Terror in Norway: Shootout, bomb explosions kill 11

Oh. she was asking for it in the other 4500 cases? (900 per year for 5 years)

It would have saved thousands of lives, Iraqi civilians and countless Western troops. It would have stopped Al Qaida building up a power base in Iraq.

By "it" I assume you mean the assassination of George W Bush. So while you argue that Brooker was simply being innocently witty, you, on the other hand, seriously lament that no one with experience was around to deal with W.

Brooker is a light hearted columnist, which is why he appears in so many comedy shows, but his humour is a bit like concorde from your point of view.

Light hearted? I'd hate to meet someone you thought was darkly acerbic.

You know very little about British papers...

Did I not admit that?

So you're telling me that The Guardian has never expressed disdain for The Sun, nor The Sun for The Guardian, and that they don't compete for ad space?

Are you aware that there are different time zones. I can't respond when I'm asleep. Islamic extremism is a big problem, something we're all aware of. You are in complete denial about the problems of far right extremists though. They is a result of your right wing media whipping up the problem of Islamic terrorism out of all proportion. Narrow minded bigots like Gonga just transfer their hate from Blacks to Moslems. Look around you Finnbar, you'll see your fellow travellers are KKK like the docker's omelette. Do you really want to be associated with such vermin?

Islamic extremisim is a big problem or the US "right wing media" has whipped up Islamic terrorisim "out of all proportion?"

When was the last event, similar to the massacre in Norway, due to far right extremists? How does the frequency of Islamist terrorist attacks compare to that of far right extremist attacks?

In other words, the ruling libtard party had created an island paradise for the libtard party youth movement while simultaneously importing sufficient numbers of muslim immigrants to bring about 86 forcible rapes amongst the peasantry over the past year in a country in which forcible rape would otherwise not exist....

Ackerman said nationally, law enforcement has been focused since the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 on the threat of Islamic terrorism, even as the threat from domestic anti-government groups has been growing.

"Some people believe we have taken our eye off the ball when it comes to domestic right-wing extremists," he said.

And some efforts to combat the problem have been controversial. For instance, the Department of Homeland Security was forced to apologize in 2009 after a report surfaced warning law enforcement of the possibility that veterans returning from combat were susceptible to being radicalized by right-wing groups.

State police also seem more focused on the Islamic threat, Ackerman said.
State police agencies polled by START researchers in 2008 overwhelmingly reported the presence of potentially dangerous extremist groups across the political spectrum, with nearly 90% saying neo-Nazi, skinhead, militia groups and other right-wing groups were present in their state. About two-thirds reported radical Islamic groups.

But they tended to rank Islamic terrorists as the greatest concern ahead of right-wing groups in terms of the threat posed, LaFree said.

"I think there's a little bit of perceptual bias there," he said.

I hold a special hatred for people like the Norway bomber.

Just about everybody in the US whose family has any history of owning firearms remembers this one. They rounded up massive numbers of hunting rifles and every sort of firearm and shipped them all over to England because the English had tried to be PC by ending private ownership of arms and then the British went back to the same stupid **** the day the war ended. Too stupid to experience shame or something like that...

I think most extremists are beyond repugnant. I don't care if it's religious or political. While I can sympathize a cause, I deplore violence.
I hold a special hatred for people like the Norway bomber. I find it ironic that this man cited many of my heros as his own. I find it hard to believe many of their messages could be lost him, considering the privileges he enjoyed, in a society that had made him rich enough to finance his evil ways. He was well educated, never knew famine, war or disease. He's never know a day of hardship. He lived in a peaceful place and yet he found a reason to inflict pain and suffering on so many.
While much of the above could describe Osama Bin Ladin et al, I can't for the life of me understand why someone in England, Norway, Canada or the US could possibly be bothered with far right fundamentalist thinking. I don't understand people who go looking for a fight. I can't for the life of me understand why a person who lived a life like his would have so much to hate. I can't understand why people who live a gilded life compared to so many in the world would have time to burn a cross on someone's lawn or publish a 1500 page manifesto, or bomb and shoot at people who aren't the enemy. It blows my mind.
This is why I hold an especially hateful position on extremism, or most specifically white extremism. I hope that clarifies my position.

They were able to kill more than 3000 in a single day
