For jumping to conclusions, perhaps? It's kinda ironic that the perpetrator shared the anti-Muslim sentiments expressed by the usual suspects, don't you think?

That's right - don't let little things like facts get in the way of your worldview.

Right after the attack, did we know what kind of bomb it was?

You DO know AQ uses car bombs all the time, right?

Think Kenya Embassy bombings.

I admit that when I first heard about the attacks, my gut reaction was that it was probably islamic terrorists. But as I thought about it a bit more, I realized that most terrorist attacks in Europe have nothing to do with Islamic terrorists. Whether it be the IRA, ETA or Bader Meinhoff, most European terrorism has been home grown. So why assume it was Islamic?

Oh really?

Like Spain, England?

This attacked had all the earmarks of muslim extremists.

Don't forget, they are after "soft" targets now, including the suggestion they made of just getting a gun and start shooting.

There was a recent threat by a Muslim cleric who faced deportation.

Why are people so worked up about references to what looks like a "McVeigh style" car bomb? It's a frame of reference.

Yeah because Muslims attack Norway on a daily basis.
I would never expect an apology from you anyways.

Peaceful Muslims who speak out against Radical Islam will get blown up. We won't ever see Muslims rallying in concert to denounce Radical Islam. Won't happen.

Always a first, isn't there?

Didn't the government just go after one of their extremist leaders?
