Breaking News: Explosion Shatters Norwegian Capital
« on: July 22, 2011, 10:42:08 AM »
OSLO, Norway (AP) - A large explosion shattered windows Friday at the government headquarters in Oslo, which houses the prime minister's office, injuring several people.

Quote
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg is safe, government spokeswoman Camilla Ryste told The Associated Press. There was no immediate word on the cause of the blast.

Witness Ole Tommy Pedersen was standing at a bus stop near the high-rise around 3:30 p.m. (1330 GMT) when he saw the blast shatter almost all windows of the 20-floor high rise. He said a cloud of smoke is billowing from the bottom floors.

...

The government building houses the prime minister's office and his administration. Several ministries are in surrounding buildings.

The blast comes as the Scandinavian country has grappled with a series of homegrown terror plots linked to al-Qaida, and six years after an uproar over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in neighboring Denmark.

Last week, a Norwegian prosecutor filed terror charges against an Iraqi-born cleric for threatening Norwegian politicians with death if he's deported from the Nordic country.

The indictment centered on statements that Mullah Krekar -- the founder of the Kurdish Islamist group Ansar al-Islam -- made to various media, including American network NBC.

Danish authorities say they have foiled several terror plots linked to the 2005 newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad 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 a cartoonist who caricatured the Prophet Muhammad.

An update says car bomb.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Norway

Quote
Islam is the largest minority religion in Norway, which consist between 2.0% and 3.4% of the population. In 2007, government statistics registered 79,068 members of Islamic congregations in Norway, about 10% more than in 2006.[1] 56% lived in the counties of Oslo and Akershus.[2] Scholarly estimates regarding the number of people of Islamic background in Norway vary between 120,000 (2005) and 163,000 (2009).[3] The vast majority have an immigrant background, with Norwegians of Pakistani descent being the most visible and well-known group. The Islamic community in Norway is highly diverse, but many mosques are organised in the umbrella organisation Islamic Council Norway (Islamsk Råd Norge).
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I'm waiting to see how long it takes for the rest of the media to get around to including the information about al Qaida that CNS did.

If I knew how to do a screen grab of the CNS piece, I would, just in case revisionism happens.

Neil Perry has sent me more details of the shooting on the Labour party youth camp, which suggests co-ordinated attacks. It is a Google translation from Dagbladet, tidied up a bit, so it is not perfect.

    yewitnesses told the AP that a man dressed as a police officer has fired several shots at Utøya in Buskerud. AP spoke with one of those who were on Utoya where there is an AUF event with over 700 people.

    "Suddenly, we heard lots of shooting. People had to run and hide. We have been told to get off the island."

    "We now have reports of a serious situation there - a critical situation on Utøya," Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told TV 2

    The police are now on site and sealed off the area. Bjorn Jarle Røberg-Larsen of Labor, is not in Utoya, but has had telephone contact with young people who are on the island.

    "They say that at least one person wearing a police-like uniform was firing shots with a handgun," he said.

    He says that the young people he talked to were hiding and dared not speak on the phone anymore for fear of being discovered by the perpetrator.

    "Young people have to swim in panic, and it is far to the mainland from Utoya. Others are hiding. Those I spoke with did not want to talk more. They were terrified," he said to VG Nett.

And on a not unrelated note, literally 100% of the rapes in Oslo are committed by "immigrants".  What the hell else is it going to take?  It's like that scene from H.G. Wells Time Machine, where the Eloi are lined up and passively marching to become food for the Morlocks.

18.03 Will McCants now says that Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami (Helpers of Global Jihad) seem to make a claim of responsibility. They claim it is in response to the occupation of Afghanistan and insults to the Prophet Mohammed. It has come via Shmukh, an elite jihadi forum

Now they're saying it is a home-grown terrorist. 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14262956

But I'm confused...this guy did the island shooting...and the bombing and Jihad only leeched onto the action cause they like the outcome?

This story has a lot of questions to ask, but so far the MFM is having too much fun pinning this on a white neo-nazi clown.  Little would it occur to them that many of the people jihadists and nazis hate are the same people.

The Norwegian police on Saturday charged a man they identified as a right-wing fundamentalist Christian in connection with a bombing in central Oslo and a shooting attack on a nearby island that killed at least 92 people.

In America, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. In Norway, it’s an hour and a half.

That's the angle they're playing.  McVeigh redux.  Right wing, right wing, right wing ......   Still dodging around the fact that the Nazi's were LEFTIES.

I've been reading Gates of Vienna.  They have numerous posts and comments about this.  Here's one:  What Do We Know?

Quote
The mass murderer at Utøya is now said to have been a Norwegian named Anders Behring Breivik. He is reported to have posted frequent comments at various anti-jihad websites up until sometime last year. The Scandinavians tell me that these comments showed mainstream Counterjihad sentiments, with no incitements to violence or evidence of homicidal insanity.

Perhaps for that reason, some people have rushed to identify Mr. Breivik as “one of us”, that is, a member of the Counterjihad, more or less like me, Fjordman, Bat Ye’or, Robert Spencer, or Geert Wilders. This is absurd. If this slanderous meme is pushed by the MSM and they continue to beat that hollow drum, then judge them by their fruits.

Quote
Consider these questions:

1.  How do you know the man who made those comments on various websites is the man who is in custody now?
2.  How do you know that the identity assigned to the man existed more than a few days ago?
3.  Has anyone tracked the supposed culprit from childhood through high school and university, right up to today? If this were the USA, hundreds of reporters would be analyzing his old report cards, talking to his aunties, interviewing his former employers, etc. Is any of that happening now in Norway?
4.  Is there any substantive information about him that was not provided via the government or government-backed media?

The Left and the media (but I repeat myself) is really going to town on this.  Can we say "Reichstag Fire" yet?

Again, any one person with a CCW could have ended that before 90+ people were shot. But no, the media will go full throttle with their old assumption that if firearms can be un-invented by statute and regulation, everyone will live in peace and harmony.

They're also going full throttle with another meme, already printing headlines like "Muslims feel sting of initial blame". Boo freaking hoo. Maybe if they weren't killing people around the world with such disgusting regularity no one would have thought of them first.

Out of the whole spectrum of leftism, the journalistic malpractice of "the media" enrages me perhaps most of all. They are the enemies of individual liberty, working tirelessly to debase our entire culture, and I look forward to the comeuppance heading their way.

Reading around the web, it looks as though this guy is the left's dream come to life - a self-proclaimed, right-wing, anti-muslim, anti-multi-culti, anti-Oppressive mass murderer of "children".  (Scare quotes around children because there have been few pictures; the one that was published was of a 30-something man, and the media has been very quiet on this element.)

He's a perfect representation of everything the left says of the right.  He also managed to devise, assemble and detonate a massive bomb with little to no "formal training".

Something stinks in Norway.

I said the same thing re: CCW to my family last night G.  These liberal European countries and their insane fear of guns in the hands of responsible citizens could have made a huge difference on that island!  So the leftists have a lot of blood on their hands yet again.

And there is too much repetitive ring-wing hate roiling through the MFM and Leftardland to get at any real truth here.  We'll see if he stays alive long enough for trail.  Usually mass murderers that don't kill themselves and survive their atrocity can't wait to tell people why.

If he is a neo-nazi, then people have to understand what the word socialist in national socialist party really means!

Plus, the hog-piling on fundamentalist Christians tarring all Christians as evil apostates like this prick is playing a game the left hates to have played against Muzzies...but until mainstream Christians start killing people on the same scale as the Muzzies they better stuff that Christian-bashing crap right now!  It sure does stink of a "Reichstag Fire" manipulation about it!

Wow. I downloaded and have glanced at the manifesto. No, I haven’t read all 1500+ pages, and probably never will.

This man is in no way insane. What he did was commit a cold-blooded, conscious, premeditated act of war against the Norwegian ruling class. Those are the people who are responsible for opening the floodgates for Muslim immigration.

He deliberately targeted and exterminated the next generation of Socialist leaders of that country. That was what the “youth camp” was all about: The children of the elites were being groomed to take their “rightful place” in the leadership.

Yep, we’ll be seeing more of this sort of thing, all right. And of course the elites will crack down even harder on any kind of dissent.

World Civil War I, folks. Get used to it.

Dozens of excellent comments, as usual, at Belmont Club.
