Please pass the condolences of all Australians.on to all the people and families affected by the murderous acts of Anders Breivik early on Saturday morning in Oslo.
Words are not enough to express what revulsion we feel at such a callous taking of human life.
All life is precious but particularly heinous is the number of young people who had just begun to live their lives and will not now ever have the chance to grow old. We weep for them all.

We, the American people, share in your pain. The horrific, senseless loss of life due to the actions of an inhumane fanatic is a tragedy beyond comprehension. May you find a small amount of solace in that, from all corners of the world, hearts are reaching out to you and prayers are being offered for your behalf during this time of great sorrow. May you find strength and courage in the power of love and compassion.

I am ashamed that this lunnatic supports Israel. We have nothing to do with his idiology. My heart goes out for the families' loss and for the the tragedy the Norwegian people have to endure. We all condemn his vecious act and think he shoul be sitting in jail forever!!
May god bless the Norwegian people and strengthen the families' heart.

I am moved to express my sorrow and offer my prayers for the victims, their families, their friends and your country.
I felt the awful news in something of a personal way as I worked years ago in the financing of offshore drilling rigs, with Statoil and Norwegian banks. I had then and continue to maintain the highest regard for your people, folks wonderful to work with.
God bless and keep you all.

NOW WE MUST STAND TOGETHER FOR THE COUNTRY WE LOVE
Islam.no is deeply shaken by the tragic terrorist attacks that struck the Government Building and the AUF-camp on Utøya. Our deepest sympathy goes to the victims and their relatives, which in this case, all of us.
The man who is arrested for the crime has been active on websites document.no. Although islam.no reject the polemical rhetoric that often comes from the content, we will also emphasize the principle that no group is collectively responsible for individual atrocities.
We must now have to express the disagreements, and unite in the struggle for a free, safe and inclusive Norway – we must stand together for the country we love and the values we all share.

Words simply cannot describe how things have curled
Oblong I will turn for sure in addition to being swirled
Regretfully whatever is happened cannot be unfurled
Lost are not only just Norwegians but the whole world
Decidedly it never happened there so they are whirled
S H O C K E D
Surprisingly on Fri 22 July 2011 the world was shocked
Having attacked two places peaceful Norway is rocked
Of course it had not even dreamt alike so all are locked
Civilian disguised as policeman opened fire and knocked
Killed are 93 people at two spots and the killer is docked
Exact figures may change later when each one is stocked
Devil Andreb Behring Breivik did it alone is now rocked
O V E R
Offered he no regrets for killing as many as 93 and over
Vulture even don’t do alike hence be crushed by mover
Exited those men and women whose lives were not over
Resultantly each condemned whether ordinary or rover
N O R W A Y
Norway flag flew at half mast indeed all the global way
Of course King Haralad & Queen Sojna led as they pray
Ran tears on their fsces as to site & church came they
With heavy heart they lit candles and placed bouquet
Alas those who lost their lives have gone far too away
You and I cannot do anything for them except to pray

My relatives, including my folks, live in the highest concentration of people of Norwegian heritage outside of Norway. As you can guess, that would NE North Dakota (Grand Forks) and Northern Minnesota. The traditions and ties to Norway are strong. Many of us have spent time in Norway. I know that many prayers (and tears) were offered this morning for Norway, in that area as well as world-wide and they included many religions. However, I am wondering if there will be an International moment of silence or a day/evening that we can have a candle or something to show our support of Norway during this horrific time.

To the Norwegian people: Having visited your beautiful country many years ago, I was shocked and dismayed to learn about the horrible tragedy that happened in Norway. Please know that the hearts of many people throughout the world are breaking with yours.
N. Olson-Martin
As an American of Norwegian heritage, I am both shocked and saddened by the horrific events that occurred in Norway yesterday. My last visit to Norway was only 22 months ago with my husband and folks. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think something like this would take place in this peaceful and serene country. My sincere condolences to the people of Norway.
Jeff Kamen
My heart-felt condolences to the people of Norway, a kind and decent people who live gentle lives and have always raced to help those in need. As to the accused mass murderer arrested for the Oslo bombing and the massacre of innocents at the youth camp, it is quite likely that he acted alone because what he did required planning and determination, but no genius, no conspiracy beyond his own evil and the ideology of hatred that consumed him. There is a terrible similarity between the Oklahoma City bomber, a self-righteous right wing fanatic named Timothy McVeigh and the the accused Oslo bomber, another self-righteous right wing fanatic. Both men hated their Governments. both men used fertilizer-fueled car bombs and if you look at photos of the immediate aftermath of the Oslo bombing and the Oklahoma City horror, they are strikingly similar…

My thoughts are with the Norwegian people, essentially the families and friends who have lost their loving ones. Reminds me on the rampage taking place at the parliament house happenend in September 2001 here in Zug, Switzerland where so many people have been killed I knew personally. What a sad day!
Norman Barnard
Oslo is one of my favourite city's in the world, the Norwegian people are friendly and kind and the thought that this has happened to such a wonderful country has upset me greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families involved and my wish is that peace is restored.
