Huge Crowd Demonstrates in Oslo

A ‘rose march’ to support the victims
World • Views: 49,059

In Olso today, more than a hundred thousand people turned out to honor the victims of Oslo “counter-jihad” terrorist Anders Behring Breivik. Here’s a photo of one of the crowds: Photo from Reuters Pictures.

In other developments, the entire blog for the hate group “Stop the Islamisation of Europe” has been deleted. (h/t: wrenchwench.)

And at a closed arraignment hearing today, Breivik said he had help from two cells of extremists.

So in other words either the European equivalent of Geller's outfit gets it and has a bit of a conscience or they are trying to hide what they were saying.

If they were going to "get it", it would have happened a long time ago.

What else could they do, besides shut it down? They'd spend the rest of their lives on the defensive. They'll form a new organization with a milder name, and proceed.

Well, there's wishing for a major event to get attention, and then there's having a major event actually happen...and when it does? Holy shit! Talk about serious butt-pucker.

It's nice seeing these racists and bigots running for the hills in fear...it's just too bad people gave them so much credibility up until now. Speaking of which, how is Pamela Gellar weathering this storm?

Have you ever seen a western lefty commit anything remotely approaching this horror, at least during the last several decades? People like the black bloc anarchists are the scum of the Earth, but their violence normally doesn't rise above the level of vandalism and occasional assaults on passersby. Like enraged baboons, lefty rioters are much more likely to pelt their enemies with feces than with bullets. The Oslo massacre almost equals the Madrid and 7-7 bombings, even though the latter were the work of trained terrorists who had the support of an international network with thousands of adherents and essentially unlimited funding.

This emphasizes a point I have made several times here: the radical right's much greater potential for violence. They focus on weapons and study the subject systematically, many from childhood. Many of them are proficient with firearms and quite a few with explosives. They know the history of terrorism, and they have a vast literature of rationalization at their disposal. Tim McVeigh and a handful of accomplices murdered 168 people by means that are available to, and understood by, millions of people in this country and Europe. There is no rightwing equivalent of Al Qaeda but there doesn't need to be.

Statement from SIOA and SIOE on Norway murders

Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Anders Gravers, Stephen Gash and everyone in SIOA and SIOE are profoundly grieved by the murders in Norway. There is nothing more painful for a parent than to lose a child, and to do so in such a way is a horror beyond measure that no words can mitigate. We stand in sympathy with the victims’ families and all the people of Norway.

[...]

In this great defense of human rights, we stand with the free people of Norway, and of free people everywhere in the world where the human spirit is struggling against oppression and injustice.

I took two paragraphs out of the middle, which makes the last paragraph stand out in its wackiness.

Fischer, you fucking cocksucker

Fischer: Norway Terrorist's Manifesto Is "Accurate"


In today’s column, the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer says that after reading Norway terrorist Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, he concluded that Breivik’s “analysis of cultural trends in Europe and the danger created by Islamic immigration and inflitration [sic] is accurate,” adding that he strongly disagrees with Breivik’s violent means even though he agrees with Breivik’s diatribe against progressive politics and cultural diversity. Fischer contends that Breivik is not a Christian but instead should be considered a “jihadist,” writing that his close resemblance to Islamic terrorists shows that he is not a Christian (since apparently, for Fischer, terrorists cannot be Christian):

Another thread here referenced the complaints of another anti-modernity, anti-plurist Christianist, Josh McDowell. McDowell said something about how one's "worldview" was the really important thing, because it drove beliefs and actions, etc.

So, would Fischer acknowledge his world view as being very similar to the Norway killer's?

Norwegian police have revised their casualty figures for a mass shooting and bomb attack last Friday, lowering the number of people killed to 76.

Police say a gunman killed 68 people on Utoeya Island, where hundreds of young people had gathered for a summer camp organized by the ruling Labour Party. Officials say the previous figure was inflated due to confusion at the site. They also raised the number of people killed in a car bombing in Oslo's government district to eight

From Horowitz's site, written by Bruce Thornton: Oslo and the Dangers of Moral Equivalence [or, Magical Balance Fairy does Preemptive Pirouette, ed.]

This reliance on moral equivalence not only obscures the causes of Muslim violence. It also leads to misunderstanding the true significance of European extremism. Rather than the expression of Christian or conservative pathology, acts like the Oslo bombing expose the bankruptcy of the EU utopian dream and its notion that nationalist loyalty and Christian identity are at best passé, at worst an expression of xenophobia or racism. EUtopia has marginalized legitimate nationalist and religious identity and exalted in its place some mythic transnational cosmopolitanism and sentimentalized multiculturalism alien to the lives of most ordinary Europeans. As such it creates the conditions in which extremist, if not neo-fascist varieties of nationalism, can flourish, particularly given the growing problems of marginalized and unassimilated Muslim immigrants.

Norway Attacks Stoke Fears Of Growing Extremism

"So that has led to a more mainstream backlash. You see politicians you would think of as being more in the center as well as people far on the right making these kinds of statements.

Recently, in fact, yes, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron all declared that multiculturalism had failed.

But there's a confusion about what multiculturalism means and how different governments applied immigration policies
, if they had any at all. In Germany, immigrants were never expected to remain; that's why they were called "guest workers." German authorities often show a condescending attitude: There are judges who rule in favor of the Muslim husband beating his wife because the judge says it's part of their culture and religion. The result, two or three generations later, is mostly separate, parallel societies — German and immigrant — that never meet."

Neither of my Cat Overlords have been in a couple of years. Between school, the lack of funds, and the fact that they're both strictly indoor cats, I haven't taken them.

I need to, though. I want to get them groomed but they need current shots first.

Mine is indoor too --about 10 years old. He is very healthy, lean, not at all fat. His coat is shiney. But I feel guilty.

BTW, my link to Slate up thread quotes Charles
"On Friday, Charles Johnson, an anti-Jihadist blogger, posted a headline calling Breivik a "Pamela Geller fan." He cited evidence that Breivik was influenced by Geller and Spencer and had given "a great deal of money to the far right 'counter-jihad' movement." Next came an item titled, "Oslo Terrorist Linked to … European Branch of Pamela Geller's Hate Group." Then a sharper accusation: "Breivik is a product of the groups and causes Pamela Geller continues to promote." Johnson concluded that "in the Norway atrocities, the responsibility is far more evident and direct. People like Fjordman and Pamela Geller and the right wing blogosphere who spew apocalyptic rhetoric and refuse to denounce the extremists among them now have the very real blood of children on their hands."

Both of the top news stations (owned by the same company and taking up no less than six slots on the NYC broadcast spectrum) are consistently reporting Boehner's side of the story first, and then reporting the administration's side as if to subtly imply that the GOP are on the correct side of the debate and everything Obama says is in response.

It is insidious and infuriating.

What was all the car fires about in France a few years back. All I remember was immigrants not being able to assimilate.

I watched the Ambassador to the US from France on CSPAN during that time. He said they have no "differences" in France. All people are the same, not like in the US where we divide people into groups, we recognize minorities.

Yet, the violence was happening in France at the time. I took it to mean they don't have Cultural Food Fests like we do in just about every major city in the summer. Which I missed this year in Chicago, :(

Norwegian Killer’s Father: ‘He Should Have Taken His Own Life’


Expressen said the elder Mr. Breivik often fell silent during what it described as a two-hour interview.

“How could he stand there and kill so many innocent people and just seem to think that everything was as it should be?” he asked at one point. “That it could be like that? He should have taken his own life, too. That’s what he should have done.”

The father worked for the Norwegian Foreign Ministry as a diplomat form 1965 to 1996. He was stationed at the Norwegian embassies in London and Tehran, among other places.

“I am dragged into this whether I want to or not,” he said. “I’m his father. I hope that people will understand that I have nothing to do with this.” He also said he was concerned that vengeance seekers might target him, even though he and his wife live far from Norway. He said it would be difficult for him to ever visit Norway again.

"Needless to say, I have been fielding calls from an agenda-driven media hellbent on destroying the freedom-loving voices on the right with the acts of a lone psychopath. NBC Nightly News is calling (that's a first). And Robert Spencer is besieged with media requests. NY Times, "Killings in Norway Spotlight Anti-Muslim Thought in U.S."

Instead of mourning the 91 victims of this horrible tragedy, the media is wielding it like a club to bludgeon the voices of freedom."

Well, true.

It's been very revealing to see the far right reaction to a white, blue-eyed blond terrorist mowing down scores of white kids as part of a master plan that they've pretty much been advocating for the last ten years.

I don't agree. Nonwhite people are not shocked by this, or the rwnj reaction to the type of person they cast as a victim of minorities, once again being the perp.

Against his own kind.

'Sounds like the House GOP has settled on passing their new plan (short term extension of the debt limit, $1T in initial cuts, a new super congress / small group of equal numbers of Rs and Ds that can bring legislation to a vote that can't be amended or filibustered by the regular congress, and guaranteed votes in the House and Senate on their uber-RW-edit of the old Balanced Budget Amendment). The idea is if you pass that on Wed. and have the Senate GOP filibuster Reid's $2.7T in cuts + long term debt ceiling extension, you'll be left with the House GOP bill as the only bill standing and they'll be completely out of time. Media, lobbying and simply-not-wanting-American-default-on-their-watch will then pressure the Dems to accept the only path forward.

Tactically, I suppose, one way out of this box for the Dem side might be to start arguing that as a matter of fairness they'll allow a Senate vote on the GOP bill only if the GOP allows a Senate / House vote on the Reid plan.

My mother hated her mother-in-law. My first wife hated my mother. My wife now understands her idiosyncrasies better and accepts them at face value and doesn't get upset by my mother's demands - nor does she give in to them when they're overbearing - she just keeps a balance and rolls with the small things.

Incidentally...have you met the mother-in-law? Sometimes seeing the parents together can go a long way toward mending fences - or it can end up digging a moat filled with alligators and sharks with lasers on their heads.

Breivik's Demographic Warfare and the American Right's Demographic Winter


In my previous post, I noted how Anders Breivik's "demographic warfare" appears to be informed by the American Christian right's hysteria over "demographic winter," citing the work of Kathryn Joyce.

A closer examination reveals another shared belief: the significance of the 1683 Battle of Vienna.
...
The Howard Center and the WCF see themselves as culture warriors against liberalism broadly and the sexual revolution more specifically, protecting America (and the world, for that matter) from forces that would undermine its numbers and its might. For a specific example here at home, the Howard Center has decried family planning, including federal funding for contraception under Title X (which has been under attack by the Republican Party under the guise of "defunding Planned Parenthood) as "the U.S. war on American fertility."

Obviously the WCF isn't advocating massacring people. But "saving Europe again" by evoking the Battle of Vienna is a theme that became the frame for Breivik's manifesto, triggered by the same paranoia that anti-Christian forces seek domination over the continent.

Ugh, it's been an incredibly shitty weekend.

Second, Amy W dying which really upset me.

Thirdly, we had to put one of the kitties down. He had a blockage in his colon and we couldn't fix it. His bowels basically shut down. I blame myself because he was straining and I should have taken him in sooner. We have 4 pussies left now.

re: #253 marjoriemoon

Sorry for the loss. :(

I had to put down one of my cats six years ago. She had started favoring one side of her mouth when she ate and was drooling like a fountain, so I took her to the vet.

Turned out she had an oral cancer that had metastasized by the time it had become an obvious problem. She'd gone to the vet regularly, but it probably started off so small that the doctors missed it. By the time it was diagnosed it was too late. I chose to spare her the surgery, which would have removed part of her jaw and put her on a feeding tube. I just got medication to make her last weeks better and took her home.

The morning I put her down, I'd found her in the dryer in a pool of blood. It was horrible. I immediately took her to the vet and had her misery ended. It was one of the hardest things I've had to do. I was inconsolable for ages.

The first was the hardest to let go. She lived to 18. The second to 19 or 20. Kidney failure, both, which is common.

We have 1 outside kitty that I can't bring in because she'd fight with my alpha male. I'm mostly afraid she'll get hit by a car, but when we got her, we had 6 in the house already and that was too many so we hope for the best.

Wow, yeah I can identify with the heart-break of losing a furry friend. Two of mine (sisters) died last year (only 10 years old). This year I had one get out of the house. He's been AWOL for two months, which has been very distressing.

Islamophobia manifested in Oslo
ABC Online

Sergey Romanov, a blogger at Little Green Footballs (a site that has broken with the Islamophobic right precisely because of its increasingly violent rhetoric), has posted (scroll down) a word cloud based on Breivik's writings. The most-used terms are 'cultural', 'conservative' and 'multiculturalism'.

Romanov describes how Breivik harbours "resentment against the mainstream media for pushing a culturally Marxist agenda and covering up Muslim wrong-doing and the negative effects of mass immigration and multiculturalism in Europe generally … he felt that the politically correct agenda was completely unchallenged by the mainstream press".

When Bossy was little, he'd walk around swatting at all the big cats. He really had guts and why we called him "Bossy".

All of ours love knocking stuff off of tables. Phones, glasses, jewelry. They just knock whatever it is off, then sit there and act all self-satisfied.

Whatever makes them happy, I guess. On Saturday, the oldest knocked my sunglasses off the table. I put them back.

He knocked them off again. I put them back.

He knocked them off again. I moved them to a kitty-proof shelf.

He showed his displeasure by cleaning his, umm, area. Lucky for us the shades weren't on the dining room table.

re: #271 marjoriemoon

Oh my!! What a horrible story! Poor Lidane! Poor Kitty!

I think I actually collapsed when they told me my first kitty's kidneys were failing. But they gave her B12 shots for 4 years and she did pretty well until she just gave out.

My favorite cat, Macho, had a lot of teeth problems, but not cancer. Boy, you never think of that do you?? So awful.

The cancer caught me completely by surprise. And her decline was fast. Between the diagnosis and her death I think maybe just over a month went by? I don't remember. It was fast.

OTOH, I'd had her for 13 years at that point, and she was already fully grown when I adopted her from a friend of a friend, so she'd lived a long life. And despite all the vets trying to get her to lose weight, she cheerfully ignored all my efforts at making her a less tubby kitty. She was fat and happy and had a good life overall, even if the cancer at the end sucked.

I still miss her, but I have two cats now that keep me busy.

re: #281 Sergey Romanov

HuH has different bloggers of varying views, so maybe some semi-liberal section of EDL (and LGBT section is bound to be more liberal than the rest, IMHO) like what some of the bloggers like to say. I don't take this seriously at all. HuH is a good blog.

Shouldn't presume that about them - they are fully invested in the EDL ideology, or are at least intent on recruiting the more dumb, gullible gays to that end. Imo, they are the mirror image of the types falling for BDS recruitment, also bubbling up in LGBT politics right now.

There are plenty of bigoted rwnj gays, such as Michael Lucas of The Advocate, probably the most mainstream gay publication ever; and GOProud (which has Breitbart and worse as Advisory Council members.)

EDL LGBT Division is right in that pocket but even further to the right.

You should check their FB presence and the other people they favorably link to. Both the anti-Muslim con bigots and BDS moonbat crowd recognize LGBT politics, just like both recognize the perceived advantage of having Black people being their spokespersons. It's all tokenism, and symbolic value.

When I went over to his side of the fence I was shocked. His front yard covered with a think layer of 40 year old paint chip mulch. Luckily most of my garden is protected by a 3-4 foot deep solid plastic root barrier. This has to be the dumbest thing I've seen a neighbor do. Just shocking.

At the same time, a new 12-member committee evenly divided among Democrats and Republicans would be assigned the job of finding another $1.8 trillion in savings. The panel would have special privileges to bring legislation before the House and Senate and its proposal would not be subjected to amendment or Senate filibuster. If the plan passed, the president could seek another $1.6 trillion increase in the debt limit based on the new committee’s proposal.

So, the super-congress' legislation has the added weight of invoking the whole debt-ceiling blackmail situation all over again...

Well, it's partly a smear factor.

The dumb BDS bigots get to say see, EDL supports you. EDL gets to engage in their usual "libtards just hate Israel" crap when that happens.

As for HP, it's questionable Harry even has a clue about "EDL LGBT Divison" - honestly, what straights really give a damn about any of it? It's symbolic.

But the reason I even brought them up was to mention their utter silence in the past couple days about the Norway murders. They haven't said diddleysquat since Friday.

This was also the weekend that ALSO saw 1- the formal end of Don't Ask Don't tell, and 2- the first legal same sex marriages in New York. Without the recent gains within LGBT politics neither the BDS or EDL crowds would be trying so hard to recruit.

Savage: Norway Terrorist Attacks A Left-Wing Conspiracy


Michael Savage and World Net Daily have already begun floating the conspiracy theory that this weekend’s massacre and bombing in Norway was a “cover-up.” The talk show host said on his radio show today that Muslims were responsible for the attacks in Norway, and in an interview with WND doubled down on his claims, saying that he now believes that the attacks were “likely a fabrication of the Labour Party,” whose youth retreat was specifically targeted by the right-wing terrorist. Savage went on to essentially echo the rhetoric of the accused terrorist, Andres Behring Breivik, blaming “Eurosocialism,” progressivism, multiculturalism and immigration for the attacks and hoping that they lead to a backlash against Muslims:

How else would you make them aware that big money has been hi lacking the chamber and senate in the past years??

Beck! PLEASE! GET YOURSELF INSTITUTIONALIZED!!

Not to mention the hypocrisy of Beck's 9/12 groups having youth camps for politics...

The POTUS is the only man in the world who can get in front of every person in America, at any time he wants; to talk about anything he wants.

He could say, "I am going to sing MacArthur Park, and I'd like for the Networks to broadcast it.".

And they would. And by God, we would watch.

Now, will people watch this one? Meh...

he now believes that the attacks were “likely a fabrication of the Labour Party,” whose youth retreat was specifically targeted by the right-wing terrorist.

So the left wing Labour Party gunned down kids attending its own political indoctrinization camp! Of course. How sinister of those progressivist, multicultural socialist hippies. //

Today on The 700 Club, Pat Robertson interviewed David Mamet about his recently discovered conservative beliefs and new book, and both agreed that American Jews who don’t agree with their views on Israel suffer from “self-hatred.” Robertson was baffled why “liberal Jews in America” don’t share his views on Israel and Mamet criticized President Obama as a “one-worlder” who opposes Israel, saying, “my people, the Jews, have a lot to answer for” over their support for Obama. Robertson asked, “do you think the Jews are ever gonna wake up?”

Wow. Been busy at work, thank goodness, but just found this. I am more and more appalled at the behavior of what was once "my party".
What is the difference between Reid and the GOP proposals?

Both cut spending by similar amounts over time. Both raise the debt ceiling over time by roughly the same amount. Both virtually guarantee entitlements cuts later. Neither offers new revenues. It seems that perhaps the only meaningful difference between the two plans is that the Dem one gets it done in one fell swoop, while the GOP proposal does a short term deal followed by another one later — something that financial analysts say could lead to a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and that Republicans themselves once opposed.

Whoa. It is 21 years total. 82 days per killing.

I've been reeling with how well his plan worked, actually.

First, you set off a distraction in downtown Oslo. The attention of the nation and of course, the police, will be riveted on the bombing. All available resources will be in or on the way to Oslo, and focused on the bombing.

Then you do the real dirty work. It will take them a while to regroup. It took the police something like 40 minutes to dispatch after the first gunshots were heard. His plan worked perfectly, to my horror.

re: #437 Gus 802

Today on The 700 Club, Pat Robertson interviewed David Mamet about his recently discovered conservative beliefs and new book, and both agreed that American Jews who don’t agree with their views on Israel suffer from “self-hatred.” Robertson was baffled why “liberal Jews in America” don’t share his views on Israel and Mamet criticized President Obama as a “one-worlder” who opposes Israel, saying, “my people, the Jews, have a lot to answer for” over their support for Obama. Robertson asked, “do you think the Jews are ever gonna wake up?”

Mamet is another one of those former liberals turned "Born Again Right Wing" after 9/11. Not born again in the Christian sense. I see them as born again ideologically. So they're a bit like former smokers if you know what I mean.

Mamet and Robertson can go share a huge bag of dicks with Savage, Beck, and Limbaugh.

My question is, is that 21 years TOTAL or 21 years per offense? If they charge him with each count individually, he would never see the light of day again.

Also, the Norwegian government could easily extend his stay in prison by calling him a threat to the public, or by saying that they're keeping him in prison so that no one else will kill him, given all the anger against him in Norway right now.

Well, there's a thing called "forvaring" (which he will probably be sentenced to), which means that if the court finds that he still poses a threat to society after 21 years, the penalty can be prolonged virtually indefinitely. I can pretty much guarantee that he will get this kind of sentence. He is after all the worst mass murderer in Norwegian history, and he knew perfectly well what he did. He is sane, and his manifesto, and the fact that he spent nine years planning this proves it.

My understanding, and I may be mistaken, given that I never gave a thought to Norwegian sentencing procedures until this past Friday, is that he cannot be sentenced to more than a total of 21 years, however, he can be detained for as long as he is considered a danger to society AFTER that, without formal sentencing.

David Mamet Turns Right

Mamet writes of his conversion to free market economics, his discovery of the errors of multiculturalism, in a new book titled, "The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture." He sounds like a latter-day Candide marooned in postmodern America, where liberals think they have all the answers for creating the "best of all possible worlds." He renders them as absurd as Dr. Pangloss, who saw even the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755 as among "the best of all possible worlds."

Then there was Mamet's Oleanna:

Mamet takes anti-feminist stance too far in Oleanna

Clearly, Oleanna is a pawn in Mamet's dramatic war against feminism. Fortunately, however, his film is too slanted and exaggerated to be taken seriously. When Oleanna gloats and makes her professor admit that he sees her as little more than a weak woman of "questionable sexuality," Mamet's homophobic paranoia is brought to the forefront. By using exaggerated charges, fancy footwork and twisted language, it endeavors to reduce modern-day sexual harassment trials to the level of the 17th-century witch hunt.

Unfortunately, Mamet takes the point too far. His attempt to elicit sympathy for the perpetrators of sexual harassment fails because the professor is an unpleasant individual. Although some of the professor's philosophical points are quite interesting, his lecturing technique (and Mamet's writing style) is repetitive and annoying. It is made clear from the beginning of the film that he is interested in himself only, and in that regard he was no different from Oleanna.

Odd isn't it? From what he said today. The anti-feminism. The anti-multiculturalism. There are many parallels with Breivik.

You might know them as environmentalists, enviro-communists, eco-Marxists, neo-Communists or eco-fanatics. They all claim they want to save the world from global warming but their true agenda is to contribute to create a world government lead by the UN or in other ways increase the transfer of resources (redistribute resources) from the developed Western world to the third world. They hope to accomplish this through the distribution of misinformation (propaganda) which they hope will lead to increased taxation of already excessively taxed Europeans and US citizens.

Scotland Yard called in over Breivik's claims he met 'mentor' in UK

Police attempting to piece together Anders Behring Breivik's links to far-right groups in the UK and Europe have written to Scotland Yard asking for more officers to help with the investigation.

A specialist unit has been set up in The Hague to trawl through a database of known high-risk, rightwing extremists and assist the Norwegian police as they examine evidence from Breivik's 1,500-page "manifesto" published online hours before he launched one of the worst mass killings in peacetime Europe.

Rob Wainwright, director of Europol, told the Guardian he had written to the Metropolitan police's new head of counter-terrorism, Cressida Dick, asking for more officers from Scotland Yard after Breivik boasted of his links to far-right groups in the UK.

"What we've seen is an active extremist scene across European countries, including the UK," said Wainwright. "There are some signs the extreme right have been more active, especially on the internet. They are more sophisticated and using social media to attract younger people."

Not for nothing, but even good lutefisk is bad. Take it from someone who married into a Norweigan family. My late father-in-law loved the stuff - even drove out to Brooklyn specifically to buy it because the store made it 'better than anybody' - and I tried it once to gain points.

Bad move. My wife and mother-in-law implored me not to try it, but I did. I can still taste that horrible taste today - some eight years hence.

I don't think it would have been possible catch him, even if Norway had been North Korea. He was completely under the radar. Never broke any laws. His weapons were legal, and he had a farm, which enabled him to get hold of fertilizer without raising to much suspicion. In March however, intelligence placed his name (along with hundreds of others) on a list of people having transferred money to a certain Polish store selling chemicals. Another slightly suspicions thing he did was to not engage in any actual farming, such as planting, and spreading fertilizer on the fields.

My impression of traditional Icelandic food is based on the Þorramatur--the traditional winter's feast--which sounds awful. Fermenting or lactic-acid curing fish andmeat is just a big culinary HELL NO territory for me: I respect the technology acumen that fermenting represents, and the cultural genius of that kind of food storage...but it smells like a public restroom. Hangikjöt (smoked lamb) sounds like it might be tasty, but since it's part of the Þorramatur I suspect there's some hidden horrible element I can't perceive.

Keller immediately responded to press inquiries about the terror attack in Norway stating, "Just because this sick person claims to be a Christian, it doesn't mean he is. I condemn his actions and the Bible condemns his actions. These are not the actions of a true a follower of Jesus Christ."

When asked about what the difference is between the acts of terror committed by Breivik and those committed by those who claim to be of the Muslim faith Keller said, "The difference is simple. When someone like this man in Norway, or a Timothy McVeigh, commit acts of terror, they are doing so in complete contradiction to the teachings of the Bible. When a Muslim commits acts of terror or 'jihad,' they are doing so in complete obedience to what the Qu'ran and their false religion teaches."

Dried limes, aka black limes, aka Loomi/Lumi [Arabic] or Amani/Ormani [Farsi]. Used in Middle Eastern and Persian food. Never used them for lemonade, though--am curious to try.

If you can't find it, try sumac instead--bright lemony taste without less citric acid kick--which serves as a substitute in regional cooking.re: #556 Lidane

Hatch chiles are awesome. One of the few food that lived up to the hype once I actually ate it.

I cook a lot of Persian food, so I can definitely vouch for the yummy goodness of dried limes in stews and sumac (esp. on kebab, nom, nom, nom).

His primary plan was to earn 3000000 Euro and propagate an expurgated version of the book. In case this plan failed, he had plan B: the marketing operation.

As for sympathy - you know why all those haters and neo-Nazis like to appear on the shows where they're mocked? Because (figuratively speaking) out of every 1000, 999 will hate them, but 1 will join them, and that 1 out of 1000 is a drastic increase for these marginals, given their numbers. He obviously counts on fanatics like himself. And there are such, I've already quoted one Russian "national democrat" who thinks that his only crime is getting caught (after all, killing leftists is not a crime to him).

KellerThe Imam immediately responded to press inquiries about the terror attack in NorwayThe U.S. stating, "Just because this sick person claims to be a ChristianMuslim, it doesn't mean he is. I condemn his actions and the BibleQur'an condemns his actions. These are not the actions of a true a follower of Jesus ChristAllah."

He and others REALLY don't get that their defense is both the same and equally true as Muslim's responses to past terror attacks. The obvious logical dissonance is just staggering to me.

Ah. I guess that's what we call "sursild" [sour herring]. Haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure I will. We also have a slightly notorious dish called "rakørret"/"rakfisk" [fermented trout] which is quite popular during Christmas. Haven't tried that one either, mainly because it has never been a tradition in my family (same goes for lutefisk). But I will. Lots of people love it and "rakfisklag" [rakfisk parties] before Christmas is quite popular. Many people order table at the restaurant a year ahead for pre-Christmas "rakfisklag" because it's so popular.

My family was invited to join Swedish friends one year for a traditional Swedish Christmas Eve. They removed the dining room chairs so we all stood around this table covered with wonderful and amazing fare... that I don't remember. The tradition involved singing some song (sounded like Hee-long-gor), tossing back a shot of annise liqueur followed by a beer quickly chugged. After 4 or 5 rounds (more maybe?) of Hee-long-gor I was too shitfaced to know if I ate or not. Real fun party actually.

Cooking... One of the best chilis I ever had was also one of the simplest. One chuck roast, one can of chipotles in adobo, one beer, ten hours in a crock pot.

That works well for short ribs too. Doesn't need to cook as long though.

It's of a piece with other things. Things like evangelical christians thinking other christians aren't, really. Anyone who isn't one of them is an enemy, the most dangerous enemies of all are those who are /almost/ like them but who tolerate and accept the other.

The articles in the Bievik anthology hit this from a bunch of directions. Yes, Muslims are evil. But more dangerous than followers of Islam are the Europeans who let them in and let them stay; the multiculturists, the liberals, the feminists. for some it's the atheists and the "not good" Jews. (Lots of meat there for folk who want to go digging in the muck.)

It honestly is NOT the same to them -- the differences in target and actors is that important. Literally, it's OK if you're one of us; and nothing you do that harms them is wrong.

Me too. The Old Testament is what turned me away at a very early age. Then later when I realized the tale of Noah and the tower of Babel was actually just a convenient way to explain rainbows and why there are many languages like any other culture's mythos try to explain things that can't be explained yet, I was beyond "saving", as they might put it.

Aquavit! That's it! I could not remember the name of that. Quite good, especially followed by the beer. We had a blast that night, which was funny since we kinda really didn't want to go thinking it was going to be a dull evening.

The traditional is in a metal can. When the ends start to bulge out it is ripe, and it can't be stored longer.

The smell is to die by (not for), but strangely the taste is nice, with vodka.
