As a matter of fact, NO! I am not sorry that my first thought of the terrorist attack in Norway this past Friday was the work of radical Islamic terrorists.
As it turns out, the two attacks are apparently the work of one man. A Norwegian by the name of Anders Behring Breivik. And he is not an Islamic radical.
It appears that Mr. Breivik is more along the lines of Norway's Timothy McVeigh and this was their version of the Oklahoma City Murrah federal building bombing in 1995.
But lets review the immediate reports as events were unfolding.
Truck and or car bomb detonated in front of government buildings in the capital city of Oslo.
A definite signature mark of al-Qaeda.
Check.
Then within a very short period of time reports of gunfire on a youth camp on a nearby island.
Sign of a repeat of the terror attacks in Bombay, India in 2008.
And the fact is that is what a lot of media had suspected and or speculated.
Reading this dispatch from Reuters, they seemed to at least throw it out there that an al-Qaeda attack was a possibility.
And believe me, Reuters is not exactly the New York Post, or the eeeeevvviiiiilllll Fox News Channel.
Max Fisher over at The Atlantic, again not right-wing news central, began this piece with very obvious questions as to whether or not this was the work of al-Qaeda.
Keep in mind that this was a breaking story and when there are such events, one way to get to what is possibly going on is to look at similar past events. And that is what a lot of the media did in the unfolding of events.
If you look at this post by The Other McCain, he was getting information from a slew of sources, almost all leftywhore, aka mainstream, media sources. And of course when you look at how the attacks occurred, one could not at that moment remember Bombay 2008.
In fact, a group that has now since been discredited, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or Helpers of the Global Jihad, claimed responsibility of the attacks.
And yeah, think al-Qaeda.
Of course unless you believe that the right-wing in any given land is more of a threat than radical Islamics, then you would easily jump to the eventual conclusion.
That this was a right-wing, Christian fundamentalist, Freemason.
Yeah, we Freemasons are always working with lone-wolf whack jobs in out quest for world takeover. And don't forget we are Christianists only. Nah, pay no attention to the many Jewish Freemasons or those of no organized religion.
Before one believe any of the above, understand that Mr. Brevik probably was not a member of any church. And it is widely reported that Mr. Brevik had not been active in his local Lodge for sometime.
The reality is that Mr. Brevik was very much a lone-wolf whack job that was very much afraid of what he saw as an Islamicization of Western Europe.
And while there is a lot to back that up, doing what he did is no better than what the Islamicfacisists are doing throughout the world.
But back to the original question, until there are a slew of attacks like what happened in Norway, one always has to suspect Islamic radicals.
Unless there becomes a right-wing Christian version of al-Qaeda, with their version of Osama bin-Laden, one always has to suspect Islamic radicals.
I leave you with this from Aaron Goldstein of The American Spectator. He lays out the case as to why it would have been irresponsible not to have suspected Islamic radicals. The last paragraph says it all:
As the adage goes, "Not all Muslims are terrorists but nearly all terrorists are Muslim."
So I write an emphatic HELL NO to being sorry that I suspected Islamic terrorists in the Norway attacks this past Friday.
