Why Does Al-Qaeda Have a Problem With Norway?

[Conley]

Ominous article from a couple of weeks ago:

"Why did al-Qaeda attack us on 9/11? Quite simple, said George Bush in 2001: "They hate our freedoms." Not so, responded Osama Bin Laden: "Let him tell us why we did not strike Sweden." Although Sweden may be off-limits for jihadists, the same cannot be said for Sweden's neighbor, Norway.

Last Thursday, three men were arrested in Norway and Germany for allegedly plotting a terrorist attack involving peroxide explosives. Those arrested were all Muslim immigrants to Norway, originally from China, Iraq, and Uzbekistan. Authorities claim that the suspects had links to al-Qaeda in Pakistan, and that one of them visited Waziristan in 2008. If this is true, an al-Qaeda cell had set up shop in the suburbs of Oslo."

Yep.....I would say he got it right with AQ.....if your not with them then your against them.

[Conley]

interesting that they can't hit high level targets like the US/UK, so they are going for more peripheral targets

it sounds like the attack today may not have been AQ related as the gunman was described as appearing Scandinavian.

Yeah.....thats what I heard too. Still AQ would luv to get some caucasions to join their group and do the damage that way. >:(

[Conley]

true, it could have been a recruit or even just a bottle of bleach. may have been a disguise. as said before, i should stop speculating, but given the recent AQ activity it does tend to make one think...

Europe's has a large and ultimately unassimilable population of Muslims. It's likely that the perpetrators are Muslims but until it's clear I will refrain from further comment.

is there any official source for this yet? i don't disagree with you but it seems there is still a lot of confusion, and probably will be for a while

No source. Just going on instinct. It remains to be seen. That's why I will not comment further. If this was Spain or even the UK I'd thin twice but terrorism in Norway?

[Conley]

Given the recent terror plot that they busted up I think that's proof enough that AQ was operating in Norway, even before today. They're just little bitches that will strike easy targets, not necessarily ones that make sense.

Assuming this is AQ, whether it made sense or not will depend on how Norwegians react. Not their faggot ass government but your average Norwegian.

Attacking the PM is one thing...sniping kids is a whole other level. I think Norway is going to be in shit kicking mode. It's hard to keep from speculating.

I didn't hear about the kids until just now. I turned off the PC and picked up a book right after my last post this afternoon. Another thing that makes me suspect Muslims is the fact that everyone is stressing not to jump to conclusions. In my case, it's because I don't want to look like a dumb ass. The media talking heads are doing it because they think we are all a bunch of racist Neanderthals.
