| Norway — Ugly, but Inevitable | |
By Zarrar Khuhro

Watching the initial coverage of the Norway massacre on BBC, I felt a tinge of sympathy for the news producers whom I could literally feel scrambling in the background. After all, with the shooter being a right-wing Christian extremist, the standard rundown they had prepared could no longer be used. Gone was the package on the cartoon controversy. Unusable was the old report on the 7/7 bombing. The rolodex of ‘experts’ on Islam and terrorism was now just a dead weight. Instead, several analysts and academics from a variety of Norwegian institutes and universities had to be trotted out.
European far-right parties, with their xenophobic, anti-immigration agendas and their persistent I Islam-bashing, have been gaining in power over the last decade.
