Norway: Right-wing, not Muslim, terrorism!

The Nation Blog
by Robert Dreyfuss

07/25/11

By now, the American far right is cringing over revelations that the Norwegian bomber and camp-shooter was a white, ethnic Norwegian with far-right sympathies and fantasies of a global anti-Muslim, ethnic cleansing 'Knights Templar' movement, and a fundamentalist-style Christian to boot. ... [A]long with mainstream commentators and the panoply of self-styled 'terrorism experts' trotted out on CNN, Fox and elsewhere in the wake of the Oslo attack, it was convenient to blame Al Qaeda and Co. But no...

Norway and 9/11: Fighting the last war

Ideas
by David Friedman

07/24/11

A common criticism of militaries is that they are always preparing to fight the last war instead of the next. The recent attack in Norway suggests that the same problem exists for the 'war' on terrorism. The point is made clearer if we compare that attack to its closest equivalent: 9/11...

The return of the neocons? prodigal son

07/27/11

The neoconservative agenda is about one thing and one thing only: the desirability and necessity of a war to the death against the Muslim Enemy. Their relationship with Breivik is identical to the links between the 'theoreticians' of yesterday s New Left - Herbert Marcuse, Franz Fanon, etc. - and the activist rank-and-file, the college professors and the kids.

Fundamentalism Kills

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: 'The gravest threat we face from terrorism, as the killings in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik underscore, comes not from the Islamic world but the radical Christian right and the secular fundamentalists who propagate the bigoted, hateful caricatures of observant Muslims and those defined as our internal enemies. The caricature and fear are spread as diligently by the Christian right as they are by atheists such as Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens. Our religious and secular fundamentalists all peddle the same racist filth and intolerance that infected Breivik.'

Norway Attacks Expose US Media s Double Standard on 'Terrorism'

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'Numerous news outlets and commentators initially blamed the attacks in Norway on Islamic militants. Rupert Murdoch s British newspaper, The Sun, ran a front-page headline that read, 'Al-Qaeda Massacre: Norway's 9/11.' In the United States, Murdoch's Wall Street Journal also initially blamed 'jihadists,' reporting that 'Norway is targeted for being true to Western norms.' Meanwhile, on the Washington Post's website, Jennifer Rubin wrote, 'This is a sobering reminder for those who think it s too expensive to wage a war against jihadists.' To discuss the media coverage of the attacks, we are joined by Glenn Greenwald, constitutional law attorney and political and legal blogger who has written about the media coverage of the attacks in Norway for Salon.com.'
