1. Terrorism. I wonder if "we" will "do" anything about it. nt

2. update says the police have him.

3. Is he the bomber?

4. People being interviewed on BBC say police say the

two events are linked. The PM was supposed to visit the Labour Party Youth Camp and of course his office was targeted.

Looking more like right wing madness McVeigh like madness

5. Seems that way.

So terrible for the people of Norway.

6. U.K. Telegraph reporting a jihadist group claiming responsibility n/t

7. They have a "nordic" jihadi?

It's possible I guess, but I doubt it.

9. There's a large Muslim immigrant population in Norway..

And some or a lot of them are pissed at Norway's involvement in Afghanistan.

10. Would that group look "nordic?"

12. Islam is a religion, not a race. There are communities of fair muslims in central Europe.

and in Northern Asia, who could easily have "Nordic" features. Just as there are large, generational communities of muslims in Africa and south-east Asia.

It's rather like asking if there could be a Baptist group with "Kenyen" or "Fillipino" features.

That being said, as in our own Oklahoma City bombing, it's best to keep speculation to a minimum until the facts actually come out. For a few days, that was suspected to be an Islamic plot...

18. It said "There's a large 'Muslim immigrant' population in Norway".

It's unlikely the immigrants look "nordic" no matter where they came from. :shrug:

20. Converts can sometimes be the most passionate and radical of all.

Religions suck.

[Renew Deal]

21. I get that

But Norwegian converts aren't immigrants

14. Converts can do this too

One of the 4 7/7 bombers in the UK was a convert - West Indian, and brought up Christian.

13. Why not? Germans have helped Middle Eastern terrorists, also.

Hamburg is quite the epi-center.

19. I'm not saying it's impossible.

God knows John Walker Lindh lost his mind and joined them.

8. McCants is now backtracking

19.08 Will McCants is now backtracking on Twitter on his earlier claims that Helpers of Global Jihad are behind the Oslo attack.

11. They're all backtracking

since the man arrested on the island is Nordic

[snagglepuss]

15. Accordijg to update on blog I linked to says authorities are confirming the

two incidents are linked and that they believe there is a bomb on Utoya.

I read elsewhere a group called Global Jihad claimed responsibilty for the bombing and referenced the Mohammed cartoons as a reason.

17. Looks like an Islamic terror group is claiming responsibility.
