Norway Killings
Norway's population is 4.7 million compared to the US's 300 million. That makes the approx 84 dead in the shooting spree equivalent to 5362 Americans, ie nearly twice as big a terrorist attack as happened to the US.
The Norwegian government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from further attacks of this nature. It should go through the same deliberations as the Americans had to go through. Was it a racist attack? If so, all white people need to be eliminated from the face of the earth, just to be sure to get all of them. Was it a religious attack? If so, all Christians need to be eliminated from the face of the earth, just to be sure to get all of them. Was it a non-humanist attack? Yes it was. It was a fundamental violation of the golden rule. That guy should have been PROTECTING those people, not MURDERING them. As such, we need to respond to this by eliminating all non-humanists from the face of the earth, just to be sure to get all of them.
Regarding changing policy to cater for the views of a white Christian Norwegian - forget it. There's too many people with conflicting demands. You can't give in to the first or last to commit a terrorist act. You should define your policy according to the golden rule and science. ie the government should be rational and humanist.
And as for the complete failure of the Christian religion to turn this guy into a protector of humans rather than a murderer of humans - well that whole wishy-washy religion should be abandoned in favour of something like Mu'tazilah which teaches a strong ethos of using your brain to protect humans - nothing left for "interpretation" (ie spinning to suit your purpose).
The most tragic aspect of the whole thing is that Australia's longstanding proud record set by Martin Bryant has been smashed.
