has become famous for two supreme absurdities of Political Correctness: Algore's Nobel Prize for spreading the biggest scientific fraud in history, and Obama's Peace Prize for getting elected President -- in effect, Europe's tribute to the most radical Leftist in American history, merely for running while black.

However, if Herman Cain is elected preside

ORrrrrrrr just PERHAPS

A crazy man with a gun and some bomb making material got away with a travesty.

Evil has always been and will always be. Some things don’t need an explanation.

Blame leads to more violence and more violence leads to more blame.

Jesus taught a way to break that spiral.

The author of this article forgot to mention the illegal Oslo Accords that were created and implemented under the cloak of secrecy to supposedly create peace between the Israelis and Palies. It did just the opposite and ended up unleashing a huge amount of Islamic terrorism against Israel.

At one time, these were Vikings.

Now, I'm surprised that they can even procreate.

So it’s really a political philosophy that killed those people, and not a crazy man with an excuse???

I don’t think so.

Don’t forget that Norway is a Scandanavian country that believes in Jante Law. What is it? According to Wiki.

The Jante Law (Danish and Norwegian: Janteloven; Swedish: Jantelagen; Finnish: Janten laki; Faroese: Jantulógin) is a pattern of group behaviour towards individuals within Scandinavian communities, which negatively portrays and criticizes individual success and achievement as unworthy and inappropriate.

The Danish-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose in his novel A fugitive crosses his tracks (En flyktning krysser sitt spor, 1933, English translation published in the USA in 1936) identified the Jante Law as a series of rules. Sandemose’s novel portrays the small Danish town Jante (modelled upon his native town Nykøbing Mors as it was at the beginning of the 20th century, but typical of all small towns and communities), where nobody is anonymous.[1]

Generally used colloquially as a sociological term to negatively describe an attitude towards individuality and success common in Scandinavia, the term refers to a mentality which refuses to acknowledge individual effort and places all emphasis on the collective, while punishing those who stand out as achievers.

The term may often be used negatively by individuals who more or less rightfully feel they are not allowed to take credit for their achievements, or to point out their belief that another person is being overly critical.
Definition

There are ten different rules in the law as defined by Sandemose, but they all express variations on a single theme and are usually referred to as a homogeneous unit: Don’t think you’re anyone special or that you’re better than us.

The ten rules state:

1. Don’t think you’re anything special.
2. Don’t think you’re as good as us.
3. Don’t think you’re smarter than us.
4. Don’t convince yourself that you’re better than us.
5. Don’t think you know more than us.
6. Don’t think you are more important than us.
7. Don’t think you are good at anything.
8. Don’t laugh at us.
9. Don’t think anyone cares about you.
10. Don’t think you can teach us anything.

An eleventh rule recognized in the novel is:

11. Don’t think that there aren’t a few things we know about you.

In the book, the Janters who transgress this unwritten ‘law’ are regarded with suspicion and some hostility, as it goes against communal desire in the town to preserve harmony, social stability and uniformity.

What happened in Norway is what can be expected to take place in other parts of Europe. Many Europeans are disgusted with what is happening to their culture by the invasion of Islam.

The European melting pot has become a pressure cooker without a safety valve. The same can be said about other places in the world.

Islam — either assimilate, or get the hell back to your snake dens whence you slithered out. And by the way, better rewrite your Koran or your teaching will result in grave consequences.

Agree, almost better than GWB as Goldstein, except I imagine our rabid left will continue to cling to the “Bush’s fault” for the golf-addict/community organizers’ failings.

The history of Europe is pretty much a history of warfare. What we’ve seen of the Euros since WW2 is really not indicative of their past, in particular the Germanic peoples.

This guy was just a lone wolf who snapped, but I expect to see the thinking that drove him begin to bubble to the surface. The Germans (as wussified as they now appear) I expect to be the first. We’ll see.

The article ends:

But the answer to Politically Correct barbarism is not more barbarism.

The answer is a return to civilized laws and values.

It will be interesting to see how Norway changes now. Will they wake up to the Muslim problem, or will they impose more repressive controls on native Norwegians? The barbarian clearly attacked the ruling party. Will this weaken, or strengthen, them?

What every civilization deserves is a sense of continuity. This doesn’t mean that things will never change, but love of tradition, culture, and shared values is an undeniable truth. In fact, it is the very reason often cited by Muslim extremists against Western Culture. So if we strain to understand their hatred of the West, why do we so easily discount the same urge that many Westerners feel about immigrants? Things do change, and there is a natural course for this. It’s when governments take an active role in facilitating that change that many people object. Just as we don’t blame every Muslim when an Islamofascist kills kids, we in the same fashion must hold blameless conservatives, christians, and culturalists for the actions of killers. I want America, and Europe for that matter, to maintain their traditions of democracy, freedom, and tolerance. Evil is equating those desired goals with a madman.
