Ja, Norge. Det kører pressen jo med endnu. Og Veritas Universalis blogger en lille smule om sagen hver dag, indtil medieopmærksomheden stilner af. Raymond Ibrahim er altid værd at læse:
“Christian Terrorism”?
by Raymond Ibrahim – August 3, 2011
In light of the Norway terrorist attack, and as expected, the hail of religious relativism has begun—the idea that, if a “Christian,” such as Breivik, commits terrorism, then it is folly to assert that certain Muslim doctrines inspire violence and terror: all becomes relative. A recent AP report titled “‘Christian terrorist’? Norway case strikes debate,” makes this clear:
As westerners wrestle with such characterizations of the Oslo mass murder suspect, the question arises: Nearly a decade after 9/11 created a widespread suspicion of Muslims based on the actions of a fanatical few, is this what it’s like to walk a mile in the shoes of stereotype? “Absolutely,” said Mark Kelly Tyler, pastor of Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. “It clearly puts us in a position where we can’t simply say that extreme and violent behavior associated with a religious belief is somehow restricted to Muslim extremists.” “It speaks to cultural assumptions, how we are able to understand something when it (comes from) us,” Tyler said. “When one of us does something terrible, we know that’s not how we all think, yet we can’t see that with other people.” Psychologists say stereotypes come from a deeply human impulse to categorize other people, usually into groups of “us” and “them.”

Monoman debat om debatten
Kasper Støvring den 3. august 2011
Hans Hauge og Sørine Gotfredsen har skrevet de vel nok to dristigste artikler om terrorangrebet i Norge. Hauge skrev i JP i lørdags, at der er udbrudt borgerkrig i Norge. Men her løber trangen til provokation af med den gode Hans. Derimod er der mere realisme i Sørines kronik her i avisen. Den er blevet voldsomt debatteret, og jeg har selv bidraget til debatten.
Mere HER i Berlingske Tidende. Støvring omtaler nogle artikler:
Hauges hjørne: Borgerkrig
Hans Hauge – 30. juli 2011
Kan man sige mere nyt om det, der skete i Norge? Ja, én ting.
Der er udbrudt borgerkrig i Norge. Hvad skulle det ellers være? Det er højrefløjen mod venstrefløjen. Det er naivt og plat at forklare denne skelsættende begivenhed i norsk historie som resultatet af en hård tone i indvandrerdebatten i Danmark, eller at forklare den som et resultat af en gal mands værk.

Lad os bruge Anders Breivik rigtigt
Af Sørine Gotfredsen, sognepræst og journalist – 29. juli 2011
Det er dybt bekymrende, at nogen i dette land kan stille spørgsmålet om, hvor Anders Breiviks had mon stammer fra. Vi ved udmærket, hvor det stammer fra, og vi har vidst det længe. Lad os udnytte den norske tragedie til at forstå faren ved det multikulturelle.

Massakren og dobbeltmoralen
Af Ralf Pittelkow – 3. august 2011
Tanken om Utøya er ubærlig. Den rædsel, som de unge mennesker måtte gennemleve. Den hæslige død, som nogle af dem fik.

Fra ord til handling?
Jacob Mchangama den 31. juli 2011
Anders Breiviks ufattelige ugerning har fået flere til at foreslå begrænsninger af ytringsfriheden på Internettet.

Opdatering. Og hvem er Scott Spencer så, om man må have lov til at spørge? Typisk venstrefløjser her. Aner ikke, hvad han snakker om:
Breivik’s Call to Arms
Ian Buruma – August 4, 2011
Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who is convinced that Europe is “in the final stages of Islamization,” is right: Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer, is mad. Wilders tweeted: “That a psychopath has abused the battle against Islamization is disgusting and a slap in the face of the worldwide anti-Islam movement.”

Europe’s Turn to the Right
Ian Buruma – August 10, 2011
Right-wing gunmen are a rarity in postwar Europe. There have, of course, been instances of right-wing violence. In the 1990s, gangs composed mostly of former East German youths, prey to neo-Nazi fantasies, set upon Turks and other clearly identifiable immigrants, beating people up in the streets and torching refugee shelters.
Soccer hooligans, too, from a number of countries—especially Germany, Britain and Russia—like to scream racist or nationalist slogans while brawling in stadiums or smashing city centers. There is even evidence of some organizational links between political fringe groups, such as the English Defence League, and gangs of soccer hooligans.
