Norway shooting: Glenn Beck compares dead teenagers to Hitler youth. Beck, a multimillionaire darling of the Tea Party movement, said on his nationally-syndicated radio show: "There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler youth. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics? Disturbing. " Torbjørn Eriksen, a former press secretary to Jens Stoltenberg, Norway's prime minister, described the comment as "a new low" for the broadcaster, who has frequently been forced to apologise for offensive remarks. "Young political activists have gathered at Utoya for over 60 years to learn about and be part of democracy, the very opposite of what the Hitler Youth was about," he told The Daily Telegraph.

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, a Washington-based campaign group, said the remark by Beck, a free agent after being forced out of the Fox News channel earlier this year, was "absolutely disgusting". Glenn Beck: Norway Victims Similar to Hitler Youth. Right-wing terror in Norway. A tribute of flowers and candles in Oslo to remember the victims of a right-wing terror attack CLOSE TO 100 people died in Norway at the hands of a far-right fanatic whose connections to the organized racists and Islamophobes extend to the anti-Muslim bigots in the U.S. Anders Behring Breivik is accused of setting a car bomb in downtown Oslo. At least seven people died in the blast in front of the Oil Ministry, but which also apparently targeted a 17-story office tower that contained the offices of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, leader of the governing Labor Party.

But the much more terrible death toll came from a shooting spree at an island summer camp for young members of the Labor Party. Breivik, dressed as a police officer, reportedly claimed he was on the island of Utoya, northwest of Oslo, for a "security check. " After gathering campers together, he opened fire--and proceeded to hunt down and kill dozens more after the initial bloodbath. PM: Israel identifies with 'deep pain and gr... JPost - Headlines.

Islamophobia manifested in Oslo - The Drum Opinion - While Anders Behring Breivik may have acted alone in Oslo, the ideas behind his rampage are spreading far and wide.

Find More Stories Islamophobia manifested in Oslo Jeff Sparrow Back in 2009, I wrote a piece for New Matilda on the rise of the Islamophobic right in Europe and the United States, in which I noted the mainstreaming of a violent, apocalyptic anti-Muslim discourse. The people writing the stuff – the bloggers, the pundits, the intellectuals – were not, I suggested, themselves necessarily given to violence. But, as I said, "you can't warn against looming race wars over the future of civilisation, and not expect the boots-and-braces crowd to launch a preemptive strike". It's increasingly clear that's what's happened in Oslo. In his lengthy manifesto, Anders Behring Breivik, spells out the justification for his attack on the Labour Party youth camp. In other words, he saw, explicitly, his crimes as political – as the opening shots in a broader war against Muslims and their allies.

Other commentators, now that they know he's not a Muslim, have dismissed Breivik as a lunatic rather than a terrorist. x. MJ Rosenberg: Unfucking believable. The... Huge Blast in Oslo, Norway. Near Prime Minister’s Office. Hunt for Britons linked to Norway killer Anders Behring Breivik. Norway’s challenge - JPost - Opinion - Editorials. The cold-blooded calculation of the Norway tragedy boggles the mind. For over an hour, Anders Behring Breivik, 32, dressed as a police officer and armed with a rifle and a hand gun, prowled Utoeya, a tiny forested holiday island a few dozen kilometers from Oslo, calmly massacring teenagers. The youngsters had been attending the annual summer camp for the youth wing of Norway’s ruling Labor party. With no one armed to confront Breivik, escape from the island by water was the only avenue to safety. When he finally was forced to put down his weapons by a police team that reportedly took 40 minutes to respond, at least 86 were dead and many more were wounded.

Just hours before Breivik, a former member of a populist anti-immigration party who wrote blogs attacking multiculturalism and Islam, had detonated a bomb in Oslo’s government district that killed seven.

Utøya island attack: another example of news helicopters faster to the scene than police choppers « David Cenciotti's weblog.

Follow up post (Jul. 25, 2011) Yesterday, a friend of mine sent me a message after seeing images taken from a helicopter of Anders Behring Breivik shooting people at Utøya island during the so-called 2011 Norway attacks. He couldn’t understand why there could be images of the murderer before the police had arrived into the island. The explaination is simple: those images were taken by a news helicopter that was able to reach Utøya and shoot the footage well before the Police’s Special Forces could manage to reach the island (1 hour and 35 minutes after Breivik had begun massacring people). People on Social Networks was astonished that a news chopper could intervene quicker than a police one, however, there are many media helicopters overflying the largest town of the world and, quite often, they are able to get exclusive images in the immediate aftermath of disasters and terrorist attacks.

Witnesses of Friday's mass killings in the Norwegian youth camp say there were two terrorists as the shootings were coming from "two different places on the island at the same time," Norwegian VG paper reported on Saturday. At least 92 people were killed in two separate attacks in Norway on Friday. Seven people reported to be killed in a bomb explosion at a government headquarters in Oslo and 85 were killed in a shooting at a youth summer camp on the Utoya island, near the capital. Several young people who survived Utoya's massacre, told VG paper that the shootings were coming from "two different places on the island at the same time. " "I believe that there were two people who were shooting," VG quoted a 23-year old Alexander Stavdal.

Norwegian police arrested on Friday a 32-year-old ethnic Norwegian, Anders Behring Breivik, who is believed to be behind the attack. An anonymous 16-year old girl told VG paper that the gunmen seemed to be in a hurry, but nevertheless "always made ?? Officials: Attacks were Norway’s Oklahoma City, not Sept. 11 - Elias Groll. Details of two deadly attacks Friday in Norway quickly outpaced U.S. officials’ initial responses, which assumed the bombing in Oslo and a mass shooting at a youth camp outside the city were the work of a terrorist organization. But by late Friday, police and government officials in the Scandinavian country were comparing the attacks to the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City — as the work of one of its own citizens, unrelated to Al Qaeda or any other terror movement.

Continue Reading The attacks have claimed nearly 100 lives, including an estimated 7 who died when a bomb explosion ripped through the main government building in downtown Oslo. As many as 80 died on the island of Utøya, where the the suspected gunman — identifed as 32-year-old Anders Breivik — attacked a youth summer camp run by the country’s ruling political party. “It seems it’s not Islamic-terror related,” a Norwegian official said, according to The Associated Press. The Associated Press contributed. Ravi Somaiya: How an unconfirmed report... The omnipotence of Al Qaeda and meaninglessness of "Terrorism" - Glenn Greenwald. For much of the day yesterday, the featured headline on The New York Times online front page strongly suggested that Muslims were responsible for the attacks on Oslo; that led to definitive statements on the BBC and elsewhere that Muslims were the culprits. The Washington Post‘s Jennifer Rubin wrote a whole column based on the assertion that Muslims were responsible, one that, as James Fallows notes, remains at the Post with no corrections or updates.

The morning statement issued by President Obama — “It’s a reminder that the entire international community holds a stake in preventing this kind of terror from occurring” and “we have to work cooperatively together both on intelligence and in terms of prevention of these kinds of horrible attacks” — appeared to assume, though (to its credit) did not overtly state, that the perpetrator was an international terrorist group.

How’s that again? Are the only terrorists in the world Muslim? Norway shooting survivor played dead among bodies - World. A Norway youth camp shooting survivor told CBC News Network Saturday that he played dead around the bodies of his friends and didn't dare move — even when the gunman shot him in the shoulder at close range. Adrian Pracon, 21, a youth leader at the Utoya camp who spoke to CBC News Network ahead of going into surgery for his wound, recalled how he was so close to the gunman that he "felt the warmth" from his weapon. Pracon said he was on his way up to the coffee shop to buy some chips and soda and planned to share with the other people about the bombing in Oslo when gunshots rang out.

"I'm standing there buying this and then 10, 20 seconds and the shooting started. People are running up hill towards coffee shop. Many made it but many didn't make it and were shot. They landed at my feet. " ' I could hear his breath, I could hear his shoes. "We all ran into the water, at which point, I didn't have time to take off my clothes, it was very hard to swim and I struggled," Pracon said. "I was lucky. At least 91 dead in Norway shooting, bomb attack. Fox News pairs Norway attacks with NYC Islamic center | Raw Replay. Friday night on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, guest host Laura Ingraham said the terror attacks in Norway that killed of at least 92 people appeared “to be the work, once again, of Muslim extremists.” “In the meantime, in New York City, the Muslims who want to build the mosque at Ground Zero scored a huge legal victory,” she continued, after describing the attacks.

“A Manhattan judge dismissed a lawsuit by former New York City firefighter Timothy Brown, who was trying to stop construction of the mosque.” Although it was reported by one terrorism analyst that a jihadist group claimed responsibility for the attack, it was later revealed that the attack was carried out by a 32-year-old conservative Christian who was strongly opposed to multiculturalism and Islam. Watch video, clipped by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters, below: Norway suspect Anders Behring Breivik 'admits attacks'

24 July 2011Last updated at 08:37 Live coverage from Oslo's cathedral of the memorial service for the victims of the terror attacks in Norway on Friday The man accused of a massacre at a youth camp in Norway and a bombing in the capital, Oslo, has admitted responsibility, his lawyer says. Anders Behring Breivik, 32, described his actions as "gruesome but necessary", and said he would explain himself at a court hearing on Monday. At least 85 people died when a gunman ran amok on Utoeya island on Friday, hours after an Oslo bomb killed seven. As Norway mourned the victims, police continued to search for the missing. At least four people from the island camp shooting are yet to be found; it is thought some may have drowned after swimming out into the lake to escape the hail of bullets. Police are using a mini-submarine to search for the missing bodies.

Police have also said another person may have been involved in Friday's attacks, which happened within hours of each other. 'Demanding suspect' Remember That "Eurabian Civil War"? If someone mentioned terrorism in Europe, you would probably have an idea about the size of the threat and who's responsible. It's big, you would think. And growing. As for who's responsible, that's obvious. It's Muslims. Or if you're a little more careful with your language, it's radical Muslims, or "Islamists. " After all, they were at it again just in the past month. On Dec. 11, a 28- year-old naturalized Swede - originally from Iraq - injured two people when he blew himself up on the way to a shopping district.

So the danger is big and growing, and Islamists are the source. Wrong, actually. The European Union's Terrorism Situation and Trend Report 2010 states that in 2009 there were "294 failed, foiled, or successfully executed attacks" in six European countries. So in most of Europe, there was no terrorism. As for who's responsible, forget Islamists. Islamists? Now, I don't want to overdo the point.
