Absolutely spot-on @OP. I remember when this new first broke out. Every pundit, commentator and what nots on BBC and other media houses were searching for links with Islam. Some said a group related to Al-Qaeda have claimed responsibility. Others said the Muslims are now protesting Norway's NATO links, others said Gadaffi is suspect. I'm not surprised the 'Murdoch Puppet' already made an headline accusing Al-Qaeda.
Its a shame on the western media. They no longer have class. I remember BBC once called Nelson Mandela a 'terrorist', but today, a statue of Mandela is in Westminster. Such is the way the western media act. If you're with them, you're a dove, an angel. If you're against, you're a monster, terrorist, etc.

Evil Brain:

They assumed that it was Muslims because Muslim fundamentalists are responsible for the majority of the senseless violence that goes on nowadays. There's no excuse for what they did but then a man who keeps getting caught stealing shouldn't be surprised when people check his pockets whenever anything goes missing.

Anyway, its stuupid to be condemning the "western media" for something a useless gossip rag like the Sun published. Did you expect journalistic excellence from them before? You can't really fault the media because not all of them jumped to the same conclusion and those that did corrected the error as soon as they found out about it.

Also, the South African ANC lead a campaign of bombing during the apartheid era. One of their bombs killed 19 people and injured over 200. Nelson Mandela was the groups leader at the time and was therefore, by definition, a terrorist; the BBC was correct. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Sun of god:

Nobody is disputing the fact that moslems are notorius terrorists.

The point the poster is trying to make is that when on the very rare occassion a terrorists attack is carried out by a non-moslem, should moslems still have their name dragged through the mud?

And should the non-moslem terrorist be refered to as something other than a terrorists?

londoner:

I was born and lived through an era in the UK, where the IRA bombed almost every two weeks, they were known and reported as terrorists at the time.

If there is full coverage of Muslim terrorist activity, don't expect ANY sympathy from me.

The actual Muslim terrorists love it, and all the attention they get as well as being labelled by the west as terrorists.

@OP, I think you will find that many media outlets in the west labelled this a terror or terrorist attack. So, maybe your point is not altogether factual.

alj harem:

dumb iddeiot, why generalised.just becos iraq etc are like that does not mean us nigerians are the same stu.pid ideeiot

you too dey vex me now are days

mumu ideeiot

Sun of god:

Aboki - Get Away.

I understand there was a Bomb blast today in Maiduguri.

Where and where have you been today?

As far as i'm concerned your a prime suspect.

alj harem:

you people should be careful on how you generalise. The way I talk on this forum should tell you that we Muslims in Nigeria are cool and are free minded.

Just don't add or catigorise us, with terrorist pakistan, iraq etc

We are different and in the same category with saudi arabia, turkey and us. we are not iraq or terrorist

BIGER BOY:

i dont expect any sympathy coverage for criminals who happen to be muslims, and infact most of these crimes r political steming from middle eastern conflicts (get that point ) and yes most western media called it terrorist while searching for a muslim/alqaeda link (infact the so caled int'l media reported feticious jihadist claim of responsibilities) but now that the guy is norwegian, media coverage is dying down or toning down the terrorist rhetorics to lunatic, lone assailant, madman disturbed individual etc.

my point again call a spade a spade.

But when another criminal who happens to be christian commits a crime its not associated with christianity. (note the suspect in the norwegian case admitted to police of being a 'christian fundamentalist').

frosbel:

The analysis is as simple as ABC.

ISLAM preaches , practices and was founded on violence.

Christianity preaches, practices and was founded on Peace.


People who preach that Christians are also capable of terrorism are totally misinformed and have no clue, because their knowledge of history of the church and especially roman Catholicism is nil.

And even then you cannot begin to compare the very sad case of almost 92 dead, to the millions massacred my Islam in recent times.

What a useless thread. The deep-seated insecurity of muslims is legendary. What a laugh. The Norwegian madman who is supposedly a 'Christian Fundamentalist' (there is NO such thing; how counter-intuitive!): why did he not target muslims? ? ? All the muslim TERRORISTS that we know of, is it not Christians and western interests that they target? Indeed, did the Norwegian madman mention that he was fighting/killing tn the name of Jesus or the Bible? In that regard, is it not the usual thing for these Islamic beasts to JUSTIFY their terrorism with the name of their so-called Allah, Mohammed and Quran? Lets not indulge fools who eat their own excreta. Every now and then in the western world we hear of deranged lone gunmen who suddenly go on killing sprees without any apparent motive. This latest case obviously fits into that pattern.

Trying to exonerate Islam from its defining tenets (violence and extremism) on account of this isolated case of motive-less madness is the most idiotic thing ever.

Terrorism is not necessarily the same thing as islamic fundamentalism. We know that. Terorists might represent a broad range of ideological interests, not necessarily Islamic. But we know for SURE that there has never been and would never be an established terrorist cell/group devoted to fighting the cause of Jesus Christ or 'defending' Christianity against 'infidels' (who send them work?). In that sense, the ONLY ONLY ONLY organized RELIGION-based terrorism known to man is perpetrated EXCLUSIVELY by muslims and islamic elements; and there is no evidence to the contrary.  Only an a.s, s.h.o.l.e would try to de-Islamize RELIGION-BASED terrorism. It is exclusively an Islamic phenomenon.

Pull down this useless thread and rid yourself of this Islamic virus. It is not a religion; it is in fact an affliction. A curse. A plague. A menace to mankind.

Breivik posted a 1,500-page manifesto, written in English, on Friday, describing his violent philosophy and how he planned his onslaught and made explosives.

The killings would draw attention to the manifesto entitled “2083-A European Declaration of Independence,” Breivik wrote.

“Once you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike,” he added.

The manifesto posted by Breivik, a self-styled founder member of a modern Knights Templar organisation, hints at a wider conspiracy of self-appointed crusaders and shows a mind influenced by the fantasy imagery of online gaming.

“The order is to serve as an armed Indigenous Rights Organisation and as a Crusader Movement (anti-Jihad movement),” he writes in the document, chunks of which are cut and pasted from other far-right, anti-Islam documents on the Internet.

Breivik says he is not against immigrants who integrate and reserves a lot of his fury for a liberal European political establishment he views as promoting Europe’s destruction.

He hints at a wider conspiracy in the document, saying that the Knights Templar, a medieval order of crusading warrior monks, had been reconstituted in London in 2002.

Sun of god:

Please explain 'Boko Haram' then.

Are they not your fellow moslem brothers or are they foreigners?
