“Norway’s Terrorism in Context”
- Yeah, so Behring Breivik, the Norwegian terrorist and mass-murderer, did all this stuff — shooting people and what-not, blah blah blah, whatevs — but the real issue is that in doing so he purposely and willfully tried to destroy my reputation.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Nice to see HTML returned from hiatus.
Chill out, HTML, don’t overextend yourself. (Good to see you back ‘though.)
Are Pipes & Gaffney reading from the same page again?
Maybe he just got the crops in.
Gotta love the big anti-union Rand Paul ad smack dab in the middle of a looney blockquote from Breivik’s manifesto. Doesn’t look all that out of place.
I see your Crackpipe, and raise you Gaffney.
No less plausible a theory is that Breivik’s attack was designed as a publicity stunt to promote Crackpot’s latest. Outrageous to suggest it? Outrageous not to.
Ever get the impression conservatives don’t actually want what they wish for?
And I see Crazy Pammy is farting out a new book on stopping Islamization in America. Great timing, Pammy, great timing.
Aw shit. The bright side is that new thread kept me from getting out of the boat for Kristol. The dark side is that I’m reading Pipes.
I got pissed off on teh FIRST graf!
Because teh Oslo-Utoya attacks are exactly like those other events in neighbouring countries. Because it’s totally reasonable to judge teh US based on Mexico or Haiti. Because you can generalize about Isreal based on Syria or Palestine. Because school shootings by a student who went off his SSRI meds or an unsolved assassination is exactly the same as this fucking terrorist attack.
Because Finland has in their entire history three school shootings and a Swedish assassination from 1986 means that Norway is a hotbed of fucking gun violence. You stupid dipshit asshole.
The deadliest attack by a single gunman in recorded history. Ever. Oh, not that’s totes normal for Scandinavia.
That said, there is no reason to think that Behring Breivik has a single follower, that any other mainstream political conservative will emulate him and massacre socialists. This has never happened before and will probably never happen again.
Is he fucking high? That’s EXACTLY what mainstream conservatives have done for decades on end. Often with the full force of government backing them. He could at least have the decency to say “anymore” or “in this day and age.”
Shorter CrackPipes: “It’s all about MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!”
Alternative CrackPipes: “Damned godless furriner genocidal Islamophobe giving all us honest, God Fearing AmurinKKKan genocidal Islamophobes a bad name.”
Yes, we must worry about non-Islamist violence too, but the Islamist variety prevails and, being a vital extremist movement, will continue to do so.
I don’t have the linkee for this, but from what I’ve read, weren’t there, like, a grand total of three islamist terrorist acts in Europe in the last year – compared with a higher number of terrorist attacks by “native” Europeans? And his citing TheReligionOfPeace as a source doesn’t especially impress me given the website’s nature.
Aw fuck. Graf 2 is fucking bullshit too. Firstly, Ayn Rand is an author of extremist ideology and an advocate of terrorism in the name of advancing your political agenda. Deal with it.
Secondly, whatthefuckever. Did Breivik enjoy reading stuff other than the extremist anti-muslim hate speech that you and your bestest buddies spew all the fucking time? He says so, but that’s besides the fucking point. He could have loved Beatrix Potter and the the godawful Family Circus cartoons too – doesn’t change the fact that his demented worldview was shaped by the vile eliminationist Islam-hatred that is FUCKING ALL THE FUCK OVER HIS CUT-AND-PASTE-IFESTO!
You all need to pace yourself. I mean, really; if you blow your wad now, this place will be post-free for, like, months.
Oh, and Pipes can try to play victim all he wants (as can Pammycakes), but history will remember that they were the ones who have stoked abhorrently unfounded fears about Muslims and liberals — no matter in which country they reside. They are the ones who have convinced countless nutcases that those voices in their heads are correct — and it’s totes okay to take action. They are the ones who were quoted and linked to repeatedly by the Norwegian nutcase — and now try to act as if that doesn’t matter.
It’s a fucking shame the rest of us have to live (and, in some cases, die) in this fucked up world they helped to create.
Sorry for the downer post. Just that kind of day, I guess — one in which I’m unwilling to put up with bullshit like this from fuckfaces like Pipes.
Aw shit. Graf 3. I don’t know if I can make it through to the end.
No followers? Take some time to peruse the comments at some of the right-wing festering shitholes that Breivik cites. Take a look at your fellow NRO front-pagers like pederast Derb.
Also too, how can it be both hardly unprecedented and a gruesome freakish exception at the same time?
Is it an exception because right-wingers would never go after liberals and leftists with violence? BWaaWAWHAHahaHAhaHAHA! So fucking ludicrous that I am laughing despite how tragically awful it is.
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!, to find that conservatives are the real victims here.
P.S. Good to see you on the electrons again, HTML.

Phew. Graf 4? I totally agree with. 100%.
Ya think? There are crazy psychopaths out there with access to guns. When you paint people with whom you have political differences as TEH GREATEST THREAT TO CIVILIZATION EVER, you are validating their delusional Holy War fever-dreams. Try and keep that in mind the next time you start rousing the rabble.
Imma stop there. Leave it off on a high note. Pretend that I’m not only halfway down page one of two. There you go, I can vehemently disagree with Pipes on the bulk of this quarter of his column and still see eye to eye on a point. Good show Daniel, I totes agree that demonizing your opponents is bad form – civility trollery be damned.
Yeah, just read the Freerepublic threads on the Norway atrocity.
They go from blaming muslims, to blaming people NOT HATING muslims enough, to trying to say that the kids who were killed weren’t really kids, to admiring Breivik’s intellect but poo-pooing his actions, to loudly cheering for him, and then… to actually, like Glenn Beck, saying that they (the victims) were like the Hitler Youth. Except of course, that the kids there were carrying on traditions from their nazi-fighting families. In other words, some of the right, and I’m not just talking obscure websites but national pundits, isn’t just showing abnormal sympathy to a massmurderer, they actually think the world is better off without the victims.
Also too, I agree with Daniel Pipes that the Oslo and Utoya attacks are acts of terrorism. Breivik is a terrorist and fuck you to the liberal-biased media for euphemising.
Because Finland has in their entire history three school shootings and a Swedish assassination from 1986 means that Norway is a hotbed of fucking gun violence.
In Memphis they call that a really slow Friday night.
I see Crazy Pammy is farting out a new book on stopping Islamization in America.
Here’s the first line of the Amazon description of “renowned activist” Mad Pam’s book:
Okay. I live in a city with lots of actual Muslims. I’ve yet to feel that their “supremacism” is seeping into any aspect of my life other than the occasional purchase of a lottery ticket, and even the neighborhoods in Brooklyn where thousands of Muslims live aren’t being transformed by them into anything resembling an Islamic state, unless you count a halal meat market just up the block from a kosher deli as an existential threat. Unlike the Red Menace of the 50’s, Pammy’s Paranoids should be able to tell if the people under their bed really are Muslims, but I’d bet her nutjob fans in their gated suburban communities and rural asylums rarely encounter any Muslims at all, if ever, so how the hell do they feel them seep into every aspect of their lives?
Ravi Shankar!? Man, I love that dude! Plays a mean fucking sitar.
“Some say” he was the fifth Beatle.
Pammy’s book is getting
taggedfragged on Amazon.Wow those are some incoherent mangos. First he’s “shocked, shocked I tell you” that someone steeped in “mainstream conservative ‘thought'” would resort to such violence and then he’s practically rooting for an us vs. them civil war in the western world?
Newsflash Mr. Pipes (and Ms. Geller, et al): if there is to be such a clash of civilizations — a crusade, as it were — no amount of kissing up to the “Christian” side and no amount of “see! I supported the civil war before you guys did” will save your sorry asses. You’ll have the same fate as all the other heathens/Muslims/socialists/etc. will have.
Unless Mr. Pipes, Ms. Geller, et al., have taken, shall we say, a little bath that we don’t know about …
And what Mark D said.
…Pammy’s book is getting tagged fragged on Amazon…
And, depressingly enough, it’s apparently selling. Argh.
if you blow your wad now, this place will be post-free for, like, months.
Rule 34 just keeps getting stranger and stranger.
“This has never happened before and will probably never happen again. This is a gruesome, freakish exception.”
I wish I could see the future.
I’ve yet to feel that their “supremacism” is seeping in
I am changing my name to “Ibn Thunder”, R. Porrofatto.
So there you go.

Islamic supremacism is seeping into every aspect of American life
What does this even mean? What is “supremacism” actually?
Every aspect of American life – oh, right. I can really tell when I drive past the surfers off Pacific Coast Highway, or the Mexican guys fishing off the Santa Monica Pier or the Japanese tourists swarming the Promenade that Islamic supremacism is here to stay. (it’s those halal pupusas, I’m telling you.)
ShorterVerbatim Scott Johnson, Powerline:Ibn Thunder
Oh no, ibn you? Is no one safe from their perfidy?
Scandinavia may look idyllic from a distance, what with royal families and prime ministers almost without security, but it has endured its fair share of violence, from the assassination of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme to two school massacres in one year in Finland, one killing eight, the other ten.
Canada looks great until you realize there are shootings in the US all the fucking time and we’ve had several presidents shot.
Islamic supremacism is seeping into every aspect of American life
I have to admit I do like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan…
Islamic supremacism is seeping into every aspect of American life
i know! i was just down at our local pizza ranch…and the halal pizza is awesome…as are the new burquas over at the five and dime…
“Islamic supremacism is seeping into every aspect of American life”
On the up side, more Americans are getting a modicum of exercise with all the daily prayers. And, more than a few have learned that Mecca is to the East.
and the halal pizza is awesome
Allahu Akbar!

The ideology that made the guy get up that day, bomb his Capitol and waltz over to a youth camp and murder nearly a hundred people in cold blood is by no means “extremist”??? Really.
Sorry, asshole. Just because he subscribes to your extremist ideology doesn’t make it any less extremist.
I don’t think I can read any farther than that without puking.
OMGWTFHTML!
Yeah, that Scandinavia – such a hotbed of violence.
Eliminationism: it’s not extremist when WE do it.
Anyone to the left of Reagan is an extremist, but people whose public pronouncements make the SS look like a bunch of macrobiotic hippies* aren’t?

The perpetual skree about how any price is worth paying to defeat the mullahs may lead to Horror Fatigue, but never forget that these folks are fucked in the head on a level that’d make Charlie Manson go, “Whoa! I just threw up in my mouth a little. Is this shit for real?”
What, Finland is Scandinavian now? I bet that’s news to the Finns.
This guy purports to be a scholar?
“That said, there is no reason to think that Behring Breivik has a single follower, that any other mainstream political conservative will emulate him and massacre socialists. This has never happened before and will probably never happen again. This is a gruesome, freakish exception.”
He’s never heard of Franco, Somoza, Pinochet, etc., etc., etc. . . . .
Pam Geller is on the the advisory boards of something called “The Lifeboat Foundation” with some pretty respectable people:
http://lifeboat.com/ex/boards
She’s on these two:
Diplomacy Board
This board addresses multilateral diplomacy and international relations in an attempt to reduce the chance/impact of existential risks.
Futurists Board
This board discusses possible futures including benefits we should try to achieve and risks we should try to avoid.
Oh, do not mock.
W/in mere blocks of my bunker, the City Council of Los Angeles has approved (& probably paid for) signs calling a several block area “Little Bangla Desh.”
And provided police protection for a parade of terrorists!!
No, we have already lost, & must retreat, but only to battle as brave resistance fighters from our mountain redoubts.
Once upon a time I would have been amazed by the fact that these assholes just can’t stop trying to make themselves the victims. Ah, to be young and innocent again.
Yeah right. Next you’ll try to tell us Denmark IS Scandanavian.
I’m pretty sure the Netherlands are in Scandinavia. But what about Holland?
And how about the Dutch, with their many islands? Are they Scandinavian?
As an American, it is my duty to be confused by European geography.
Scandanavian ISREAL!
WTF Although he attacked socialists, not Muslims, The action that is completely different to the theory I am advancing , is central to my point.
2 for 1 Falafel Friday in Kiwirabia!!
In the past, one had the cold comfort of knowing that deranged acts such as his were carried out by individuals under the sway of extremist ideologies. Not so Behring Breivik.
Eliminationism: it’s not extremist when WE do it.
I dunno, I think this commenter might actually be admitting that this guy really is one them, that now the wackos are right in their side’s mainstream.
What, Finland is Scandinavian now? I bet that’s news to the Finns.
Generally, we just flash a bemused smile and nod on this.

SEE: “The Paranoid Style of Anti-Islamism”, By Jack Ross, Institute for Policy Studies, 8/02/11
(excerpt)…Nearly fifty years ago Richard Hofstadter published his classic The Paranoid Style in American Politics, which provides a wealth of insights for understanding anti-Islamism today. One of Hofstadter’s brilliant insights was what we might term his “projection principle”:
“It is hard to resist the conclusion that this enemy is on many counts the projection of the self, both the ideal and the unacceptable aspects of the self are attributed to him….”
ARTICLE – http://rightweb.irc-online.org/articles/display/the_paranoid_style_of_anti_islamism
Wonder how Pammycakes is feeling about her governor, Chris Christie, who went off today about how This Sharia law stuff is crap
Strangely, a Republican politician is daring to stand up and say out loud what anyone else with functioning frontal lobes knows, which is that the party has been hijacked by the batshit crazy paranoiacs, who are destroying any ability to govern and/or function at any real level other than “AAAAHHH! TEH MOOSLIMS IS GONNA GET US ALL!@!”
Look for the Shrieking Harpy to invoke the Dolchstoss meme on Christie, for daring to suggest that any Muslim anywhere is useful for any purpose other than mulch.
It is appropriate time to make some plans for the long run and it’s time to be happy. I’ve learn this publish and if I may just I want to counsel you some fascinating issues or suggestions. Perhaps you can write next articles regarding this article. I want to read more things approximately it!
