I can't believe this still is needed but religious and gun control side discussions will be met with harsh penalties from page 52 and onwards. | ||

That does not mean we are at war with any of those nations. Still, it would be very unexpected if this terror does not involve islamists. And please note the separation between Islam and islamist extremism. Many muslims are guaranteed to be among the casualties in Oslo today. Umm you are missing the point Nobody cares about legal definitions ... the fact is bombs are coming out of norweigan planes and landing in another country killing and destroying things ... you are bombing their cvontry and so no matter what you calls it ... you are at war with that country ... because if you were really at war with that country the people who are feeling the effects of your 'non war' would still be picking up the body parts odf their loved ones. | ||

Hating muslim extremists is not the same as hating muslims. people need to differentiate between racism and bigotry. Most people aren't racists. There are a lot of different ethnic groups within the muslim population of the planet.The question of race very rarely enters into it. I am absolutely not racist - I've even had an Eritrean girlfriend. But I am absolutely a biggot when it comes to islam, whether or not muslim extremists had anything to do with this explosion. | ||

Hence the spoiler tag. Please. edit: Also included a *graphic* warning, and that wasn't even from my edit. It was always there. | ||

Can't wait to see who they are going to blame for this. Usually I've seen Norway make calm decisions, but it is tempting for governments to buy into Islamphobia for more votes. | ||

Well, what ever you think it is i feel that its better to wait for someone to take blame for it. We have no right to just blindly blame Islamist (not muslims) when we dont know. Lets start helping each other and not start the witch-hunt, we are more important and better than that <3 | ||

Here is the definition from the United Nations: the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. | ||

I have written several times in this thread that i am 0% surprised that this has happened, now that we have been fully involved in the wars since 2007. We are not a neutral country, and our government building is an obvious terrorist target. | ||
