I don't think speculation is pointless and by definition it's something done before the full facts of any subject or event are known. We do it all the time about all sorts of things (the Eurozone problems for example) and forums like this will be pretty thin if we all stop (although that would of course reduce your workload a bit ). At this stage we're still speculating about the motives behind this guy's apparent actions. IMHO reasonable speculation is fine as long as it isn't presented as fact in spite of all the evidence to the contrary and/or deliberately used to promote hate.

And thats why l thought it was important not to mention any potential groups or persons when l first posted as these things can change very quickly as more facts become known and revealed.

Take all the speculation out of the NOTW thread and there's not much left.

l suppose you are right about that thread but in this thread l thought it was important not to tar any ethnic group with the bombing before the facts were known.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
Probably my failing memory but I can't remember any similar cases of mass shootings where the perp has actually been caught alive.
RIP to all the victims and heartfelt sympathy to the families.

One of the Mumbai terrorists was captured and there was a shooting at a US army base a couple of years ago where the shooter was arrested but it is a rarity.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
Billy Bragg made, IMHO, a good point on his Facebook page
Quote:
|
"We often complain that, whenever an act of terrorism is claimed by 'Islamists', Muslims everywhere get the blame. So before we rush to condemn every Christian because of the terror that Anders Breivik perpetrated yesterday, its worth noting that, like 'Islamists', he appears to have been motivated by his politics, rather than by his faith."

And as for today's Sun front page.......

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
Just plain making things up.
They put Al-Qaeda in quotes, so that makes it alright, 'apparently'......

Might have had some thing to do with that Global jihad message, think a lot of news organisations took it as legit and ran with it.
NRK is reporting that an unknown group called "Helpers of the Global Jihad" have posted a message that this is only the beginning of the reaction to Norwegian periodicals publishing the Muhammed cartoons, according to Andrew Boyle, a journalist in Norway.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
My sympathy and condolences go to the norweigen people in this terrible time and i hope the pain is as shortlived as possible for all those families. As to the person who committed this and any others that may be responsible i don't care right now all thoughts should be with the victims and their families.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
Ugh, The Sun, more like "The Sewer".
The more I read the stupid headlines these scummy newspapers put out, the more I despise them.
As for the topic at hand, a very sad day, very shocking.
I can't understand how someone could do such a thing.
