Lemme repeat this again: Islamist terror acts in Norway a complete history:

assasination attempt in 1986 (foiled, no injuries)
synagoge firebombing in 2006 (building empty, no injuries)

Well, to be precise: William Nygaard was shot and seriously hurt in an assasination attempt in 1993 (not 1986, I’m not actually sure what you are referring to there). He did survive. No one was arrested, but it has been connected to the fact that his publishing house published Rushdie’s “Satanic Verses”.

On the other hand, we’ve had the following right-wing extremist attacks - some proven, some suspected - in addition to the recent atrocities. They are mostly small-scale; so you decide if it is vandalism or terrorism. I haven’t been able to check all of this, so take the list with a grain of salt; it should give you an overview, though.

1977: bombing of a radical left-wing bookstore in Troms
1979: bomb thrown at 1. May (Worker’s Day)-parade, Oslo
1985: firebombing of the Normoske mosque, Oslo (some sources say dynamite was used, haven’t been able to check this). Attempted arson at another Islamic centre in Oslo.
1988, February: bombing of an immigrant-owned store, Brumunddal
1988, March: firebombing of the same immigrant-owned store
1988, May: arson against an asylum refugee home, Steinkjer
1988, November: arson against an immigrant-owned store, Oppegrd
1989: arson against an asylum refugee home, Oslo
1989: foiled bombing of an immigrant store, Trondheim
1989: arson against an asylum refugee home, Kristiansand
1990: as above
1993: arson against an asylum refugee home, Namsos
1993: suspected arson against an asylum refugee home, Vads
1996: arson against an immigrant family home, Stokke
