Looks like the Islamic mafia isn't satisfied with the amount of protection money Norway is shipping them.

The Blog that Care Forgot

[HamiltonJay]

hahaha.. Norway learns the hard way, these extremists don't care... you're white, your european decent, with western values... you are guilty for that reason alone. There is no middle ground, you are either an extremist muslim, or a potential target.

Just as it was with Mohammed himself, get your mind right or die. Islam is the religion of satan himself.

[Marysecretary]

Norway is full of "pakis" (slang word for Pakistani's). They're getting their share of Muslims as well and they don't like them much.

[Destructor]

Norwegians need to get back in touch with their Viking heritage -and fast!

[tracer]

Word had it that Norway's extortion payment account (EPA) was overdrawn....

[VOA]

The hope of the authorities, as expressed by one diplomat, was that al-Qaeda
simply got their geography wrong and did not mean to threaten Norway at all.

The guvmint officials of Norway need to read "Hatred's Kingdom", a history of
Wahhabism by former Israeli diplomat Dore Gold.

The aim of Osama (and his fellow travelers) is to go after non-Muslims.

And after that...after those "moderate" Muslims that Wahhabists despise.

Hear that "Moderate" Muslims...you're next!
Have FUN!!!

[pfflier]

The threat from what is said to be the al-Qaeda network has baffled authorities and people here alike. Analysts are struggling to come up with any reasons why Norwegian embassies and interests abroad should be singled out for attacks from Muslim fundamentalists.

Do the terrorists need a reason? They prey on the helpless and the unprepared.

[AdmSmith]

It is probably related to Iraq as Norway expelled Mullah Krekar that was the leader of Ansar al-Islam, the Iraqi-based militant Islamic group suspected of having with links to al-Qaeda.

[lavaroise]

So, Norway is too neutral for muslims. And if terror works to make Norway attack America, then why not.

[Savage Beast]

Ouch! That must have been a kick in the leg for Gunnar Berge and the Nobel Peanut...oops! I mean Peace...Prize Committee.

All that appeasement and the crocodile's gonna eat them along with everybody else.

Hey, Norway! According to Islam you're a bunch of infidels! You deserve to die! Just like everybody else. Appeasement won't work.

When Norway comes under attack, Gunnar and his ilk will begin to comprehend the brilliance of President Bush and his leadership--the wisdom of Winston Churchill--and the foolishness of Neville Chamberlain!

[xm177e2]

Norway has traditionally been seen as a peacemaker in the Middle East and the country protested against the war in Iraq.

But I thought Osama wanted America to attack Iraq, so he would have an easier time recruiting... maybe now Osama will turn on the peaceniks. It's only logical, if you believe peacenik logic...

[Rodney King]

One possible reason which has been put forward is the presence of Norwegian special forces in Afghanistan, but this is a small force and other countries have a much more pronounced presence there.

Another possible reason is that bullies don't respect weaklings, and in fact seek them out to pick on. This is something that most of us learned by 5 or 6 years old, but that liberals still don't understand.

Tawela and Biyara, the Iran-bordering villages that were apparently bombed, contain numerous compounds that serve as the base for Ansar Al-Islam, a Shiite organization with suspected ties to Al Qaeda. One of the compounds was believed to be a site where some lethal chemicals, including ricin, may have been produced. The Kurds say Ansar, which has about 600 members in Northern Iraq, could be an obstacle in any U.S.-led offensive on Saddam through the north.") (March 22, 2003)

What exactly did the al Qaeda message say about Norway?

[Koblenz]

Why should Norway be fearful they were singled out? The US was singled out on 9/11, and what the hell did we do to Islamic countries before that?

* Recently apprehended Mullah Krekar spent many years in Iran and was arrested in Amsterdam after a flight from Tehran. Iran has several possible reasons for supporting Ansar. For one, having a democratic proto-state on its borders threatens the very nature of the Islamic republic. Thus, continued guerrilla activity benefits Tehran, as does any movement designed to spread Islamism in Kurdistan. Furthermore, by supporting Ansar and other Islamist groups in Iraq, Tehran may attempt to gain influence among the various factions that could contribute to a new Iraqi government if Saddam's regime is overthrown.- "Ansar Al-Islam: Iraq's Al-Qaeda Connection, " By Jonathan Schanzer, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, via FrontPageMagazine.com , Friday, January 17, 2003
