Cowardly fuck to target a youth camp. Apparently he was dressed in a police uniform and had them gather around him before he started shooting.

This is sport, as we wait for detail on who's responsible. The Times has walked back a little:
According to Will McCants, a terrorism analyst at C.N.A., a research institute, a previously unknown group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying they were a response to the presence of Norwegian forces in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad. But Norwegian television reports later suggested that the group had denied responsibility. In the immediate aftermath of recent terrorist attacks, jihadi forums are often filled with claims and counterclaims that are impossible to independently confirm. |

Times update
After the shooting the police seized a 32-year-old Norwegian man on the island, according to the police and Justice Minister Knut Storberget. He was later identified as Anders Behring Breivik and characterized by officials as a right-wing extremist, citing previous writings including on his Facebook page. The acting police chief, Sveinung Sponheim, said the suspect’s Internet postings “suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen.” He said the suspect had also been seen in Oslo before the explosions. The police and other authorities declined to say what the suspect’s motivations might have been, but many speculated that the target was Mr. Stoltenberg’s liberal government. |

I bet it was The Spanish Inquisition.
No one expects The Spanish Inquisition.

The thing is, I didn't even mention them first. I mentioned Islamist groups, before I mentioned right-wing extremists.
I think it's fair to say Islamic terror was the first thing we all thought about. Especially given past threats and recent plots. But there is always the possibility of far-right, neo-nazi attacks in Europe and Scandinavia. In some parts there is always the possibility of far-left groups engaging in terrorism. Recently there has been an upsurge in neo-nazi activity across Europe and Scandinavia, so obviously, the next thought after Islamists is neo-nazis.

Timothy McVeigh or Osama bin Laden. What is the difference? Only their excuses. Similar people with a similar attitude. You don't see moderates as terrorists attacking airplanes, people, and buildings.

I think we now understand that this was due to Sarah Palin's violent rhetoric.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Granny Palin's hyperbolic cure for teen pregnancy.
