This is the latest and most violent of the jihadi pushbacks against the increasingly assertive and aggressive “Pride” displays that are everywhere. Earlier we saw “Pride” events in Istanbul and Ramallah canceled after Muslims made it clear they were not welcome. Meanwhile, Leftists proudly consider both gays and Muslims to be part of their coalition of “diversity,” which excludes intellectual diversity, and gays in the U.S. declare themselves to be “Queers against Islamophobia,” as I’ve encountered myself several times when speaking on university campuses. Is this jihad activity going to lead to a breakdown of that alliance? It’s likely that the alliance will only be seriously shaken if there are more attacks of this kind. We can all hope that such attacks will never materialize, but odds are that they eventually will.
The cancellation of the Pride parade also suggests how societies will move on from post-Christian relativism and materialism, and where they will go next.
“He passed the perpetrator: ‘He shouted “Allahu akbar,”‘” translated from “Passerte gjerningsmannen: – Ropte «allahu akbar»,” by Madeleine Hatlo, Stig Justad and Ulf André Andersen, Dagbladet, June 25, 2022 (thanks to SW):
Two people have been killed and 21 injured in the shooting in central Oslo on Saturday night.
Tormod Bakke Johnsen was on his way home from the nightclub London pub when he, on his way to a taxi, passed the perpetrator.
“As I passed him, just a few meters away, he pulled up his firearm, shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ and started shooting people down. He shot wildly,” says Johnsen to Dagbladet.
“The situation felt completely unreal,” he said, but he quickly realized that he had to get away….
“Oslo shooting near gay bar investigated as terrorism, as Pride parade is canceled,” by Jessie Yeung, Mayumi Maruyama, James Frater and Niamh Kennedy, CNN, June 25, 2022:
(CNN)Oslo’s annual Pride parade was canceled on Saturday following a deadly shooting at a gay bar that Norwegian police are investigating as a possible terrorist attack.
Two people were killed and eight others taken to hospital after the shooting near the London Pub, which describes itself on its website as “the largest gay and lesbian venue in Oslo.”…
The suspect, charged with terrorism, is a Norwegian citizen originally from Iran, and was “known to the police,” but has only received “minor convictions” up until now, prosecutor Christian Hatlo told reporters in Oslo Saturday….
Hatlo said police had charged the suspect with “murder, attempted murder and terrorist acts.”
He said the terrorism charge was justified on the basis of the number of injured and dead people, the number of crime scenes and an “overall assessment” indicating that the accused intended to “create serious fear in the population.”…
The suspect was armed with two weapons during the shooting, police said. They did not confirm what weapons he used due to the pending investigation….
Oslo’s annual Pride parade, scheduled to take place on Saturday, was canceled in the wake of the shootings after “clear advice and recommendation from the police.”…
“We will follow the police’s recommendations and take care of each other. Warm thoughts and love go to relatives, the injured and others affected,” said leader of Oslo Pride, Inger Kristin Haugsevje, and leader of the Association for Gender and Sexuality Diversity, Inge Alexander Gjestvang, in a joint statement.
“We will soon be proud and visible again, but today we will hold and share the pride celebrations from home.”…

When I heard about the planned “pride” parade, I thought, here we go, the perfect inducement for a mudslime to start screaming Aloha snackbar and start killing people.
Don’t ya hate it when your right!
mortimer says
They have to be very convinced Muslims to go through with a suicidal attack. Most Muslims are not that certain of their faith.
gravenimage says
Any faith that preaches mass murder is disgusting.
James Lincoln says
Yes, mortimer.
They prefer living to kinetic jihad.
That is, until some of them decide to become more devout…
Walter Sieruk says
That bloody incident of Muslim violence is a reminder a a “:joke” that’s not actually meant to be funny but to make a point
Here it is . “The difference in reaction between a fundamentalist Baptist Christian and a Fundamentalist Muslim is that when a such a Christian meets a homosexural man that Baptist will say many rude and ignorant things to that ‘gay’ man and end up giving him a headache. but if a Quran based Muslim meets a ‘gay’ man , he cuts his head off.”
mortimer says
Agree with Robert Spencer on the odds that similar attacks will eventually materialize.
Jihad is a duty that is incumbent upon all Muslims. And what is ‘hisbah’ (the party of God that enforces Sharia) but a band of jihadists who enforce Sharia in the local community?
Sura 3.104 translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.
A hadith states: “Whosoever among you sees an act of wrong SHOULD CHANGE IT WITH HIS HANDS. If he is not able to do so, then he should change it with his tongue. If he is not able to do so, then with his heart, and this is the weakest of faith.” (Sahih Muslim, 49)
……………………………………………………………………
The attendees were lucky to merely have ‘wounded’, because the intention of the jihadist was to kill.
Here’s what Sharia law actually says about punishing homosexuals: flogging, stoning, thrown from high place, wall pushed over to crush, burned to death
Homosexuality is not only a sin, but a crime under Islamic law. The punishment is sadistic torture causing death.
Don’t homosexuals in Norway KNOW THAT ??

Mortimer, this Jihadist murdered two of his victims. I’m not sure what condition the wounded are in.

I saw the headline on the shooting yesterday, but didn’t read it. wondered briefly, but knew it would most likely be covered here.
mozlums can’t get along with anyone; it’s been a pipe dream these many years some have been saying they just wanted to be “welcomed” and that they are “peaceful,” etc.
mozlums don’t ‘go along to get along,’ on anything, and when they feel emboldened by their numbers and the news from other places where their members have succeeded in murder and been only slapped, more are emboldened to demonstrate that they aren’t even going to make an attempt to get along.
Ray Jarman says
I bet that the poor fellow who killed the two people and injured many more will eventually be provided a four-star room at very nice rest home for the mentally distressed whereas if any non-member of the vicious cult had pulled the trigger, no trail necessary since that person would be thrown into prison for life after a show trial.

Norway: Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ murders two, wounds 21 near gay bar, Oslo Pride parade canceled
…………………………….
Just horrifying–murderous thug Jihadist. The only good thing is that Norway pretty much immediately admitted this was terrorism.
I hadn’t heard that the Pride parade had been canceled. I understand it, given the danger, but I am sorry to hear it. Even if you are not a fan of pride parades, kowtowing to Islamic violence just emboldens Jihad.
And note that this Muslim immigrant was, like so many, “known to police”–but he was still free to murder innocent people. How many cases have we seen like this?

I’m not a big fan of gay pride parades – but I believe that gays certainly have a right to have them.

I don’t think they have a right to public gross indecently

As Robert has pointed out here on numerous occasions that the media usually portray the perpetrator as someone suffering from mental illness. This case is no exception, as I just heard on the news that the gunman had a long history off mental illness.
Ade Fegan says
How long before the left blames it on Trump !?
D Cripps says
Will we hear the hypnotic mantra, “Nothing to do with Islam”? Will zipped mouths never mention what it has to do with Islam, like people trying to sneak out of a room without being noticed? Will the fudgy, ‘blurry’ word “Islam”, that can cover just about anything the speaker desires, be used to obscure the specific connection with Islamic sunnah? Well, I think it will be one of the above. Or… (I live in hope. Perhaps I am foolish.)
David Wilson says
This outrage will just continue. Like the muslim grooming gangs because Their human rights take precedent. Some.still.here 10 years after thier crimes.
Melc says
Leftists see gays and Muslims as allies. Bit of an oxymoron!!!!
