Indonesian non reactions to the killing spree by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway.
There has been little Indonesian reaction to the Norwegian massacre – the most searched for items on Detik’s search engine remain mostly old favourites:
Apart from standard official statements; Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said
We are very shocked and dismayed by the incidents in Norway. We condemn the shooting and bombing that have killed civilians. We express deep condolences to the victims, their families, and the Norwegian government
The apparent fact that the killer was on an “anti Muslim crusade” has seemed to excite little interest within the country.
Dearie me Stevo,
It appears nuances are beyond you. All immigrants deserve the right to be treated fairly and honestly its a pretty simple premise really. Stop being disingenious, you and I both know your point was if SA do not tolerate certain behaviours then it was fair enough that Australia adopt the same xenophobic, intolerant attitudes. A race to the bottom no less.
One assumes the bloke you are quoting would be be eligable as an immigrant under the highly intellectual white nationalist policies .
Yet again, you are rabbiting on about cultural norms, pray do tell us what cutural norms do your White Nationalists stand for? Is it that hard or is it that embarrassing to say out loud?
Sorry Stevo, I think its all getting a bit beyond you and I have better things to do.
Astaga, the quoting of celebs has started. Now it’s the time to leave this discussion.
Once again, not my point. You said:
so any girl wearing a jilbad in Australia will get some loud mouth yob abusing her sooner or later.
I invited you to consider how that -same- women would be treated if she wore a low cut top and mini skirt in SA.
The point being, that the Aussie yob sees this as a violation of his cultural norms, in the same way elements of Saudi society may. I expressed no personal view either way. I was pointing out a double standard.
See, not that hard to figure out !
As for the white nationalist, they are pretty much like you. They believe their cultural values are superior.
An example of your thinking:
who cares what SA or any other country does or does not do.
Yeah who cares what those weird foreigners think, a mate ?
Unlike you, nationalists are generally more tolerant of what other cultures do in their own countries. They do not seek to impose their beliefs on others, but to simply protect their own culture. You may want to take a leaf from their book.
I hold myself to blame, I should not feed the trolls. Then again I am just soo curious what a White Nationalist actually stands for beyond the inane. I am of course assuming those fine upstanding examples of tolerance and goodwill the EDL are White Nationalists.
I guess a “troll” is some one who points out your double standards and lack of a coherent moral position ?
Once again I note you are unable to refute my points, and equally unable to make a point of your own.
I don’t know much about the EDL, but unlike you, I do not “assume” to know.
How do you form an opinion on a group you do not know anything about? Looks a bit like intolerance and fear based on ignorance. Not very PC Oigal, tut tut tut
Yeah, nothing to reply to.
State an actual position, then we can chat some more.
@ Berlian Biru
I really hope I have finally calmed your frayed nerves on this issue. No Christian takeover of any western society whatsoever, in fact the complete opposite has been happening very successfully for the past century or so.
Relax man, itâs not happening.
There I was, feeling relieved thanks to BB’s reassurances, then I come across this article on Slate about Rick Perry; probable front runner for the Republican nomination in the US and therefore likely future US president in the current economic climate. Lucky for the rest of the world, Rick has a plan; he’s going to pray away the economic crisis!
Just two months ago, Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, became the initiator of an event where Christians would “call upon Jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles.” Perry was coming off a Day of Prayer to call for rain amid a crippling statewide drought.
The possible next leader of the free world also read some scripture;
He reads from the Book of Joel, 2:12-17:
“Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and have pity and leave behind a blessingâgrain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God. Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.
As governor, he has also presided over hundreds of executions and has raised the prospect of secession.
So nothing to worry about then…
Ah Mr Perry, also the man who wants intelligent design given equal time in science classes as silly little myths like Evolution (faith classes I could buy…but science please)
Of course, its no surprise that, the Tea Party and hard right conservative evangelists have successfully hi jacked and decimated the Republican Party and till now remain the biggest Asset BO has for reelection. It is however frightening the judgment day loons have potential access to the nuclear button.
Oh and BM you forgot to mention the rain didn’t come apparently God was busy.
apparently God was busy
Typical fasting month, even God can’t be bothered doing anything…
I see Londons multicultural ethnic melting pot is busy enjoying the results of an open immigration policy, even as I write.
This is occurring in a country that knows no limit to the the grovelling concessions they make to other cultures. It is even considered “insensitive” to celebrate the native christian beliefs or fly the national flag, in many areas.
I liked this quote best:
“We ain’t got no jobs, no money … We heard that other people were getting things for free, so why not us?”
Yeah, that is just the sort of immigrant the west wants !!!
I wonder how decent hard working immigrants feel about this? Yet Oigal thinks the EDL are the biggest threat. I will let facts speak for themselves.
Something for Norway to look forward to I guess. Breivik seemed to have other Ideas.
knows no limit to the the grovelling concessions they make to other cultures

(I didn’t even know this was all them evil non Christians rioting)
I wonder how decent hard working immigrants feel about this
Wow how many hats could you actually hang on this particular peg Stevo, still no one could ever accuse you of over thinking an issue.
but as usual you save the most fatuous till last..
Something for Norway to look forward to I guess. Breivik seemed to have other Ideas.
Apparently if only England had gone around murdering children on camps all of this could have been avoided..Strange..very very strange view of the world.
It’s still pretty confused but it would appear Stevo that your view that it is all the fault of them evil immigrants is going to need some work (I am sure you will find a way)
A view from the Australian Newspaper from their man on the ground…
From what I saw in Hackney the largest contingent were gangs of young men taking the chance to break into stores and vent their resentment of the police. They wore “hoodie” jackets and were often masked.
A small minority were politically-inspired anarchists delighted to have an open fight with “the system.” They tended to wear helmets and T-shirts.
Some were middle-aged family people who were simply greedy and selfish enough to loot their local corner store, even though they shop there every day and know the owner.
And quite a few were just idiots adled by drugs, alcohol and boredom who were swept up in the excitement and pranced around inciting strangers to burn, fight or smash a window….
I was in LA for those riots and the stark contrast this time is that just like London’s street gangs these mobs have been racially mixed…
A man in his 60s emerged with five bottles of beer but as he passed a group of watching neighbours he copped an earful from a furious middle-aged mother of African descent.
“You know the woman who owns that store, how can you do this to her?” she screamed at him.
Of course, don’t feel too isolated Stevo there is plenty of people sharing your weird world. One local plonker has somehow managed to tie the the riots to the fact he is still pining for the days when you could legally beat other people children with sticks and belts.
Apparently if only England had gone around murdering children on camps all of this could have been avoided..Strange..very very strange view of the world.
Not sure that I, or anyone, actually said that Oigal. However since you bring it up; back in the day, old England did do such things and far worse.
You may also want to check your facts. The victims in Norway were not a bunch of children on summer camp. They were a bunch of socialist agitators. Given the horrors their absurd ideology has inflicted on the modern world, I feel no sympathy.
I think immigration is a good thing, up to a point. It helps a country grow and improve, for the benefit of all. America is a good example, with many of its greatest accomplishments coming from first or second generation immigrants.
The problem is when immigration dilutes the very thing the immigrants went there for in the first place. Its not black or white, but a question of degree.
The victims in Norway were not a bunch of children on summer camp. They were a bunch of socialist agitators. Given the horrors their absurd ideology has inflicted on the modern world, I feel no sympathy.
Thanks for sharing your true feelings, stevo. Now what’s left is calling BO a n*gger in stead of making many indirect references to his skin colour.
You have outdone yourself this time Stevo, having set yourself a very low standard and failed to reach even that.
Something for Norway to look forward to I guess. Breivik seemed to have other Ideas.
Only so many ways to read that Stevo, none of them good.

Even for a troll you do take repugnance to a new level. Socialist Agitators, what nonsense! The vast majority were the younger generation of the centerist left Labor Party. Of course as a wise man once said if you don’t lean left when you are young you have no heart if you still lean left when you are old you have no brains. Its called youthful idealism. Just because they deserve more, lets take a quick look some of these evil agitators than in your view deserved to be shot down like dogs. Must be sad pathetic place world you live in where a 14 year old girl scares you so much and says more about you than her. Sorry Stevo, you have done your dash with me, you are a clown (in the Steven King sicko clown way) and henceforth as they say “sent to Coventry”.

Would you like me to list the kids killed by Stalin, Mao, Pol Pott and so on Oigal ?
Or maybe a few real life stories………… No I don’t think I will do that.
Of course as a wise man once said if you donât lean left when you are young you have no heart if you still lean left when you are old you have no brains. Its called youthful idealism.
Agreed. I nearly put in that quote in myself.
Thanks for sharing your true feelings, stevo. Now whatâs left is calling BO a n*gger in stead of making many indirect references to his skin colour.
That is more of an American term Lairedion, and some are not sure he fits that description. I would not want to be considered a “troll” or anything.
It also does not sit well with how I actually think, as per:
America is a good example, with many of its greatest accomplishments coming from first or second generation immigrants.
You are, of course, free to form ideas that are contrary to actual evidence.
American term or not, you highlighted his skin colour many times in the Barry Soetoro thread, not his Kenyan ancestry.
I would not want to be considered a âtrollâ or anything.
No, I don’t consider you a troll. I do believe your thoughts on the Norway killings you shared here, are sincere. To me it’s pretty sick to relate and approve the slaughtering of Norwegian youths because Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot committed genocides. Supersedes any of the nutter comments elsewhere on this site.
America is a good example, with many of its greatest accomplishments coming from first or second generation immigrants.
You are, of course, free to form ideas that are contrary to actual evidence.
No, I am an immigrant to the Netherlands myself and cannot but agree. đ
Yes I did mention Obama’s skin colour many times. But you missed the point. It was the total opposite to what you think. I was saying he is judged by his skin colour, not his actions.
By the way my liberal minded friend; to assume that being racist is wrong, alienates most of the world.
Most people and cultures are essentially racist, in that they prefer their own culture/race/social group etc above others.
The idea that this very human trait is somehow wrong, is an intellectual experiment that has only recently emerged in a few countries. Even within those countries, it has gained little traction (if people are honest and speak openly).
Nothing very inclusive/multicultural about screaming RACIST !
NO, its not about mistreating other cultures ( like you have been told) its about preserving distinct cultural groups.
Its ok if (for example) Japan protects its culture or any other non European group., but sends the liberal left into fits if the protected culture looks a bit too “white”. Why the double standard do you think?
Oh Oigal almost forgot…. based on your figures, the average age of the “children” is over 24.
Nice try at appealing to emotion to cloud what you are really supporting.
Impressive rant stevo. The bizarre comments just keep coming:
Oh Oigal almost forgotâŚ. based on your figures, the average age of the âchildrenâ is over 24.
Approving killings and to make it look “less worse” playing with victim’s ages.
Not to be forgotten, he also killed another 8 persons by bombing government buildings, probably also populated with socialist agitators.
It must be tough for guys like you Lairedion, maintaining such a white liberal eurocentric view of the world.
The biggest country in the world is China. Its also one of the oldest developed countries with a long written history. They have been thinking about stuff a very long time.
How do you think they view such things & do Chinese ideas on human rights appeal to you?
Next biggest is India. Also an ancient and advanced culture. They have the caste system, a real beacon of human rights, do you agree?
How about good old Indonesia ?
Your entitled to your views, but don’t for a single minute assume them to be widely held or more valid than the views of so many others.
I have opted for the lazy way out, and can see that other views are valid, even when I do not share them. Some of what goes on in the world appalls me. The best any of us can do is protect our own society, while tolerating those whose do things differently.
You want to cry liberal tears……… then cry them over the thousands of dead kids in the countries the US occupies, in a misguided attempt to protect your western values. Not over a few dead agitators in Norway.
Approving killings and to make it look âless worseâ playing with victimâs ages.
Not what I was doing. Its called math. Not my strong point, so feel free to check Oigals figures.
Is 25 is classed as a child?. If so, there are allot of kids in the armed service.
The media has spun this as a bunch of innocent kiddies frolicking around on a summer camp. Of course I think what happened is terrible. However that does not make fiction into fact.
But as Oigal said recently…….. who cares what other countries do [sic]
First you felt no sympathy because they were a bunch of socialist agitators, now you think it’s terrible.
And your reasoning about the victim’s age is bizarre. The Utoya youth (!) camp was attended by approx. 600 teenagers. It’s quite normal a reasonable amount of adults organize and manage such camps. Anders Breivik targeted this youth (!) camp to execute his heinous crime. Only sicko’s would want to play around with ages of randomly killed innocents to make some points
FYI, I’m not white and not attached to any ideology
Can someone please tell us how we can blame mass looting by a mix of third-generation black kids and white working class scallywags on the Muslims?
It’s been three days now, and I still can’t work it out.
I’m sure some of the regulars here can figure it out, given their past form. Please – we need your help; life is very confusing in Britain at the moment…
đ
They weren’t beaten with belts and canes by teachers at school timdog…:-)
Ah, that’ll be it Oigal – not forgetting to make that “beaten by unqualified teachers with belts and canes…”
But the Muslims? How can we blame them? It’s important! So far the only oblique mention of Muslims has been some Turkish kebab-wallahs who managed to defend one particular strip of shops from the mob, and that certainly won’t do!
Come on Timdog stop being so bl**dy obtuse :-). We been told time and again that greatest if not only risk to Western Civilization is them dang Muslims and who are we to let ourselves be confused by reality.
I do note, it has not stopped some from continuing the usual rants against immigrants although even the most nonsensical has had to fit in a disclaimer oh my goodness, there is some white trash involved at the bottom of the rant. I did despite everything get a chuckle at the suggestion by one somewhat disturbed local commentator that the only way to fix the problem was to shoot people down in the street and bring in Russian Hind Attack Helicopters…
Anyway, from my understanding from our local fringe friends. The solution is pretty simple. Shoot children down in parks, shoot people down in the streets, use attack helicopters for crowd control, ban Muslims and expel all immigrants at the first sign of not skulling a six pack on Friday night and vomiting down the pub, whilst screaming allegiance to the Monarchy.
Gee, and people wonder why rational “conservatives” wash their hands of the label nowadays.
But the Muslims? How can we blame them? Itâs important! So far the only oblique mention of Muslims has been some Turkish kebab-wallahs who managed to defend one particular strip of shops from the mob, and that certainly wonât do!
I’ll have a go. The current guvverment system of assigning a council house, car, and a weekly stipend of a thousand quid to each and every asylum seeker the moment they arrive in the UK is finally taking its toll.
Also, if the kebab wallahs weren’t there in the first place, nobody would have tried to smash up their shops. Stands to reason, dunnit?
I blame Clarkson for all of this.

This is like shooting fish in a barrel:
And later:
Unless the immigrants come from SA I guess?
I mean what could a country a few generations old, based on a penal colony, possibly learn from one of the oldest cultures on earth.
I don’t agree with the nonsense in SA. I am also a staunch atheist, but they (Saudis) are not. I just don’t arrogantly assume my particular believes are right for all others.
You attack those who defend the cultural norms of the West, then slag off the Arab world in the next breath. Again, I can not see what position you actually hold. There appears to be none.
