I actually didn&#8217;t assume that, because I was thinking of how\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Multinational_Force_-_Iraq#List_of_nations_in_the_coalition\">Norway withdrew its troops from Iraq in 2006<\/a>, and how\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Security_Assistance_Force#Contributing_nations\">the Norwegian ISAF forces<\/a> are kind of limited and low-profile. So I was actually leaning towards a right-wing nationalist ideology behind the bombings, but maybe that&#8217;s just my own knee-jerk reaction &#8230; Which turned out to be correct in this case.\u00a0But the &#8220;Muslim terrorism&#8221; knee-jerk reaction is a symptom for how commonly accepted anti-Muslim sentiments have become these days.<\/p>\n<p>Here is <a href=\"http:\/\/utredningen.nu\/terrorn-och-den-europeiska-nyfascismen\/\">a good article about the ideological background<\/a> of Anders Behring Breivik and his likes (<a href=\"http:\/\/translate.google.com\/translate?js=n&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;layout=2&amp;eotf=1&amp;sl=sv&amp;tl=en&amp;u=http:\/\/utredningen.nu\/terrorn-och-den-europeiska-nyfascismen\/\">google translate to English here<\/a>).
