Norway: Terrorist Proclaimed Himself ‘Darwinian,’ Not ‘Christian’, Also Considered WMD and ‘Jihadi Alliance’
“WASHINGTON – A review of Anders Behring Breivik’s 1,500-page manifesto shows the media’s quick characterization of the Norwegian terrorist as a “Christian” may be as incorrect as it was to call Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh one.
Breivik was arrested over the weekend, charged with a pair of brutal attacks in and near Oslo, Norway, including a bombing in the capital city that killed 7 and a shooting spree at a youth political retreat on the island of Utoya that killed more than 80 victims.
Piecing together Breivik’s various posts on the Internet, many media reports have characterized the terrorist – who says he was upset over the multiculturalist policies stemming from Norway’s Labour Party – as a ‘right-wing, Christian fundamentalist.’
Yet, while McVeigh rejected God altogether, Breivik writes in his manifesto that he is not religious, has doubts about God’s existence, does not pray, but does assert the primacy of Europe’s ‘Christian culture’ as well as his own pagan Nordic culture.
Breivik instead hails Charles Darwin, whose evolutionary theories stand in contrast to the claims of the Bible, and affirms: ‘As for the Church and science, it is essential that science takes an undisputed precedence over biblical teachings. Europe has always been the cradle of science, and it must always continue to be that way. Regarding my personal relationship with God, I guess I’m not an excessively religious man. I am first and foremost a man of logic. However, I am a supporter of a monocultural Christian Europe.’
The terrorist also candidly admits he finds no support within either the Catholic or Protestant churches for his violent ideas.” Read more.

ABC News: Norway shooter considered WMD, jihadi alliance – “The man suspected of killing more than 90 people in a bombing and separate shooting spree in Norway had considered a plan to obtain a weapon of mass destruction through a truce with extreme Islamists, despite his online anti-Muslim rants. ‘We both share one common goal. They want control over their own countries in the Middle East and we want control of our own countries in Western Europe,’ reads part of a 1,500-page manifesto reportedly posted online by Anders Behring Breivik, apparently identifying himself with other right wing extremists. ‘An Islamic Caliphate is a useful enemy to all Europeans as it will ensure European unity under Christian cultural conservative leadership.’ The manifesto said it would be possible to obtain ‘one million USD worth of anthrax” and describes the necessary steps to convince Islamic terrorist groups to cooperate.'” Read more.
Norway suspect modeled his writings after Unabomber manifesto – “Anders Behring Breivik, the chief suspect in Friday’s twin terrorist attacks in Norway, copied passages from infamous American Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski’s manifesto and used them in his own writings, according to a Norwegian website that publishes political commentary, analysis and essays. Hans Rustad, editor of the website Document.no, writes that Breivik’s 1,500-page political manifesto, titled ‘A European Declaration of Independence’ and posted on the website (link in Norwegian) along with other writings by Breivik, copied some of Kaczynski’s document almost verbatim.” Read more.
Police: We dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in Utoya – “Police announced Monday that they had dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in a shooting spree at a political youth group’s island retreat and were lowering the confirmed death toll from 86 to 68. The overall toll in the attack now stands at 76 instead of 93 – still one of the worst modern mass murders in peacetime. Police spokesman Oystein Maeland said that higher, erroneous figure emerged as police and rescuers were focusing on helping survivors and securing the area, but he did not immediately explain more about how the overcounting occurred.” Read more.
One Week After Norway Announces Backing Palestinian Bid for UN Recognition, Israel May Have To Call Off Oslo Accords
July 17, Reuters – “Norway, host of the 1993 Palestinian-Israeli peace accords, said on Monday it was ‘perfectly legitimate’ for Palestinians to take their case for statehood to the United Nations for voting in September.
‘We will consider very carefully the proposed text that’s to be put forward by the Palestinians in the coming weeks,’ said Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas beside him at a press conference.
‘Norway believes it is perfectly legitimate for the Palestinian president to turn to the United Nations with such proposals,’ Stoere said, adding that continued negotiations with Israel will be required in any case.
The United States and Israel have opposed Abbas’ plan, backed by the Arab League, to bring the Palestinians’ long quest for statehood to a vote in New York.
Abbas said on Monday the plan was still on.
‘We will seek to go to the UN next September in order to obtain membership for the state of Palestine,’ he said.” Read more.
Israel looking into calling off Oslo Accords in response to Palestinian UN bid – “A team headed by National Security Adviser Ya’akov Amidror is looking into calling off the Oslo Accords in response to the Palestinian Authority’s unilateral plan to gain United Nations recognition for an independent state. The Prime Minister’s Bureau confirmed yesterday only that the NSC was discussing many alternatives ahead of September, and would be presenting them to the political echelon for a decision when it was done.” Read more.
Melanie Phillips – Islamism in Europe
British journalist and author Melanie Phillips, winner of the Orwell Prize for journalism in 1996, gives an excellent breakdown of the problems inherent with Islamism and the catastrophic irrational thinking of leftist enablers and sympathizers that exists within Britain today and how political correctness is leading Britain down a path of cultural destruction …
Melanie Philips – “I’m going to speak to you today specifically about Britain, which is ‘in Europe’ but very much not ‘of Europe’, and I was particularly struck by the Pew Poll which we’ve been hearing about this morning which said, among other things — which found among other things — that Britain was the least ‘Islamophobic’ of all the European nations that were studied and that Britain, nevertheless, was the country where British Muslims hated their host country the most. And I don’t think that this is a coincidence. I think these two things are intimately connected, and I think that what we’re looking at is an interface between the encroachment of militant Islamism in Britain, with what I would consider, should be called, ‘Britain’s cultural lobotomy.'”
Something Rotten in the State of Norway
“… Many of these agencies and individuals later changed their articles to reflect the developing ‘lone nut right-wing anti-immigrant extremist’ theory. Fast forward to a few hours later, and The Atlantic Wire has changed its site to include the following disclaimer:
From BBC News: ‘A terrorism expert tells the BBC that Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, a terror group that claimed responsibility for the explosion in Oslo, was not behind the attack.’ Previously, a New York Times story cited a terrorism expert who mentioned that the group claimed credit for the attack. But the paper also noted: ‘It is not uncommon for terrorist groups to advance claims of responsibility for high-profile attacks, only to have the claims prove to be spurious.’
Some wag might suggest that the accusation of Islamists deliberately lying in this manner is ‘Islamophobic.’
In any case, the latest news from Yahoo is that the ‘lone nut’ bought six tons of fertilizer–an amount that one might think would elicit some suspicion in consideration of the Oklahoma City bombing, as well as that fertilizer bombs are evidently a favored Islamist method of massacre. Moreover, instead of one ‘lone nut,’ it is reported that ‘police investigated witness accounts of a second shooter.’
This current attack does in fact resemble the McVeigh situation, as pointed out by Gates of Vienna:
I’ve read several accounts that describe the Oslo murderer as ‘a Norwegian Timothy McVeigh.’ The crime in downtown Oslo does resemble the Oklahoma City atrocity–a powerful vehicle bomb, possibly a fertilizer bomb, detonated near a government building for the purpose of causing mass casualties. Then, after initial alarm about Islam, we hear that the alleged perpetrator is a crazed right-wing zealot bent on killing as many of his fellow citizens as possible.
Yes, Oslo and Oklahoma City definitely have a lot in common in this regard.
But one thing many people seem to forget–and which they may never have known, thanks to the American government’s actions and the media spin that followed–is that there almost certainly was an Islamic terror connection to the Oklahoma City bombing.” Read more.
Afghanistan Savagery: Taliban Hang 8-Year-Old Son of a Local Police Commander
“KABUL (BNO NEWS) — Suspected members of the Taliban on Friday hung the 8-year-old son of a local police commander in southern Afghanistan after ordering his father to surrender, according to a news report on Saturday.
The Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) news agency reported that the young boy was kidnapped by militants in the Greshk district of Helmand province on Tuesday. They had ordered his father to surrender to the Taliban or else the boy would be executed.
‘The militants had warned his father, who is a local police commander, to surrender with his police vehicle and weapons, otherwise they would kill his son,’ provincial governor spokesman Daud Ahmadi told DPA. The boy was hung on Friday.
While child executions by the Taliban are not common, children often fall victim to Taliban militants when they carry out attacks. But children have also been used by the Taliban as suicide bombers.” Read more.
Why It Wasn’t Unreasonable to Suspect Muslim Terrorism in Norway
By Aaron Goldstein – “In light of the fact that the man responsible for two heinous acts of terrorism which have thus far resulted in the deaths of 87 people is a native born, non-Muslim Norwegian, John Tabin asks if large segments of the media (including bloggers like him and me) were wrong to speculate that this was an act of Islamic radicals.
For his part, Tabin plans to answer that question in depth at a later date. So allow me to give my thoughts. I would like to make the case that it was not at all unreasonable to speculate that Muslims were involved in this attack.
First, it was only a year ago that Norwegian authorities thwarted an al Qaeda plot to attack Norway.
Second, today’s attacks were nearly simultaneous. An al Qaeda calling card.
Third, it was only last week that that Norwegian authorities indicted Mullah Krekar, founder of the Ansar al-Islam, for threats against Norwegian politicians.
Fourth, a Muslim organization called Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami claimed responsibility for the attack. This is the most notable point of all. I mean what kind of people brag about murdering innocent civilians they did not kill?
Finally, consider all the acts of terrorism which have occurred since September 11, 2001 – Bali, Madrid, London, Mumbai, Fort Hood not to mention all those suicide bombings in Israel. All of those attacks were carried out by Muslim entities. Frankly, it would have been irresponsible to discount the possibility of yet another Muslim terrorist attack.” Read more.
Norway: Labour Party Youth Camp in Utøya Attacked by Gunman Dressed as Police Officer, At Least 80 Killed
BBC News Live and others are confirming a report that a man dressed as a police officer was shooting at people in a youth camp on the island of Utøya, west of Oslo. Many are reportedly hit. It is unclear if this is related to the recent bomb blast in Norway.
Update 1: The Prime Minister of Norway Jens Stoltenberg had at one point been scheduled to attend this rally on Utøya tomorrow. The former Prime Minister, however, was due to speak there today.
Update 2: A police operation is ongoing. Several people injured. The police are evacuating everyone off the island, some are attempting to swim away to safety. Anti-terrorist units sent in.
Update 3: One man has reportedly been arrested on Utøya. NRK has reported that an Islamist group calling itself ‘Helpers of the Global Jihad’ have now posted a message stating that this is only the beginning of the reaction to Norwegian papers publishing cartoons of Mohammed …
Update 4: Several people have been killed in Utøya, according to Norwegian TV2. Some reports are saying eyewitnesses saw more than 20 bodies at the camp. BBC is reporting that Police Chief Sveinung Sponheim in Oslo says the shooter had also been spotted in the capital prior to the explosions.
Update 5: Man arrested is Caucasian, no word yet on what ties this individual has to terror groups. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, speaking at a press conference in Oslo, says ‘We will find the guilty and hold them responsible.’
Update 6: Islamist group ‘Helpers of the Global Jihad’ are now denying any involvement in today’s attack. So far there does not appear to be any solid Islamist connection. Suspect may have acted alone. No word yet on motive. More details will come to light in the coming hours and days.
Update 7: The death toll has, sadly, suddenly risen to at least 84+ killed on Utøya. (Update 7/25 – Police announced Monday that they had dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in a shooting spree at a political youth group’s island retreat and were lowering the confirmed death toll from 86 to 68.)
Update 8: Witnesses suggest that a second shooter may have been involved. Police are investigating. Meanwhile, questions surround whether or not the known shooter’s Facebook page was updated while he was in police custody. Also, it appears that he had apparent neo-Nazi links. Did one or more of these possible neo-Nazi links have access to his Facebook page?
Norway: Multiple Fatalities and Injuries After Massive Vehicle Bomb in Oslo
Some news reports are talking about the possibility that this was the work of Islamists.
Update 1: NRK has reported that an Islamist group calling itself ‘Helpers of the Global Jihad’ have now posted a message stating that this is only the beginning of the reaction to Norwegian papers publishing cartoons of Mohammed …
Update 2: Islamist group ‘Helpers of the Global Jihad’ are now denying any involvement in today’s attack. So far there does not appear to be any solid Islamist connection. Suspect may have acted alone. No word yet on motive or how he could have single-handedly produced such a powerful explosion if this was all perpetrated by a single homegrown terrorist.
“A huge explosion wrecked government buildings in central Oslo on Friday including
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg’s office, killing at least one person and injuring several others.
Norwegian broadcaster NRK said one person was confirmed dead in the explosion.
The cause of the blast was unknown but the tangled wreckage of a car was outside one building and the damage appeared consistent to witnesses with that from car bombs. Police and fire officials declined comment on the cause.
The blast blew out most windows on the 17-story building housing Stoltenberg’s office, as well as nearby ministries including the oil ministry, which was on fire.
Heavy debris littered the streets and a tall plume of brown smoke over the city center.
A Reuters correspondent counted at least eight injured people. Norwegian news agency NTB said that Stoltenberg was safe in the blast, which happened around 3:30 p.m. (1330 GMT).” Read more.

Military Analyst: ‘Iranian Regime Has Been Developing Bombs That Have the Capability of Hitting US Cities on the East Coast’
By Fern Sidman – “Elliott Chodoff, an American born political and military analyst and an IDF reserve major, spoke at the ‘Middle East Briefing’ session of the sixth CUFI national summit in Washington this week.
Citing Israeli military intelligence, Chodoff was quite forthright in his analysis of a possible attack by Iran. ‘Israel cannot survive a nuclear attack. You cannot trust a nuclear deterrent. Israel cannot wipe out Iran’s nuclear arsenal but the US can.’ Chodoff added that the Iranian regime has been developing bombs that have the capability of hitting US cities on the East coast.
He delivered an account of the history of radical Islamism, saying, ‘The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928 and its leader imbibed the Nazi ideology that focused on the extermination of the Jews.’ Noting that Iranian cleric Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran who came to power during the Islamic revolution of 1979 was active in disseminating the Muslim Brotherhood ideology to school children, he said that it was Khomeini who was the first to label Americas as ‘the great Satan’ and referred to Christians as the enemies while declaring that America is run by Jews.” Read more.
Iran: Ahmadinejad Threatens to Send the United States and Israel ‘To The Morgue’ – “Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has threatened to destroy the United States and Israel if put on the defensive. ‘Resistance will continue until Iran sends its enemies to the morgue,’ he said on his website, making a reference to the US and Israel who he said are ‘on the verge of collapse and gasping for their last breathes.’” Read more.
North Korea and Iran increase collaboration on nuclear missile, report claims – “According to a study by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), North Korea’s weapons programmes are now benefiting from technology from Iran. Pyongyang also possesses technology that would enable Iran’s uranium enrichment programme to increase its output. However concrete evidence that North Korea has supplied the Iranians with its superior equipment has not been uncovered by IISS. The disclosure marks a disturbing escalation in the race for nuclear weapons technology by the two states which are seen to present the biggest threat to global security.” Read more.
‘The End of Man-Made Law, and the Start of Sharia Law’: Britain’s ‘Islamic Emirates Project’
By Soeren Kern – “A Muslim group in the United Kingdom has launched a campaign to turn twelve British cities – including what it calls ‘Londonistan’ – into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law and operate entirely outside British jurisprudence.
The Islamic Emirates Project, launched by the Muslims Against the Crusades group, names the British cities of Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, as well as Waltham Forest in northeast London and Tower Hamlets in East London as territories to be targeted for blanket Sharia rule.
The project, which uses the motto ‘The end of man-made law, and the start of Sharia law,’ was launched exactly six years after Muslim suicide bombers killed 52 people and injured 800 others in London. A July 7, 2011 announcement posted on the Muslims Against the Crusades website, states:
‘In the last 50 years, the United Kingdom has transformed beyond recognition. What was once a predominantly Christian country has now been overwhelmed by a rising Muslim population, which seeks to preserve its Islamic identity, and protect itself from the satanic values of the tyrannical British government.
‘There are now over 2.8 million Muslims living in the United Kingdom – which is a staggering 5% of the population – but in truth, it is more than just numbers, indeed the entire infrastructure of Britain is changing; Mosques, Islamic Schools, Shari’ah Courts and Muslim owned businesses, have now become an integral part of the British landscape.” Read more.
Islamic Supremacism Trumps Christianity at Ground Zero
By Pamela Geller – “While New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg works in anxious haste to build the cultural obscenity that is the Ground Zero mosque, the iconic St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which was built in 1916 and destroyed in the attack on the World Trade Center towers by Muslim terrorists, remains vanquished, unable to rebuild.
Bloomberg is lobbying for 9/11 taxpayer funds for the Islamic supremacist grifters behind the Ground Zero mosque, but St. Nicholas Church is in purgatory ten years after the worst day in modern American history.
Perhaps St. Nicholas Church should claim that it is a mosque — then Bloomberg and New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn would probably pour the cement for its foundation. Remember: the New York Daily News reported last December that ‘Mayor Bloomberg’s top deputies went to great lengths to help those trying to build a mosque at Ground Zero — even drafting a letter to the community board for them.’
After a Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch, New York City officials released ‘a flurry of emails between its brass and Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam pushing to build a mosque near the sensitive site, and his supporters.’ It was worse than we imagined. The release of these documents, emails, and various exchanges between Mayor Bloomberg’s office and the radical Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his motley crew of Islamic supremacists showed evidence of collusion, inappropriate political support for the Ground Zero mega-mosque, and favoritism given to the project.
Rauf is an open proponent of Islamic law, Sharia, with its oppression of women, stonings, and amputations. He is a prominent member of the Perdana organization, a leading funder of the jihad flotilla launched against Israel last year by the genocidal Islamic terror group, IHH. And he’s a slumlord and grifter: Rauf snagged more than $2 million in public financing to renovate low-income apartments. He took the money, never did the renovations, and forced good people to live with vermin and dilapidation.” Read more.
China: Rioters Shout ‘Allah is the Only God’ While Hacking People to Death
“HOTAN, Xinjiang – Police shot down 14 rioters who attacked a police station in Hotan city of Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region on Monday, a Communist Party official in Hotan said Wednesday.
The official, who declined to be named, said the attack left four people dead, including an armed police officer, a security guard, a woman and a teenage girl. At least three others were injured.
Rioters hacked security guard Memet Eli to death while they were trying to break into the Na’erbage police station shortly after 12 pm Monday, said Ablet Metniyaz, chief of the police station.
‘He is just 25. He planned to get married in September,’ said Abliz, an officer of the police station.
In addition to Eli, an armed police and two civilians died in the incident, according to Metniyaz, 38, who has been serving as chief of the police station for three years.
The rioters had taken six civilian people and some police staff hostage, and set fire and smashed things in the police station, leaving damaged computers, printers, furniture and clothes scattered around, Metniyaz said.
Shouting frantic religious slogans like ‘Allah the only God’, the rioters ran to the top floor and police opened fire to stop them, said an anonymous policeman with the police station.” Read more.
