Explosion in Oslo

Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that a terrible act committed by a right-wing, self confessed Muslim hater was initially claimed by a Muslim extremist group?

Every extremist wants to take credit for death and destruction. It is the mantra that drives their existence. Even bin Laden tried to claim responsibility from the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, Cheney blamed Saddam. The Christian coalition blamed gays. And whalers blamed Greenpeace.

What I see is some among the right wing in the US suggesting that Norway was susceptible to this type of horrific attack because they are neutral in the "war on terrorism" or even worse, attempting to use the attack to deflect attention to a perceived problem of Muslim extremists in Norway.
