Radical Islam will have to die its own death and that will take several generations, if that soon.

Most people on here don't mention that he is a Christian, where do you get that from?

Fine fine... here it is.

I made a mistake thinking that a death threat by a Muslim extremist is not something people will find unusual and demand a proof.

The finger pointing from both sides of the political sprectum of the CD community in this thread is sad and embarrasing. There is no "winning". Innocent people died yesterday and no internet arguement will bring them back or heal the hearts of the survivors. There are lessons to be learned in protecting the young which are repeatedly ignored by nations in the name of political correctness.

The only apologies due are to the dead who should have been taught to be situationally aware and how to react in the face of an attack in such a manner as to best ensure their survival. Sadly, in our attempt to prove we are "civilized" we have cleansed basic survival instincts from our daily lives and neatly packaged them as something distasteful because to face reality causes a level of discomfort which so many find unacceptable.

In a country where birth rates of natural born citizens of nordic ethnicicy has fallen to negative replacement numbers they have now lost much the light of hope that shines for their near future with the loss of the potential and promise thouse young lives held.

Sadly, Western nations didn't seem to learn from the Bezlan school shooting and likely they will not learn from the deaths of these children in Norway resulting from yesterday's attacks. It is easier to deny evil exists than to protect a nation's most valuable resources, its children.
Demographics of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norway has one of the highest fertility rates in Europe. Norwegian women had as much as 4.6 children in average in the late 19th century, and it was not unusual with more than ten children. Later, it has decreased dramatically from 2.7 in the late 1960s to 1.6 in the early 1980s, however it has increased to almost 2.0 today.

1.98 children born/woman (2009)[2]


Considering the demographics of Norway, it's safe to believe these are ethnic Norweigian children being born for the most part.

Who does that? If anything, people were full of joy when they thought it was a Muslim. Just read this thread.

As I said, it was not at all hard to think this was the work of AQ/affliliates.....they even claimed responsibility
Which many do right after any attack just to get publicity. Has happened before that is some people suggested to wait until we really KNOW.
Were you aware that some organizations claim responsibility just to get attention?
