Norway recieves terror threat

So we just got a message that we have gotten a terror threat and our borders are now being heavily controlled, while airport and public buildings are now being patrolled with weapons. This is the first time i have ever experienced this ever. So hopefully we don't have any lunatic blowing anything up. The info they released was that syrians might be involved. I don't know about the rest of you, but this is the first time something like this has happend at least while i have been here.

Has Norway been involved in anything that would garner attention towards something like this?

Welcome to the US like 24/7.

blame israel

lol....that's what I was thinking.

He blames Israel for everything else.

Nope not really. We never entered Iraq because we were against it. We help with mostly humitarian stuff in Afgahnistan and countries in need mostly. We are also supporters of most countries in need. So i don't know

Please **** off, go troll and be ignorant somewhere else

lol...thanks :)

Not really but most people in the world cant tell Denmark, Norway and Sweden apart.

Also its what you get when you have a liberal minded immigration politics and think that you can just keep open doors.

Sadly, this probably explains it. With millions of Muslims in Europe, there are some who want Sharia law to replace Western law, and a few will threaten to terrorize or commit terrorist acts to get their point across. With the indigenous European populations declining due to low birth rates and higher death rates, and Muslim immigrants with high birth rates coming in, "Eurabia" may become a reality in some parts of Europe during this century, unless they get strict on immigration and assimilation.

I heard India has it worse. Of course, everything I know about India comes from Russell Peters so take that as you will.

Well that's true

And no, we don't take anyone, we take in refuges. FYI, we are more socialists than liberals. Liberals are kind of in the middle between the right and left here

Islam problem, spreading.

Uhm, last time someone went on a shooting spree, it was a right wing christian nut who killed 77 people.

Most likely nothing is going to happen, which Is amplified by the fact that the police has upped the security in pretty much every major city here and events around the country just in case.

People's memories seem to be getting worse.

Call the banners. Britain will ride north to your aid, ser.

This. Have people already forgotten about Anders Breivik?

Interestingly, Israel did have something to do with the 2011 Norway attacks, albeit indirectly... Anders Breivik was a Zionist. And the youth camp teenagers he massacred were pro-Palestine protesters, protesting against Israel.

No folks, I haven't forgotten him.

I realize terror threats can come from a nation's own citizens; I was more asking if Norway had been involved in the world sphere that would generate attention from outside their borders.

But hey, you know, keep trying guys.

Wear it like a badge of honor

Norway generally brainwash their citizens with lots of left wing propaganda. It's a pretty shitty country tbh.

@foxhound_fox: I think he was more asking if they did anything to garner the current threat.

Uhm no. That he was a Zionist doesn't mean Israel had anything to do with it. Not even indirectly. It seems as if you do not understand the meaning of words such as 'Zionist' or 'indirectly'.

They were not pro-Palestine protesters and not protesting against Israel. They were part of the youth division of the Norwegian labor party. Here you show yet again that you don't understand words that you're using, such as 'protesters'.

meh, we'll handle it. Our police is now actually carrying guns and if it get's really serious i am sure they'll call me back to the military and make me go back to service. I think we're good :P

Report: Norway FM Called for Palestinian State At Youth Camp the Day Before Deadly Rampage

But sure, calling them 'protesters' might be pushing it, but the anti-Israel stance was definitely something that would have angered a Zionist like Breivik. That doesn't mean that was the only thing he was angry over, but being a white-supremacist as well (as strange as it might seem for a white-supremacist to support Zionism), he was also obviously angry over their liberal immigration policy.

Norway is known for a relaxed refugee stance.

Also you're right i was using the american term "liberal" which is basically socialists in europe.

Ok, but that doesn't mean that Israel had anything to do with it. Unless you with 'having something to do with it' means part of his motives. Cause that's not something you can blame Israel for.

You can be a Zionist without being angered as Zionist is not the same as pro-Israel necessarily. Obviously Breivik was a little bit more than just a Zionist.

If Norway is like Sweden they like to take in alot of immigrants so everyone can see how tolerant they are but then put their somewhere very far from the city center so no one will have to see them.

Yep, correct

And thats why Norway and Sweden have had terrorist attacks/threats because they forget that , yes its great to be accepting and take in refugees, but when you take in people with such a different culture and religion, its bound to cause problems particular when no one wants to face the problem with how to integrate them into society and talk about it.

So it's not a terrorist threat then? alrighty :)

Something that is a rocky road but managable with time. As with any kind of imigration. Infact the US is an example of a society that made immigration work. Australia is another example.

Skandinavia is rather young when it comes to immigration, for the most part we hardly had any immigrants from South Europe, Africa, Asia up until 1950 and as a result we are inexperienced in dealing with immigration. But as these new countrymen and women live her and their kids and their kids grow up here, it'll provide them a insentive to speak out against the thing within the integration they find wrong and aslong as we listen and are willing to include them into society then we'll find common ground. We have been rather careful about the issue of integration and talking about it, pertially I think is because we don't wish to offend anyone but culturally we're very quiet and possibly a little naive in thinking it'll work out even if we don't adress the issue.

That is a fault we have that I know will be adressed. We kinda just want to get along with everybody.

What the hell are you talking about? You're just assuming, have you actually been to Norway? Because there are no facts behind this. Almost all immigrants live in the city...

That is odd, i can't think of any kind of foreign threat to Norway. My first assumption was another nut job from within the country until i read on.

I've been to Sweden. That's why I said "if Norway is like Sweden".

Norway is not like Sweden.

How do you know?

In terms of their politics on refugees/immigration they are.

I live in Norway, close to the border. Our politics may seem the same, but it is not.

Seems close enough to me.

For the ignorant they might seem very close. I have relatives in Sweden, so I've spent much time there and it's definitely different.

Anyway, the threat has been reduced, which is good.

In what way?

Sweden's immigration laws are much more liberal than Norway's. Sweden has about three times more immigrants than Norway because of this.

@girlshavefuntoo: In Norway you also need a good reason to stay, like war or being prosecuted because of your race or religion for example

The ignorant? im sorry but if you claim anything but the facts that norway has for years had a relaxed policy and it wasn't until just recently that the debate started to go towards a more restrictive immigration politics, you are the only one who is ignorant. Not to mention that Norway has for years played themselves out to be this humanitarian good guy exactly like sweden.

Also if you look at what countries take on most refugees per capita, Norway is 3rd 1.34 pr. 1000 Sweden nr. 2 with 2.75 pr 1000 and Malta. Nr1. 3,83 but thats no wonder since its like a golden place not that far from the shore and by that a way into europe for a lot of african refugees. Compared countries like UK, France, Germany is 0,20 - 0,24 - 0,31 per 1000 capita.

I will give you though that compared to Sweden the amount norway gets is a drop in the sea, Sweden has almost 5x times as many but it doesn't change the facts that up until just recently norway didn't talk about it or really cared that much, its true though that now particular recent events in mind that the debate has sparked a more right-winged conservative attitude towards immigration like in Denmark.

Sweden has about 16% immigrants. Norway has 14%.

@girlshavefuntoo: @themajormayor:

Could you guys not do 10 post quotes? I don't need 11 notifications because you two are having a conversation back and forth quoting each other.

@Jacanuk: No it hasn't, where have you gotten that info? We're not right wing, even though our current goverment is. Our governent would be on the extreme case be considered liberals in america.

I've never claimed Norway hasn't had a relaxed policy, but it's not identical to Sweden's, which is what majormayor's original claim was.

What, you've been to visit Sweden once and now you think you know how the entire country is built up?

Yes, and compared to the left socialist , the current government is on the right side, i am not talking about ultra-right winged here.

And i didn't vote for those douchebags
