Comment made *before* the Norway killer was identified
Edited on Sat Jul-23-11 06:55 PM by Liberal_in_LA
From sfgate.com. Comment made and received hundreds of recs yesterday before it was known who the Norway terrorist was:

I hope that one day incidents like this will lead Europeans to come to the defense of their own civilizations and clamp down on the hate and intolerance that takes perverse advantage of European tolerance and openness.

2. There were a number of snap judgments on DU as well.
People were speculating about religious extremism, etc., before much information had even come out about the attacks themselves.

4. The fact that now there are two groups of ideologically driven violent fanatics
in Europe doesn't negate the fact that Wahabi/Saudi financed intolerent Islamic extremism is a problem in Europe that needs to be grappled with.

5. It is a very sad irony
that it was Norway's tolerance and openness that fed this killer's hatred.

6. That comment was not unusual on M$Greedia
It was amazing to watch them parade these 'experts' who all had the identical talking points straight out of right wing think tanks.

And the minute they realized it was a right wing Xtian fundamentalist conservative Norwegian Caucasian they all went silent.

Even the BBC stopped pointing out that it was an attack on the Norwegian Labour Party and their youth movement.

The right wing control the discussion.

8. Well, that's still good advice...just not in the way it was intended.
There was this one incident where Europeans (and Americans) came to the defense of their own civilizations...World War Two.

10. Hey, I'm sorry, but I'm wondering what NYT & WaPo knew and when they knew it. Seemed pretty certain,
Edited on Sat Jul-23-11 07:44 PM by patrice

And it wouldn't be the first time we were set-up to attack Muslims by the NYT and others.
