JMG reader Homer sends us this story I missed earlier in the week: Hege Dalen and her partner Toril Hansen were eating supper in the camping area opposite Utoya [sic.] island when they started hearing gunshots and screaming. Dalen and Hansen drove their boat to the island, and fished out of the water people who were in shock and young …

“As this is a cultural war, our definition of being a Christian does not necessarily constitute that you are required to have a personal relationship with God or Jesus. Being a Christian can mean many things; That you believe in and want to protect Europe’s Christian cultural heritage. The European cultural heritage, our norms (moral codes and social structures included), …

“The murderous acts of Anders Breivik in Norway will be seen as proof that conservative Christians in America might just turn violent too, as if the demented actions of an anti Muslim, anti multiculturalist Norwegian have anything to do with the spiritual, moral, and cultural aspirations of American Christ-followers who espouse the non-violent teachings and example of the Master himself. …

“There is only a single and insignificant reference to me in Breivik’s manifesto. The 55 references to Spencer are mostly quotes from Muslim scriptures. But Breivik cites LGF numerous times, in a very different way. He includes a long diatribe against Charles Johnson, whom he clearly admired until he felt betrayed enough to snap. The killer speaks about Charles Johnson …

World Net Daily, the most lie-filled Christian website in the history of the internet, is telling its readers that the attack on Norway was “Islamic terrorism.”

According to some sources, the below clip was made by the man currently being held as responsible for the terrorist attack in Norway. UPDATE: YouTube has pulled the clip. You can view it here for the moment.

Norwegian authorities are holding a man described as a “Christian fundamentalist” in connection with yesterday’s terrorist attack on a youth camp. At least 91 people were killed. The police said they did not know if the man, identified by the Norwegian media as Anders Behring Breivik, was part of a larger conspiracy. He is being questioned under the country’s terrorism …

Shultz has a field day!

The GOP-dominated Texas House has made it a crime to touch your junk during an airport security patdown. Approved late Thursday night, the measure makes it illegal for anyone conducting searches to touch “the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of another person” including through clothing. It also prohibits searches “that would be offensive to a reasonable person.” The bill’s …

This should please the Obama haters. In a unique twist on the Osama bin Laden saga, Iran’s intelligence minister says Tehran has “genuine intelligence showing that the terrorist leader died of disease long before the alleged raid” by the United States, the Iranian semiofficial FARS news agency reports. “We have accurate information that bin Laden died of illness some time …

This won’t mean anything to American deathers, of course. Al-Qaida on Friday confirmed the killing of Osama bin Laden and warned of retaliation, saying Americans’ ”happiness will turn to sadness.” The confirmation came in an Internet statement posted on militant websites, signed by “the general leadership” of al-Qaida. The announcement opens the way for the group to name a successor …

The Pakistan government said yesterday that if the United States carries out any more “unauthorized” raids within its borders, it will have to review the relationship with Washington. Earlier Thursday, Pakistan’s Pakistan Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir warned America Thursday of “disastrous consequences” if it carries out any more raids and hit back at international allegations it may have been harboring …

According to the New York Daily News, Dubya declined to join President Obama at Ground Zero today because he feels he didn’t get enough credit for taking down Osama Bin Laden. Bush’s visit to the rubble after the 9/11 attacks was the emotional high point of his presidency, but associates say the invitation to return with his successor was a …

The White House just announced that it will not be releasing the reportedly gruesome death photos of Osama Bin Laden. Right-wing news outlets have been clamoring for the photos to be published, both as evidence of Bin Laden’s actual death and for their potential use to intimidate other terrorists. Others have argued that the photos could inflame anti-American sentiment and …

“Whenever America uses violence in a way that makes its citizens cheer, beam with nationalistic pride, and rally around their leader, more violence is typically guaranteed. Futile decade-long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may temporarily dampen the nationalistic enthusiasm for war, but two shots to the head of Osama bin Laden — and the We are Great and Good proclamations …
