Why wait for the facts when we have a convenient scapegoat in Islam. Every problem is either caused by Muslims or Pesident Obama
Muslim extremists have gotten very good at causing problems like this. My post above is satire about the rush to defend likely suspects. If there is one thing that is uncharacteristic of Muslim extremists, it's the apparent desire to avoid indiscriminate casualties in the initial bombing, but that itself isn't consistent with firearms attacks. This may well be something that's targeting a domestic political group, but I wouldn't rush to judgement to blame domestic groups.
Timothy McVeigh would never do such a thing.
Not now, he won't.

RE: Norway?
Satan's followers...errr....I mean Muslim Extremists claim responsibility.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/world/...ml?_r=2&hp
Quote:A terror group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, according to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at C.N.A., a research institute that studies terrorism. 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, according to Mr. McCants’ translation, apparently referring to a bombing in Sweden in December 2010. “What you see is only the beginning, and there is more to come.” The claim could not be confirmed.

14. I'm a Norwegian living in Germany, this is surreal
It can't be a gas explosion, because we don't have a central gas system, and i am almost absolutely sure there are no gas pipes in these buildings.
The building hit is the ministry of oil and energy.
We have been under threat ever since the Muhammed cartoons came out, and a terror cell was uncovered a year ago.
I am worried that this is going to cause serious tensions - Oslo is around 20% islamic.
From, "Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat":
Quote:After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

That Muslim group has claimed responsibility but it makes no sense with the police stating that the gentleman was tall and blonde.

Muslims come in all shapes, sizes, races, etc. There are lily-white blond liberal Americans here in the U.S. who are Muslim because, well, A) they're liberal, B) they think it's "enlightened", and C) they naive as hell.

"Gentleman" wasn't the first term that sprang to mind.

I agree but this doesnt seem to fit on this occasion. This seems obviously like a hit on the Norwegian Labor Party. The internal politics of the whole thing doesnt seem to fit al-Qaeda's MO.

Caveat emptor
"the rumor on reddit is, the white guy who shot up the summer camp is tied to the bombing. hes an environmental terrorist, upset at some recent deregulation. it would explain why the oil ministry was targeted, and why the bomb was set off on a holiday. the camp he shot up was owned or sponsored by some political party over there"

RE: Norway?
I dont take my rumors from reddit. The Norwegian authorities have said that the 2 attacks are related and that they have a man of Nordic appearance in custody.
