I hope that the people of Norway will become more conscious of how important it is to accept that our culture is in fact changing as a result of increased immigration. The irony is that the ruling party has become more and more sceptical to immigration over the last 10 years, partly owing to losing votes to Fremskrittspartiet, a party strongly opposed to immigration.

This party has become the second largest party in Norway which indicates that Norwegians are not united in questions of multiculturalism. Anders Behring Breivik might have come to believe that he could increase this division among the Norwegian people, but I believe he has accomplished quite the opposite.

I have always rejected the arguments of the extreme right on immigration, most immigrants to Western Europe are just searching for a better life. Because immigrants tend to stick together in their new countries you will, to some extent, get high concentrations of foreigners in some areas. This makes the uninformed and bigoted very scared. The terror attack in my country last Friday has made me even more determined to explain to the uninformed how important immigration is to our small country.

In my opinion these attacks have highlighted how it is not multiculturalism that poses a threat to our country, but rather how extremist groups of any belief are a threat to open democracy.
