There are now reports emerging of shots being fired at a children's summer camp in Norway as well.
Edit update: being reported as Utoya island with authorities en route. Wtf.
Time to invade a Middle Eastern country.
You can mock the US but it doesn't protect Scandinavians from criticism. (And I was always against the Iraq war.)
The Scandinavians are always so smug about the aggressive US being responsible for Muslim terrorist attacks and act like they treat minorities better when they only have microscopic minority populations. Recent Muslim attacks in Scandinavia show that your smugness is not warranted. Look around the world and you see that Muslims attack most foreign cultures they come into contact with (India, Russia, Europe, etc.)
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we wouldn't have these terror attacks had Afghanistan and Iraq been left alone. Oh, and the leaving troops in Saudi Arabia was a bad idea too. You mess with enough people, some will be bat-shit crazy enough to blow themselves up. Leave them alone and they'll mind their own business.
Sadly we may need 4 or 5 more of these types of attacks before Europe wakes up to the Islamic terrorism problem.
They do everything they can to appease these people and they still launch attacks and kill innocent people... perhaps we aren't dealing with rational people...

And don't forget not to insult Islam or draw Mohammed cartoons either! Sorry, but you're view of Islamic fundies is naive and has been proven wrong by these repeated attacks in all Scandinavian countries, including Sweden.
6.09pm: NRK is reporting that an unknown group called "Helpers of the Global Jihad" have posted a message that this is only the beginning of the reaction to Norwegian periodicals publishing the Muhammed cartoons, according to Andrew Boyle, a journalist in Norway.

Leaving Afghanistan alone? Please, would want nothing more. But you forget that it was the Taliban who attacked US first.
Denmark has more troops and casualties per capita than any other NATO country in Afghanistan. same situation in Iraq before we pulled out.
it was a Danish cartoonist that drew the mohammed Drawings, which I'm proud of, Norway and Sweden shouldn't take flak for that.

See, we've drawn Muhammed caricatures before 9/11 and guess what, NOTHING happened. Published in several large newspaper and nothing. Not a word. No flag burning in the streets, no attempted murder, nothing.
But in 2007, all of a sudden, you are not allowed to draw them in the Nordics anymore. Now flags are getting burned, ax-armed crazies tries to kill artists, etc. Gee, I wonder what happened between the last time and 2007... You want to make a guess?
Reminds me of this sceneI'm shocked. This is my shocked face.
You act like we 'left' them because we forgot to bring them home...You seem to forget the US left troops in Saudi Arabia, Muslim holy land, after the war in Kuwait was over. Guess who the fundamentalists believe to be the aggressors. You seem to forget 9/11 wasn't the first event in this.
Norway was bombed because of US involvement in the Middle East.
Maybe they're just as bad at geography as Americans?
