1. It was NORMAL to blame muslims first
Charles ,   Petachy Tiklva   (07.24.11)
Not all muslims are terrorists , but MOST of the terror attacks worldwide are perpetrated by muslims who often shout 'alla u achbar' while executing their murderous job .
2. Who Cares
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.24.11)
The Arab/Islamic world is responsible for 99.9 % of terrorism across the globe so they have every right to feel the guilt and the shame they so rightly deserve.
3. You forget the IRA
Moshe ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
You forget all of the Irish (Christian) terrorists; you forget the Irgun, you forget the LRA, the ETA, etc.
4. Poor babies! So people assumed the mailman was bitten and
jesse ,   NYC   (07.24.11)
was not the biter. How unfair.
5. media
eddy ,   lahore   (07.24.11)
They are insane, attacking or killing any human is strictly forbiden and punishable in islam. I think the "media" is to be blame for this. They have created wrong image of Islam and its followers.
6. Seriously?
Danny   (07.24.11)
A few nutters commenting on some arab news boards is a sign of the thinking of the "Arab World"?
7. outraged that an infidel beat them to the punch?
(07.24.11)
8. Maybe
David ,   New England   (07.24.11)
Maybe if they weren't setting off bombs and killing people all over the world people wouldn't jump to conclusions like that.
9. Muslims threatened similar attacks th day before
Sean Green ,   Pasadena, USA   (07.24.11)
A muslim group also praised it within hours. Who the hell else would you think it was? Who the hell always does this? You'd have to be a moron to think the chance weren't heavily leaning towards islaam
10. fascism
John ,   USA   (07.24.11)
extremism isnt a phenomena of the right...It's always been of the left. Fascism and violence have always supported the liberal left.
11. LIES AND THE LIARS WHO TELL THEM
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.24.11)
We know that since 9/11 there have been 16,039 Islamic terrorist attacks, worldwide. Typically when we here hear of a tremendous attack like this Muslims are in fact involved. Yet always the Muslims blame Israel and Mossad, only to be proven wrong later. But what's the point of that you ask? Because at the time when the story is getting massive worldwide Media coverage, they get to falsely smear and vilify Israel. The point is to malign Israel, and over decades, many people will just remember Israel's name being mentioned. So the point is get people thinking, hey where there is smoke, there must be a fire. It's a long range PR campaign to vilify Israel, remember Muslims don't care if it takes 1 year, or 100 years to destroy Israel. So now they whine about 1 false accusation when the last 100 others were correct. Plus they commit the very SAME act they complain of, being falsely accused. But they don't mind if it's Israel they falsely blame, do they? So they blamed Israel and the Mossad for the Hariri Sr. killing. But here we are years later, and the UN report on the long investigation put the BLAME on HEZBOLLAH. But that doesn't get the same massive coverage the killing actually got, does it? Now you know!!!!!!!!
12. 3 People have a selective memory
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.24.11)
13. Another Glenn Beck student.
Nigel ,   Montreal Canada   (07.24.11)
In the political spectrum, it has long been establish that Fascism, Nazism, Nationalism, Patriotism are in the right and Socialism, Marxism, Communism are in the left. Islamism on the other hand is a little more complicated. It can be to the right (Al Qaeda) as it can be to the left (Hamas). Hope you didn't forget to bring teacher Beck his apple and medication cause you know how crazy he can get.
14. Just one year ago
Nigel ,   Montreal Canada   (07.24.11)
nutbags like you would've said "Not all Muslims are terrorists but ALL terrorists are Muslims" You are either being debrainwashed or you realize you are wrong. In Europe the right-wing extremist groups could be a greater threat than Islamists if they decided to carry terror attacks such as the ones in Oslo. Even if they're mainly motivated by the anti-Muslims and anti-immigrants message, these groups have a deep hate for Jews and Israelites. A hate that could resurface as quickly as it did with Muslims. It's a shame authorities are not taking those groups seriously and are already minimizing this consequences of this attack by removing the terror label and addressing the attacker as a madman and not a terrorist motivated by hate and destruction.
15. Let's get this straight
pasquinel ,   london.canada   (07.24.11)
We are not saying that muslims are terrorists, just that most terrorists are muslim....fact.
16. Terrorism is not confined to Muslim extremists...
(07.24.11)
Remember the mass murderer Barcuh Goldstein?
17. Norway whodoneit
orbus ,   Al Kuds   (07.24.11)
Why does Ynet repeat trash off crazy muslim websites? what you gain in sensationalism is lost in credibility and respect. You would do more for your brand to apply a little gravitas with veritas
18. The Mossad doesn't need to blacken Islam's reputation...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.24.11)
any more than it is, and that's as black as the ace of spades.
19. Arab world upset
M.Getald Fried ,   Skokie. USA   (07.24.11)
First why does any media outlet publish outrageous comments about Israel without any basis or foundation? These media outlets should be bared from Israel.What's more amazing is that most terrorists attacks are carried out by Muslims. No other group has as much blood on theta hands as Muslims.The fact that there upset who cares. They can make vicious comments about Jews an Jewish religion. No one is allowed to ,make comments about Muslim religion.Muslims an there religion have Slaughtered more people then any other religion.The fact that they believe virgins are waiting for them shows just how stupid they are.There is no Muslim group that ever condemns terrorists attacks carried out by Muslims. If a terrorists commits a terrorists attack his entire family should be deported from country where that attack occured. World should tremble because Arab world is upset ,who cares. If wasn't them this time it will be next time.The Arab world should speak out about the slaughter in Syria, or madman in Iran,or Hamas in Gaza, or hezebollah In Lebanon. There silence tells us all we need to know about Arabs.World doesn't care if they slaughter Jews today just like they did in WWII. They were silent then an our silent now. We should give Muslims same kind of treatment an respect they give other religions.They should get what they give.
20. 16 , one difference
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.24.11)
Those children were NOT Norway's enemies
21. arab anger!
Sam M ,   UK   (07.24.11)
Now why would anyone even begin to suspect the involvement of fanatical muslims when a terrorist attack occurs anywhere in the world? I really can't get my head around this one. As we all know islam is characterised by tolerance and goodwill for all humanity especially towards believers in other faiths, agnostics, atheists and even other muslims who deviate from the mainstream. In fact the attititude of the islamic world can be summed in a single sentence sentence. Live and let live! If you don’t believe me just ask the Bahá’ís in Iran! This is undeniable evidence of a deep seated prejudice against the worlds most tolerant religion! Grow up!!!
22. to nr. 3
cosmopolitan ,   world-municipality   (07.24.11)
this is very well noticed by you. let us try to be honest and fair. let us learn from history and from the mistakes we made already and try to realise world-peace on our planet for the entire mankind.
23. An Islamic group claimed responsibility shortly after!
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.24.11)
So what do they expect, huh???? Who are responsible for almost all terror attacks? What this confirms is the natural notion that terror attacks are almost exclusive to Islamists. Whenever or if ever these cease, then will the perception change. Meanwhile, the perception will remain that terror = Islamists.
24. No. 16
NYC Girl   (07.24.11)
The fact that you know the name of Baruch Goldstein is only because he was such an anomaly. However, would you care to enumerate the perpetrators of all the other terrorist attacks that have taken place in Israel? The only reason it's impossible is because there were so goddamned many of them..
25. to nr. 1
cosmopolitan ,   all and everywhere   (07.24.11)
no, it was not normal to blame muslims first or any other individual/group, without legal and convincing evidence. it was good to blame the real perpetaitor(s)/the real guilty one(s) immediately of this dirty, disgusting crime. lead us all spread the/this word/message!
26. #14;Nigel, JUST THE FACTS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.24.11)
Actually when it comes to terror attacks in Europe, it tends to left wing groups, separatist groups and Muslims. Right wing groups tend to be the smallest number.of attacks.. But worldwide is the more important number, and since 9/11, there have 16,039 Islamic terrorist attacks. Guess who has killed the largest number of people in that same time period? So what was your point again? Why people like you make excuses is a puzzlement. You and Muslims can save your Hollow Indignation as well. It means nothing when applied selectively. You go where you get the biggest bang for your buck (save the most lives) that's why you focus on Muslim terror. That's why most people thought this was a Muslim attack, and as I said before, most of the time they be right.
27. So Arabs are upset at being the main accused without evidenc
William ,   Israel   (07.25.11)
so the first thing they do is blame the Jews for doing it...without evidence. How does it feel you racists? By the way, it isn't outside the nature of Muslims to commit such an atrocity. It is outside the realm for Jews to do this. If you commit a terrorist crime 9 times, don't get upset if you're a suspect in the 10th one. Finally - didn't some Islamist group call and take responsibility for it right away?
28. One post cited in the article caught my eye...
William ,   Israel   (07.25.11)
"It is the Zionist state, in collaboration with the extremist Zionist Christians, that wants to hurt Islam in its allie, Norway," See? They consider Norway an ally as they use Norway to do their bidding against Israel and the rest of Europe. Why would they want to attack Norway before their usefulness ran out?
29. #3 - the Irgun is still operating?
William ,   Israel   (07.25.11)
Otherwise, your post is bordering the retarded. While the Irgun ended operations and was absorbed into the IDF at the birth of the State of Israel... Islamic terrorist grew, splintered, grew more, splintered, grew some more...and now threatens every man, woman, and child who disagrees with them..even other Muslims.
30. #5 - yeah, save this claim for CNN
William ,   Israel   (07.25.11)
No one except them seem to believe this "forbidden by Islam" crap anymore. For it being punishable, Muslims seem to celebrate a lot when another Muslim kills another human being. I haven't seen anyone punish Bin Laden for perpetrating 9/11 or the US embassies in Africa, or Iran for killing so many of its own, or for Hamas and "Palestinians" for deliberately targeting civilians and naming streets after the terrorists. There is no end to terrorists who holdup the Koran to cameras, with verses in clear view, justifying their crimes against humanity. So, either you're wrong and Islam does indeed accept, even promote, the killing of other humans, or you're the only person left who follows the "peaceful" line in Islam to which I say "Good for you".
