Norway Deaths

In the Oslo Bombing and the Utoeya shooting, at least 93 people were dead. Caused by a young man named Breivik, it was one of the worst massacres that occurred in Norway in a very very long time.

Breivik based his actions on Eurabia: A theory in which states that Muslims invaded European society to take over the society.

The attacks have posed a few questions at our society. Are the other races and religions really invading and trying to take over the society? The killings have created this illusion and misbelief about other religions and races. Even now, those who were not affected directly are in some way more cautious and anxious around people of other races and religions. To them, who knows when some guy will pop out screaming, "To hell with the ****!" And start shooting everyone? Aside from that, Norway have also been warned and reminded of how the terrorists activities among other senseless violence and slipped past their defense and prevention. Simply because their history was slightly cleaner than most other countries, that Norway overlooked their security. A society based on the trust between the citizens and the government has been breached - This bond is no longer viable. The government knows that time and time again people will rise to execute terrorist attacks no matter what. Surprisingly, this might be the only minor benefit to not only the Norwegians but also sends out a message to countries all over the world.

Are we safe? This is a question that's been asked all over the world, in every country. The killings have shown how weak the World's society is now. Will this trigger even more terrorist attacks? Will this fuel the anger and hatred towards the society?

Apparently, in his manifesto his main adversary were the Muslims. Another irreversible effect would be that the killings have pulled the society apart, creating a impassable crevice: Muslims no longer have the trust of the Europeans, and the Europeans no longer have the trust of the Muslims as well. Who knows, questions might be rising in people's minds, wondering when will be the next terrorist attack and what will the Muslims do in response?

When will the bond be rebuilt?

The killings, although served as a message and exposed the weak security and defense against terrorism, have sparked off more hatred and controversy amongst the various races and religions. The killings have breached the bond of trust between members of the society, of different races and religions and nationalities, and might trigger the violent response from certain extremists and terrorists groups as well, placing citizens from all over the world in peril.
