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, apparently referred to a bombing in Sweden in December 2010, according to Mr McCants' translation. "What you see is only the beginning, and there is more to come." The claim could not be confirmed. - copied from live reporting in the Guardian. To say 'that Islam does not recognize Norway's right to exist'. is ofcourse simplistic bloody nonsense. |

This is the man held by police for questioning about the bombing in Oslo and the shooting on the island of Utøya. The article states that he's lived right outside of Oslo all his life and a friend of his is quoted as saying he turned right radical in his late 20s. Hitherto unknown by the police except for a minor traffic violation some years back. Reportedly, there were about 560 young people on the island at the time of the shooting, and a search is still going on on Utøya and in the lake surrounding the island.

23 Jul 11 - 05:00 AM (#3193347) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: GUEST,Shimrod It's at times like this that we need to think carefully about what terrorism is all about. When terrorists brutally kill and maim people, those deaths and injuries are, to the terrorists 'merely incidental' and 'just' a means to an end (let me hasten to add that, to people like you and me, they are foul crimes). What the terrorists hope to achieve is a gross over-reaction and a de-stabilisation of a whole society. We should not forget that when Al-Quaeda attacked the USA in September 2001 they got just the reaction that they had been hoping for. Up to now the US Government has spent around $4 trillion (!) on two futile wars and this will impact severely on its future prospects as a world power. Before pdq even knew who was responsible for the carnage in Norway he felt moved to write: "It appears that Islam does not recognize Norway's right to exist." Thus playing straight into Osama's dead hands! pdq you're an idiot! I hope and pray that the people of Norway have more sense.

23 Jul 11 - 05:47 AM (#3193357) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Teribus It would appear that this lone attacker has thought very carefully about his attack on the Norwegian Labour party organisation and he must have been planning it for some time. - Four guns two of which were "legally held" (The fully automatic weapon and the automatic shot gun were not - Automatic weapons in Norway are strictly illegal and automatic self loading shot guns in Norway have to have restricted magazines of two or three shots IIRC) - He had a flat in Oslo but had bought a small farm supposedly to grow vegetables which gave him access to purchase the fertilisers used to make his explosives without raising suspicion - He apaprently parked his car bomb and then drove to Tyrefjord an inland freshwater lake where Utoya is located. The bomb having gone off in Oslo at 15:15hrs he appeared in Police Uniform and presented himself to those controlling access to the island, saying that he had to brief those on the island on security matters, the Norwegian Prime Minister who is from the Norwegian Labour Party was due to speak to the youngsters on Utoya today. - He arrived on the island and called all the youngsters to gather round for the briefing then started shooting. As the children and youngsters ran for cover he started hunting them down. Appeals went out on Norwegian television and radio not to call children on the island as the ring tones from their mobile phones would give their positions away. - People on the island ran into the water to escape, the lake is up in the mountains to the west of Oslo (about 50km), fresh water even at this time of year is very, very cold. He shot at those in the water trying to escape. - He planted explosives on the island to kill any rescue parties - Diving teams are now searching for bodies that may have sunk, there are still people missing the body count may not be finalised yet. Speaking to former work colleagues over in Norway the country is in shock. A double attack by a lone right wing nutcase, as bad, horrific and as terrible as this was, is a far better in prospect to an attack by a group that yesterday's events may have signalled only the start of a concentrated campaign. With the undoubted feelings running as they are I do not give much for this guy's chances. And like Rhett Butler "I don't give a damn". Norway is a country with a small population, the summer camp was attended by youngsters from all over, the ripples of this will extend far and wide, my thoughts are with the victims, their friends and their families. |

He may or may not be a fundamentalist Christian, but that is certainly not the direction of his writing of the websites he wrote for. He also wrote an article about "Terrorist" groupies.

23 Jul 11 - 08:45 AM (#3193431) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Willie-O So appalling it's hard to express. Makes me think of many youth conferences I went to--the beautiful tiny island location made it a death trap for this politically motivated psycho. I am still thinking there must have been more than one shooter (consider how the death toll suddenly, dramatically rose last night as more bodies were discovered), which news reports have only hinted at. Don't forget, early news reports about a crisis like this are notoriously inaccurate--and not just the first hours, often the inaccuracies continue for days once they're fed into the media amplifier. Eyewitness accounts are important but not often inaccurate as well--we as a species are not good at dispassionate observation of confusing and terrifying events. My guess is the "Helpers of Jihad" which claimed to have launched the attack are none other than Anders Breivik and his accomplices. Just an early disinformation component of their plan, both a red herring and an attempt to provoke action against Muslims. Terrorizing the next generation of moderate liberals and their parents--who will think twice about the next time their kids are invited to a political event. This is so very disgusting. W-O |

23 Jul 11 - 10:19 AM (#3193473) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Jack the Sailor Sure lox. It seems clear to me that his motivation was hatred of Islam. He was punishing the Labor government for not taking up the fight. The killer wrote this... Hagen said that if Israel loses in the Middle East, Europe will succumb to Islam next. He felt that Christians should support Israel and oppose Islamic inroads into Europe. In an unprecedented step, a group of Muslim ambassadors to Norway blasted Carl I. Hagen in a letter to the newspaper Aftenposten, claiming that he had offended 1.3 billion Muslims around the world. Other Norwegian politicians quickly caved in and condemned Hagen. Maybe Norway, "the country of peace" and home to the Nobel Peace Prize, will get along just fine with Islam, "the religion of peace." Although some political leaders such as Mr. Carl I. Hagen have a clear understanding of what's going on, they are unfortunately few and far between. Most European media commentators are hostile to the Jewish state of Israel, partly because they get angry with anybody defending themselves against Islamic Jihad instead of surrendering, and partly because they want to project their own feelings of guilt from the Holocaust onto Israel by recasting the Jews as villains and the Palestinians as victims. French filmmaker Pierre Rehov made the film Suicide Killers where he interviewed the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. He warns that we are facing "a neurosis at the level of an entire civilization," a "culture of hatred in which the uneducated are brainwashed to a level where their only solution in life becomes to kill themselves and kill others in the name of a God. I hear a mother saying 'Thank God, my son is dead.' Her son had became a shaheed, a martyr, which for her was a greater source of pride than if he had became an engineer, a doctor or a winner of the Nobel Prize. [...] They don't see the innocent being killed, they only see the impure that they have to destroy." Rehov believes that we are dealing with "a new form of Nazism" that it is going to spread to Europe and the United States, too. Spanish journalist Sebastian Villar Rodriguez claims that Europe died in Auschwitz: "We assassinated 6 million Jews in order to end up bringing in 20 million Muslims!" Yet in 2007, Ciempozuelos, a small Madrid suburb, refused to commemorate Holocaust Day and opted instead to commemorate the 'Day of Palestinian Genocide.' In Britain following Muslim pressure, the Bolton Council scrapped its Holocaust Memorial Day event. The Muslim Council of Britain asked for a Genocide Day to protest the Israeli "genocide" against the Palestinians. The secretary-general of the MCB, Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, has earlier compared the situation of Muslims in Britain to Jews under Hitler. We thus have the absurd situation where the Nazis of today are presented as Jews while the Jews are presented as Nazis. |

23 Jul 11 - 10:23 AM (#3193480) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Willie-O Lox, it seems that Breivik holds strongly anti-Muslim views, which (even though Norway has recently been in NATO military actions against certain Muslim factions) he feels the governing party of Norway does not support, in particular vis-a-vis the question of Palestinian statehood, and probably Norway's immigration policies (I'm guessing on that one). But your point is well taken. There is no apparent involvement of Muslims in these terorist events, either as attackers or victims. As I mentioned, I believe the hitherto-unknown "Helpers of Jihad" group is a fabrication of Breivik and his cronies. W-P |

You have presented us with some interesting viewpoints on the subject of your opinion of the Israel/Palestine question and on your opinion about the motivations of people who sympathize with Palestinians. All very interesting. However, my interest is in the recent atrocities in Norway, which is the reason why I am posting to this thread. I noted lots of comments about Moslems. I would like to know how Moslems are supposed to be connected to the Atrocities in Norway. So far nobody has provided a connection, except that the Tall Blonde Norwegian guy who was caught, allegedly hates Moslems. ie - we have a wacko Islamophobe venting his hatred on kids. So I'll repeat - why are we discussing Moslems? When on this issue, we should be worrying about Islamophobia? |

26 Jul 11 - 07:43 AM (#3195687) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Teribus Some clarification on figures (11th January 2011): Oslo district contains about 950,000 people Oslo (the city) has a population of 596,973 people Innvandrer (Immigrants) most live in Oslo (the city) 170,204 That amounts to 28.5% of the population of Oslo (the city) "Registered" as being followers of Islam are just over 95,000, or 16% of the population. Today in schools on the east side of Oslo Fjord 95% of the pupils come from minority non-Norwegian speaking homes. This figure is so high because "native" or indigenous Norwegian parents take their children out of these schools because of the slow rate of learning due to poor language skills of the bulk of the class who only use "norwegian" while they are in school. By 2025 the projection is that 4 out of every ten people in Oslo (the city) will be of immigrant descent. Immigration in Norway is the "elephant in the room", a massive silent majority is extremely concerned about it. While France, Germany and the UK are secular Parliamentary democracies, Norway is a Christian Society, religion is still extremely important to the population, no political party would ever challenge the role of the church and expect to survive the next election. Norway only became a country in 1905, the people are very proud of their country and are very "nationalistic". If you go and live in Norway - YOU MUST become Norwegian, Norway DOES NOT CHANGE to accommodate you irrespective of your language and culture. You live by their standards and you do not introduce your own. There have been massive reactions to such practices as "arranged marriages" and "honour killings" both totally unacceptable in modern Scandinavian society. The message from the majority is fairly clear, if that is how you want to conduct your lives - do so elsewhere. |

26 Jul 11 - 07:53 AM (#3195696) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Teribus I think I may have mentioned this elsewhere and it answers why the gunman targeted who he did. He may have been against a perceived Islamic "invasion" of Europe (& Sacndinavia) but his target was the political party he associated with allowing and even encouraging this to happen. mg asked why he had not been shot by a sniper. Had that political rally not been held on that island (owned by the Worker's Youth League), if it had been held in any rural community on the mainland the gunman would not have lasted 15 to 20 minutes before someone would have shot him. The country is awash with guns and people who know how to use them (Hunters; Bi-Athletes; Target Marksmen; Home Guard & Army Conscripts - all of whom, except the last mentioned, have guns and ammunition immediately available at home) |

If by 2020 as you say, they are 40% the still won't even have a majority vote for city council." Do you work at being so deliberately obtuse? Or is does it just come naturally? 1: I told you where the figure came from an interview and the immigrant population of Oslo (the city) is according to figures published by the Kommune 28.5% (The guy in the interview stated 25%) - Admittedly not all Muslims only about 55% of them. 2: If that 170,000 is camped right next door to you and you lived in f**kin' China it would still appear that you had been "invaded" albeit "locally". In the good ol' US of A I dare say that the native Americans did not think that the Pilgrim fathers would be much of a problem - How many Palefaces to how many Indians?? - How did that pan out for the indigenous population Jack? Multiculturalism at work. Oh you never did pay me the courtesy of answering my question about the declared number of immigrants living in the USA compared to the actual number including illegals. But come on Jack admit it you could probably take the official figures and triple them (how many amnesties have you guys had to have now?). 3: Your last sentance there Jack is breathtakingly stupid - they would politically own central and the eastern districts of Oslo - Then just wait for the next election. Hells teeth I can see why people might be getting worried, what I completely and utterly fail to see is why 100-odd people the vast majority of them youngsters between the ages of 15 and 19 have to die just to attract attention of the nation in order that this twat could voice his concerns in a court of law. By the bye, the sentencing available under Norwegian Law, is that if he is considered to be a continuing danger to society he more or less in theory can be held indefinitely - he goes up for review as his term comes to an end and he is just returned to prison until the next review. He more or less guaranteed himself that when he came out with the "Not criminally responsible bullshit". |

Meanwhile, the situation remains very much the same and people in Norway are extremely worried about it and so they should be. The concerns voiced by the person interviewed are not rendered meaningless or irrelevant because he muddled his percentages. While measures taken against a terrorist organisation as Bush did with Al-Qaeda and their Taliban hosts can halt that organisation dead in its tracks and get everybody muttering about asymmetric warfare. The lesson thrown out by last Friday's rampage shows what one person with a modicum of knowledge, a bit of training and a great deal of planning can do. Through the strands of the intelligence communities web it is possible to detect the preparation and planning being undertaken by a group. It is virtually impossible to detect the likes of Breivik because his "security" is rock solid right up until he acts and by then it is too late. |

The conditioning inside a secret society combined with a near worship of guns and a like minded group of people feeding each other xenophobic fears until bigotry comes out thier ears is potent enough for normal people to join the darkside in surprisingly little time. The social science experiments of assigning pretend prisoner or guard status shows the turn around to take only 3 days. The experiments of normal people given a task of torture of another human will do so 80% of the time. When children are put in competitive situations against a rival team conflict can be great. Where there is hope for normal people resisting such social pressure when the opportunity for altruism exists. Altruism has a slight advantage. Conforming to a group and its ideosyncracies is far more powerful for people who are repressed and lonely. Of course mudcaters being non conformists for the most part, singing protest songs and love songs gives them an advantage in being thier own person. |

Thats disturbing." (Beck) How can this man get it backwards everytime. - (Donuel) Oddly enough Norwegians listening to the news reports on BBC World News actually made comments about this. I believe the BBC described the Camp on Utøya as being a "Youth Labour Camp" One of the Norwegians on hearing this said, "That sounds terrible put that way it sounds like Nazi Germany in the 1930's, I hope people realise what sort of camp it really is and what sort of organisation was running this week-end rally." So I don't think he (Beck) was that far off but it was a comment he should not have broadcast. Youth political organisations are all a bit suspect and should be viewed with great scepticism. "I am an immigrant jerkwad." - Jack the Sailor Question for you Jack are you a legal immigrant jerkwad, or illegal immigrant jerkwad, living in the US of A as you do having moved South from Canada? Figures for legal immigrants to US compared to figures or estimates of illegals in the country? I still say that the illegals figure will far and away be greater than the figure for legals. Now tell me why any other country's statistics should be any different? Some more figures for you. A bit out of date (2007) but indicative none the less: - Immigrants in Oslo who registered their religion as being Muslim was about 7.5% - Actual percentage of the immigrant community in Oslo who were muslim but who had not registered their religion was just over 11%. Translate that to todays figures about 90,000 registered uplifted by a factor of 1.47 gives you? 132,300 so not too far short of the 150,000 stated by the guy I heard being interviewed on it. Unless you can come up with a way to explain why someone who did not register his religion in 2007 suddenly wants to do so now for both himself and his family? So that you have a disparity in 2007 yet come 2011 you do not - it does not make sense. Akenaton is right: "Being against unrestricted immigration has nothing to do with hatred." Breivik attacked the Governing Political Party, infrastructure (Government Offices) and their organisation (Youth Organistaion - the latter in the hope that he would kill a prominent Member of the Arbeiderpartiet Gor Harlem Bruntland), who he blamed for unrestricted immigration into Norway he did not attack any group based on their race, colour or religion. Yet to hear anybody come up with an explanation why Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami claimed the Oslo Bombing? Or is it that something that those discussing these attacks just wish to have conveniently ignored? Why did they want everybody to believe that they had done it? To stoke up racial tension perhaps? And yet they cannot be accused of being racist - ridiculous. Looking round various countries the following seems to be the pattern: - In areas with little contact with immigrants there will be higher opposition in principle to immigration - In areas of higher unemployment there will be higher opposition to immigration The first is lack of knowledge, the second is economic nothing to do with hatred of race, colour or religion. |

It also would not have pissed me off. The fact is that Kevin was absolutely correct. There are nutters out there willing to claim almost everything. The Psych wards are full of people convinced that they are Jesus and Napoleon. To state categorically that it did not happen in several well known cases. is very reckless and arrogant. Is it not? I also remember reports of different "groups" claiming responsibility for the 1993 bombing. Of course I do not remember the details. Such claims even then were common, even then they were little more than background noise. Teribus has called me a bigot, he says I am a bigot because I am prejudiced against his ideas. That is not the definition I use for the word "bigot" is it yours? This exchange has convinced me that Teribus, like many of his unfortunate political persuasion, is a Bull Shitter, talking in scientifically measured prose but pulling data out of his arse or out of the arses of the right wing xenophobic arseholes he likes to listen to on the radio. We should all take everything he says with a large grain of salt. |

29 Jul 11 - 11:11 AM (#3197925) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Teribus But no nut confessed to the 1993 attack on the World Trade Centre. You Jack are claiming that that statement is untrue decrying it as bullshit, yet when challenged to substantiate why you think it is untrue you are somehow unable to do so - sounds like its you thats doing the bullshitting. In this instance the majority of those you did carry out the attack were either captured or killed. Operation financed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. No nutter confessed to the 2001 atacks on the WTC and Pentagon." Again Jack is unable to substantiate his claim that someone other than Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for this attack, so on the face of it that statement of mine is perfectly correct and it is Jack that is bullshitting. No nutter claimed responsiblity for the London 7/7 attacks. This one has already been dealt with only one organisation has claim responsibility Al-Qaeda, so unless Jack comes up with information to the contrary this claim stands as being correct. No nutter claimed responsibility for the Madrid 11/03 train bombings Those who operationally carried out the attack, those who committed suicide after the attack, were described as a loose cell. The technical support (the design and construction of the bombs used) was obtained from the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group who were taught to make the bombs in Jalalabad in Afghanistan by......wait for it.......Al-Qaeda. |

According to this mornings Irish Times, in what is described as a "rambling statement"...

"the slaughter might wake Europeans up"" Ex League activist Paul Ray, now head of the newly revived Knight's Templars, who claimes to have provided the inspiration for Breitvik's actions, has been detained for questioning by the British police.

Back to the terror group Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami and the lies they told. Without a shadow of doubt they did that to cause trouble and make a bad situation even worse. But in doing so they follow the precedent and example of existing and previous Muslim leaders Ayman Al-Zawahri's message was used to lend "credibility" to their lies. But there is no bullshit involved with regard to the statement this terrorist made in 2003. It is an irrefutable fact that he specifically mentioned Norway as a target - or does Jerkwad Jack dispute that? The one time leader of a faction of Arabs in Palestine Haj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini (The uncle of Yasser Arafat) deliberately propagated lies to foment trouble between the Jewish and Arab people of Palestine on at least three occasions before the Second World War resulting in riot, bloodshed and death. Subsequently the people who Jack and his partner have elected to champion have consistently elected to chose the path of violence, terror and war to further their cause. That being the case they should then learn to live with the consequences of their choices and actions - everybody else on this planet has to what makes them the exception? If the official UN definition of a Palestinian is someone who has lived there for two years, then the Jews are as much Palestinians as the Arabs and have as much right to live there as the Arabs. |

There are those out there who believe, and openly advocate that anybody who is different from us is in some way inferior and a threat to our way of life and should be "dealt with" or, as somebody put it, "action needs to be taken now to reverse some of the policies which have created the "time bomb" Already, links are becoming apparent between the killer, the English Defence League and crazies like the newly-revived Knights Templars - ignore this and the Breiviks of this world win.

03 Aug 11 - 03:44 AM (#3200737) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Penny S. This morning, while looking for something totally different, I found a report about a murder in a Kent town, involving a family from the Baltic area. There were comments. A lot of them were thoroughly poisonous, ignoring the tragedy in order to express opinions about immigrants. One used the username BNP. Some tried to counter this. Years ago on a site supposed to be about re-uniting school friends, there were message boards dripping with xenophobia. Even more years ago, as a teenager, I wrote to my local paper on an issue about a particular ethnic group, and was sent obnoxious mail in response. My mother intercepted some (I don't know how she knew what it was like) but I did read one before it was burned. I don't know what the solution is about these people. By now, one would hope that there would have been some effect from education, but it obviously cannot counter the home background. Breivik, I now hear, had had plastic surgery to make himself look more Aryan. That and testosterone suggest serious self image problems, as well as the racist delusions. Penny |

Lone, deranged psychopath - do you know something the rest of us don't? As I have already pointed out, early days yet - we have no idea if Breivik was acting alone - he has already claimed to have been in contact with the English Defence League and their respose has thrown little light on the accuracy of those claims - "Leader of the league, Tommy Robinson condemns the killings (they would, wouldn't they!) "but he does not want to decry the beliefs that led to Breivik's actions.... "the slaughter might wake Europeans up"" Empathy if not active co-operation. Brevik's and Paul Ray's statements that he has been in touch with and inspired by Ray, ex EDL and now head of the Knights Templars, has been taken serious enough by the police for them to have detained Ray for questioning. We know that back in the late 1980s there was a European League of Fascists - The Singers Club abandoned its venue at the Cora Hotel in Woburn Place in protest when the hotel manager accepted a booking from Marine Le Pen for a week-end conference there. Of course, none of this is definite enough to reach any hard and fast conclusions - certainly not a claim of Breivik being "a lone, deranged psychopath" - the Norwegian police are considering whether or not to charge him with "crimes against humanity". "What should be the correct response to a lone, deranged psychopath" - if that is what he is? One of extreme caution - the Norwegian police are still attempting to find out if he acted alone; he cerainly has sympathisers elsewhere, if not active supporters, and, as you know yourself, the world is full of racist nutters who would act on their beliefs that, for instance, all Muslims (particularly males) are culturally tainted and need to be sorted out - ah - if only they could find the bottle to come out from behind their computer screens!!! "Are you perhaps exploiting this appalling crime to push your particular viewpoint?"

I'll take that as a "no" then. The investigations have hardly started when you are suggesting that the police call off the hounds - I wonder why? You have been presented with evidence that links this massacre with two racist groups in Britain - you have the public response to one of those groups, which you haven't even bothered to acknowledge, so here it is once again for you to ignore: ".....but he does not want to decry the beliefs that led to Breivik's actions.... "the slaughter might wake Europeans up". There are other such groups scattered all over Europe and the stated aim of this guy was to stir such groups into action. There have already been violent racist incidents in some of the former communist states, attacks on Roms and on immigrant workers. And in the light of these attacks the governments concerned should sit on their hands - yeah, right, fits in perfectly with everything you have argued on racism so far! "....accusing him of NOT acting alone" Not accusing him of any such thing SJ, I am suggesting that until we know whether he was or not, and if his wake-up call has had any effect, you don't take chances, racism is too near the surface in Britain and elsewhere to ignore any possibilities, especially when you get statements like this that pass for serious debate on the subject of mass murder - not unsimilar to the reaction of the English Defence League: "This guy is obviously mad,and his actions inexcusible, but it seems clear that his rage was directed towards governments which operate an "open door" policy to immigration. Most Western governments are presently being forced to start closing the door as the idiocy of this policy becomes apparent. Being against unrestricted immigration has nothing to do with hatred."

We cannot possibly know if his "wake-up call" will meet with any response; it is far to early to make definitive statements and it is both irresponsible and/or agenda-serving to make them. This mornings press announced that the Norwegian police have launched what they estimate will be a year-long international enquiry into how he financed himself with money salted in bank accounts all over the world; the enquiry will involve the police forces of Britain, America and the Nordic countries.

I have no idea whether he had help within Norway and have no opinion on the matter. I have pointed out that he has claimed to have been in touch with groups outside Norway, including Paul Ray, ex-English Defence League and The Knights Templars, and that his statement has been confirmed by Ray, who has been questioned by the British police - presumably because they believe it to be possible. Perhaps today's Daily Telegraph might help understand why the "implications are greater than for attacks by lone Jihadists?". Jim Carroll Norway attacks: Is the man who inspired Breivik a Briton? After killer Anders Breivik claimed that he had a mentor in Britain, fears are growing that terrorism from far-Right extremists is becoming a real threat here. By Gordon Rayner and Matthew Holehouse 7:30AM BST 30 Jul 2011 Could it happen here? From the moment it became clear that the gunman who carried out the world's worst mass shooting was a white supremacist, the question facing every political leader in the West was whether they had been blind to the threat of terrorism from the far Right. Anders Behring Breivik may be "insane", as his lawyer put it, but he is certainly not alone in his paranoid hatred of multiculturalism, nor is he the first extremist to believe that murdering his countrymen would make him, in his own words, "a hero". David Copeland, let's not forget, murdered three people and injured 129 when he detonated three nail bombs in London in 1999 during a 13-day campaign targeting the black, Bangladeshi and gay communities. Since then a stream of British fascists has been convicted of plotting similar bomb attacks they believed would trigger a race war aimed primarily at the spread of Islam. So it should have come as no surprise, perhaps, that Breivik was in regular contact with supporters of the English Defence League (EDL), the latest far-Right group to crystallise around a hard core of anti-Islamification extremists. The EDL is mentioned 29 times in Breivik's manifesto. He claimed to have 600 EDL supporters among his Facebook friends. Almost inevitably, London was the city where he claimed to have embarked on his "crusade" after joining a secret society of anti-Islamic "martyrs". His description of the inaugural meeting of the "Knights Templar", originally a medieval Christian order that is now a symbol for far-Right extremists, appears to have been written by someone who has swallowed a Dan Brown novel: there are rituals involving skulls, candles and signatures in blood; ancient noms de guerre (Breivik's was Sigurd the Crusader) and a Masonic hierarchy for members." PS Ake: "Just be careful what you wish for Jim." Sorry - don't follow you - threat - promise - what? I do understand that your responses so far are remarkably similar to those of the EDL - surprise-surprise!! |

Oh dear, oh dear! As to why there is a need to (seek to) divert this particular thread into a discussion of "islamist jihadists" as Keith appears to want to, well I can only guess. The fact remains that the Oslo crimes need to be treated on their own, the relationship of the perpetrator to far-right European fellow travellers is a legitimate subject for consideration. Seeking to suck in(to this topic) Islamic jihadist associations is suspect and points, once more, to a decidedly political agenda on the part of Mr Keith of A. "I believe the weather forecasters.

I agree. "Seeking to suck in(to this topic) Islamic jihadist associations is suspect and points, once more, to a decidedly political agenda on the part of Mr Keith of A. " I think it reasonable to make comparisons. Many commentators on the day described this attack as having the "hall marks" of Islamic terror, and Breivik consciously aped their terminology. As Jim says, there is a cause for concern that there may be more attacks by the Far Right. This was not the first after all. I do tend to assume that tomorrow's weather will be as forecast. That does not make it my opinion. I have neither the knowledge, data or training to provide weather forecasts. Is that an unusual position? |

Whether or not I am "the worst offender...." may or may not be the case; on a subject as serious as racism I expect there to be strong - often over-the-top discussion, especially when racist statements are made in the course of that discussion - I am prepared to give and take as much as people feel the subject merits and am happy to accept as much stick as I give.

Nothing whatsoever to do "as Keith appears to want to be". Please correct if I am wrong here but an Islamist group very early on in the passage of events did attempt, rather pathetically, to claim responsibility for the bomb in Oslo. On the other hand NO right wing extremist group has sought to claim responsibility at all. That being the case, and IT IS THE CASE, if publicity is the sole objective in raising their concerns with regard to immigration, why have there been no claims from the racists who wish to bring this topic to the fore and see an end to immigration from muslim countries? One simple, rational, explanation could be that Breivik DID ACT ALONE. Personally I will wait and see what such investigations as are ongoing turn up. My gut feeling is that they will conclude that he did act alone and that there is no link to any "movement", its very seldom on this forum that I whole-heartedly agree with MGOH, but Kevin is right in what he stated earlier - this guy is a fantasist. |

On Brit who has been in contact with Breitvik via a psuedo-military chat site on the Net, in one memorable quote, says "he seemed like a nice bloke. "why have there been no claims from the racists who wish to bring this topic to the fore and see an end to immigration from muslim countries?" "Leader of the league, Tommy Robinson condemns the killings "but he does not want to decry the beliefs that led to Breivik's actions.... "the slaughter might wake Europeans up" That's a show of solidarity if anything is - it's even been echoed on this thread.

I was doing electrical work in the pub in Dean Street, Soho, a few weeks before the nail-bomber made his feelings known about homosexuals, so please don't say "it can't happen here" - it can and has. I wonder why some people are so keen to quote "experts" on the one hand, and try to tell them how to do their job when it goes against the grain of your own particular philosophies - funny that!!!

06 Aug 11 - 04:48 PM (#3202886) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: McGrath of Harlow Claiming responsibility for an atrocity - truly or falsely - makes tactical sense for an organisation in some circumstances, but not always. It is a way of asserting power - but it comes at a cost. Circumstances alter cases. Especially where there is widespread abhorrence of what has been done, it can make better sense to avoid any claim of responsibility, but to encourage the idea that the culprit is a lone individual, driven to take extreme action by social and political faults in society - with the implication that similar things can be expected to happen again. It appears to have been common practice in the Northern Ireland for responsibility for particular atrocities to be laid off to some non-existent grouplet, or just left floating without any claim. The bottom line here is, we just don't know. The failure of organisations who share Breivik's views to claim responsibility tells us nothing whatsoever. As would be the case equally if there were such claims. |

06 Aug 11 - 06:09 PM (#3202931) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Teribus Ah so Jim, the short version of that is that there have been no claims of responsibility from any right-wing group - None at all. I mean really, as an "authority" Paul Ray of "The Knights Templars"!!! "Jesus-H-Come-Dancing-Christ" they cannot even get the name of their supposed historic roots right And talking about getting things right - Who is "Terribus" when he or she is at home? The "nail bomber" who made his feelings known against homosexuals targeted who? Rhetorical question he struck in accordance with his own prejudices against that specific community in a very localised way. Breivik made his feelings known against unrestricted immigration and targeted who? Rhetorical question he struck at the political party he held responsible for allowing and/or encouraging(according to his perception) immigration to Norway, he did not strike against the immigrant communities themselves - He could have done but specifically did not. The bottom line Kevin is that if Breivik had any help or assistance whatsoever, the Norwegian authorities will find that out, as I have said before my guess is that they will find nothing of any substance at all, had he truly been acting in concert with others - he would have succeeded in hitting his main target - he failed because he was delayed by traffic - he failed because he was acting alone. |

Where have I ever said that and what possible "exploitation" can there be in not taking chances? I might just as well suggest that you are you trying to draw the attention away from the fact that there are racist organisations in Britain and elsewhere that peddle race hatred in order than they can get on with their scheming unmolested. Don't you dare accuse me of exploiting this situation - it wasn't me who made the link between Brietvik's actions and Muslims. Nor was it me who suggested that he might have a reason to complain and that the relevant governments should start listening to those complaints - ".....driven over the edge by the policies of the Norwegian government" - a clear enough suggestion, to me at least, that the Norwegian authorities were partly to blame for this massacre. I don't know one way or the other whether he had accomplices, neither do you, nor does anybody else, and it would be murderously irresponsible to rule out any possibility until we know the situation for certain. These people are not 'politicos' who only organise themselves to win votes at the next election. They are inciters of hatred who work to draw attention to their particular twisted causes by whatever means possible, and attempt to incite people to act on those causes, whether it be by putting a cross next to their candidate's name at the next election, or by throwing bricks through the windows of your local Asian corner shop. If the police think it worthwhile following up Ray's claims, and if, as the Daily Telegraph article suggests: "...fears are growing that terrorism from far-Right extremists is becoming a real threat here", what on earth's your problem in supporting their doing so - are you trying to make political capital of the situation by suggesting that they are not doing their job properly? I have nowhere suggested that taking a racist threat seriously might "stop the police doing their job", or if I have, where? You, on the other hand, are suggesting that taking seriously Breitvik's "wake-up" call is a waste of time and resouces - why?

"Who is Brietvik and what were his actions?" He is a mass murdered who slaughtered young people to bring attention to, and hoped to get support for his racist cause; certainly succeeded with the former, seems to have gathered a few supporters for the latter - here and elsewhere.

When the typos fail to hide the fact that someone has run out of petrol wth his arguments, try a thread-drift; who knows, it might work. here are plenty of actions worthy of examinaion - Catholics killing Protestants, Protestants killing Catholics, troops massacring unarmed demonstrators, nations using chemical weapons on civilians, internment without trial, torture (aka "special rendition")..... the list is endless. So unless you want to start a thread coveing them all, I suggest you stick to the topic in hand, which is a massacre carried out as "a wakeup call" against immigration and multiculturalism, and how it should be investigated and dealth with - wake up boy - you'll never pass exams while you're half asleep! "I know the ones that would come top of my list." So do we - after all, why should you bother your arse about a murderous fascist?

Neither you nor anyone else for that matter can have any idea at all regarding what "bunch of brain-deads", regardless of political persuasion, might be influenced by this fictional character (Brietvik) you have latched onto (I am sure that there may very well be a Mr. Brietvik somewhere, who would not be at all pleased in you dragging his name into this). All of which sort of indicates the faux-outrage and concern penned by Carroll. It tends to rob your argument of a great deal of credibility if you cannot even be bothered to get the name of the man in custody for the bombing and the shootings right. The man who oddly enough has not sought to deny his crimes, the only thing he denies is "criminal responsibility" for them. As far as I can determine you and you alone are the only person on this thread attempting to give this man Breivik (Note spelling) and "his cause" any oxygen. As far as I can determine the Norwegians are handling all this a damn sight better than you appear to be doing - they are just letting the police get on with the job.

10 Aug 11 - 11:52 AM (#3205396) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Jack Campin [Teribus] Whose war-cry at the Battle of Flodden Jim Lad? The Scots Army? Somehow strongly doubt that. I can find no mention of it not even in Niall Barr's new book on the battle, or in any of the eye-witness accounts of the battle. The tradition is that it was the warcry of the men of Hawick, used at that battle after centuries of use in more local fights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teribus_ye_teri_odin Hawick Common Riding I play the tune for those words (or rather the pipe march version of it) about once a week on average. It's one of the best known tunes in Scottish tradition and a fair proportion of people involved in Scottish trad know the backstory. (It would never occurred to me that anybody on a folk music forum using it as a handle would not have intended to allude to all of this). Where does the Salvation Army come into it? |

10 Aug 11 - 01:42 PM (#3205490) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Teribus Ahh - Popularly Believed To Be - so that makes it definite then?? "References to the "war cry" teribus an teriodin do not appear much before the early 19th century." - conveniently omitted from same wiki article quoted by Jim Lad - Flodden occured when in the early 19th Century Jim? I though Flodden took place on 9th September, 1513 - No wonder the Scots lost Jim they shouted their war-cry 300 years too late so nobody heard it. The evidence looks pretty shaky as an actual war-cry, "Teribus" is however well known and recorded as being the title of a song. Now who said what was what again? How's that for an argument - Jim Lad? |

10 Aug 11 - 02:07 PM (#3205514) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Teribus The song "Teribus" is the oldest of the Hawick songs - written by James Hogg (The Ettrick Shepherd) in 1819 - His original title for it was "The Colour" but it became universally known and accepted by the shorter title "Teribus" (First word of the chorus) The tune dates back to the 16th Century and is known as "The Eternal Air". |

All that aside - perhaps you'd like to explain why the pursuing of the combtants (I assume you refer to both republican and loyalist terrorism) of a long-dead conflict, and inflicting damage an on-going peace process, takes precedence over the following up of a recent massacre aimed at inciting race hatred and further killing. In spite of your claims to the contrary, a likely link has been established between two English fascist organisations and the killer - shouldn't you get your priorities right Torpiodus lad?

10 Aug 11 - 03:00 PM (#3205557) Subject: RE: BS: Oslo Bombing and Shooting at Youth Camp From: Jack Campin The point is that folklore has labelled that song as a war cry for a VERY long time; Hogg adapted something well known in his day. He didn't make the folk beliefs about its significance up. Everybody in southern Scotland then thought it had militaristic connotations, and almost everybody today who knows the song at all still thinks that. It looks like you picked your handle without having much of a clue what it signified. |

By the bye - The "war-cry" if it ever was one at Flodden or anywhere else is "Teribus Ye Teri Odin" My handle is "Teribus" which is the title of a song, and that I originally pointed out to Jim Lad, so "Teribus" apart from being the title of a border song that tells an old story - signifies nothing. Jim is not strong on detail, history, or accuracy, it would appear that neither are you. |

Really?? Where?? Security alerts for any sort of attack are heightened where?? As far as I can make out they remain much the same as they did before. In the UK the major security concerns remain to be the Real IRA and Islamic Fundamentalist motivated attacks in that order.

Well outside of a few eedjits on this forum nobody is dicussing Breivik in the context of politics. Any idea how many manifestos are written, and written perfectly legally? How would this stand with the right of free speech and self-expression? "Monitor fertilizer sales"? Already done and was done in this case, that alone tells you nothing. Breivik only made one purchase which on face value was completely above board. It is not only sales you want to monitor it is verified use you need to keep track of. "Monitor gun sales"? Already done, but illegal guns are available to any crook that wants them, so this measure guarantees nothing whatsoever. Requests to Plastic Surgeons?? You are kidding right?? |

I have nowhere mentioned "cells and accomplices" - that is solely your own invention. The concern all round - except from you apparently, lies with the nutters who could decide to copycat his actions (aren't you into guns? If not, there are certainly plenty of nutters out there who are). Read the Telegraph (hardly a leftie scaremongeing publication) article you keep ignoring. Sorry, your "Come out with your hands up and we won't harm you" plea doesn't really ring true somehow. Given your track record, I'd sooner take their word for it, thanks all the same.

"a recent massacre aimed at inciting race hatred and further killing." - Jim Carroll - Date: 10 Aug 11 - 02:55 PM Care to explain to us how Breivik's attacks could possibly incite race hatred? I can see how the claim by Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami could do that, and that is why they did make their claim of responsibility, but not Breivik's attack on the Government Office in Oslo or the Arbeiderpartiet Youth Organisation rally on Utøya. Breivik's motivation can be described as racist, his selected targets most certainly were not, they were demonstrably political in nature. The full investigation into Breivik will not prevent any future "copycat attacks", particularly if it is found that he did act alone. So I am "anxious to call the investigation off" am I. Care to provide any evidence in support of that supposition of yours? Do I believe that the UK faces greater terrorist/security threats than any possible future Breivik-type copycat attack - Of course I do, but at no point at all have I ever proposed or suggested that the investigation into Breivik be called off. |
