At least 80 people dead on island in Norway when crazy gunman executed young left wing people from a political party - he started the day off by setting of a bomb by the OED building in Oslo downtown trying to kill the prime minister ( also of the left wing party ) but failed - the bomb did claim 7 lives and injured 90 people besides blowing out windows in a large area.

Now I normally write on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's facebook page - primarily used by people whom seem inclined to support Israel and the level of bigotry and jumping to conclusions really surprised me.
We know this is the work of a mad man, a right wing nuthead that has to be a complete mad man to walk around executing people the way he did - but still people jumped with the attitude *strike back at muslim terror etc*

Now...I would never support terror, however I think we in the west are as bad escalating the situation by jumping to conclusions and often much worse our show of bigotry towards a religion instead of targeting the extremists and I wonder how will we ever overcome this hatred. The supposed victims....correct that...the victims of WW2 and holocaust had issues and imho had a grievance worth mentioning - how come many of the younger generation i.e those that did not live through holocaust still maintain that they are victims? Get over it....move on - and do your ■■■■■■■ duty to make the world a better place for ALL of us...and not just the ones enjoying your religion?

Am I asking too much?

Am I naiive?

Or do I actually have a good point here?
