This has been largely debunked, though it's still a possibility, most experts say this does not look like an attack from religious extremists.

In addition to that, they've arrested a man who is a ethnic Norwegian 32 year old. He's been seen at both locations.
I know but I'm referring to the similarities between the Social Democrats in both Norway and Germany. Both were left of center and while the Social Democrats was more respectable than the communists, Hitler viewed the German social democratic party, the equivalent of the Norwegian Labor Party, and communists as one of the same.

Why are people so ready to accuse before the facts are in? Seems awfully thoughtless if you think back to what your feelings and concerns were on 9/11 before we knew what was happening doesn't it?

Give the folks in Oslo some time to breath, time to bury their dead, time to comfort those greiving, time to heal their wounded, and time to investigate and arrest additional suspects. For heaven's sake! Some of the posts on this thread sicken me to the core.
The wife just had the CBS news on and they are already comparing this to McVeigh and they don't even know what happened yet. It's quite ridiculous.

Like I said earlier the Left will have a field day if it is revealed this is a white, Christian.

A big part of the problem I see is the non-terrorist community doesn't loudly denounce it. They need to do so to start a change in their people IMO.

So true and I think this is what gets most people so upset.

The similarities between Hitlers regime and party and the Norwegian labors party of today are non existent, regardless of what Hitler might've thought.

What appears to be the most popular theory right now is that we are talking about a man from right wing extremist groups. Time will tell if this is the case, but is so, it's one of Hitlers new followers who has committed this attack.

Again, this is a theory, and it's likely a good idea to take them with a grain of salt until the police release more information.

They have verified that he is white, Norwegian by ethnicity, 32 years old and lived in the west part of Oslo. They are searching his home now, and they have said that they are aware of what groups he's connected with, but do not want to comment further on that.

I'ts always howled far and wide that it's always "right wing extremists". Remember the congress woman shot in Arizona. They hailed for days he was some right wing nut then when it was found out he was just some nut they moved on and barely made a squeak. It's quite disgusting.

The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten (the evening post) are now reporting on their website that the arrested man does not have any ties to known terrorist groups or cells, and that the Police knows what group or groups he's affiliated with.

Does anyone know what group(s) this person may be associated with? Anyone on here from any scandy countries that may have feet on the ground or family in Oslo that can chime in?\

This is such a terrible tragedy

Nobody knows anything. It's all conjecture at this time.
