But I know my Scandinavian brothers and sisters will rise and stand strong, build up their capital and together give love and support to the victims and their families.
What sadden me even more is the media and Internet frantic over here. The minute after the news broke, Internet was flooded with hatred and calls for everything from invading Iran to kill every single Muslim.
Not until now, about 8pm MT has the news outlets given out the information that the man suspected to be responsible for the horror and death in Norway actually is Norwegian and not a Muslim but actually a bragging right wing Christian. (Not that I believe he's a Christian more than to the title than I think so called Muslim terrorist actually are Muslim).
So I want to ask you reader, especially if you are an American to
please, help spread the TRUTH in all the Muslim hating rhetoric going on right now on the Internet and in the media. The people responsible for the horrible attacks in Norway were NOT Muslims, they were home grown Norwegian terrorists with a right wing affiliation. Don't help the Muslim hatred and fear spread. Learn the facts and speak up!!!
The man responsible for shooting a bunch of kids at a summer camp, and also setting off the bomb in central Oslo is named Anders Behring Breivik.
His facebook page says he's a conservative Christian He has written postings critical of Muslims and has had connections to right-wing, anti-immigrant groups in Norway.
Now I could turn around and do the same exact thing the Muslim hating fear mongering people on line and in the media have done. But that would not be right to do, because there's no way you can say all right wing Christians are the same, is there?
A hateful, gun loving, conservative Christian? Imagine that?! Either Fox News will be offering him a job, or the Republicans will try to recruit him to run for Congress. He'd sure get a lot of votes in certain districts.
See, doing that would just be mean, hateful and wrong.
Norway, stay strong, we love you!
