We are talking about Norway here and not all Scandanavian Countries. From the CIA.
Ethnic groups:
Norwegian 94.4% (includes Sami, about 60,000), other European 3.6%, other 2% (2007 estimate) Religions:
Church of Norway 85.7%, Pentecostal 1%, Roman Catholic 1%, other Christian 2.4%, Muslim 1.8%, other 8.1% (2004)
There is much bad information out there. Ignorance abounds. Norway has some of the strictest immigration laws in the world. They are also one of the most Christian countries in the world.
You need to get new sources of your information or sue whatever school that you attended or better yet...how about visiting Norway. It is a beautiful Country.
Registered church members don't mean they are right wingers
A lot of polls conducted in the region over and over shows most people in these countries tend towards atheism, and the "spiritual but not religious" category. There is nothing like christian hysteria going on in the Scandinavian countries like in America, for example.
As far as I am aware, you get a ticket for cannabis possession.
No, I am not implying that at all. People who commit acts of terrorism couldn't care less about the sentencing guidelines of their target countries. I have lived in a Nordic country for over 15 years, so I know a thing or two about their legal systems, and I can tell you they are extremely lenient. But them again, they are not plagued by crime like we are here, so there is no point in keeping people locked up for 40-50 years.
We have tens of thousands doing 25 to life for posession + a couple prior
convictions, its a sick society, certaintly confused anyway.
But nothing before? If you poke a dog with a stick, chances are it's going to bite back. Not that that justifies these atrocities committed by both sides, but as they say, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Notice that the Americans were not "radicalized" after that violent attack. Nor were the British radicalized, or the Spaniards, and neither will the Norwegians turn into frothing-at-the-mouth terrorists because of Islamic hatred for non-Muslims.
Imagine that. It's only Muslims who become "radicalized" and blow things and people up when they don't get their way. Hmm.

There was a bomb on the WTC in 1993. US embassies blown up in Africa and the Cole ship attacked.
You are justifying the attacks your little disclaimer is meaningless.

You picked up on this too. The Left is just bonkers they are not making any sense. It's ok for Muslims to attack innocent civilians because of attacks committed on Muslim soil but the West is supposed to remember Islam is a peaceful religion and that not all Muslims are terrorists after each attack. A backlash would be akin to the return of the Nazis or some other silly nonsense.

So one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter?
I always tried to support whomever offers the better deal as far as human rights goes, but since that will not seem to matter, I might as well go the barbarian route. At least it will be more fun.
Raze their cities, salt their fields, cut their throats, and carry their women home as war booty! F--k yeah!
>Dreadful attack on Norway
>Thread full of Americans bickering at Americans and various religions
Stay classy, America.
