'''If one man can create that much hate, you can only imagine how much love we all together can creat. Violance create violance, hate creates hate, that will not be a good solution.''' CNN interview: http://www.vgtv.no/#!id=42454

Auf Norwegisch: "Om én mann kan vise så mye hat, tenk hvor mye kjærlighet vi alle kan vise sammen." dieser Satz stammt von Helle Gannestad, einem Mitglied der AUF Møre og Romsdal.

'''The terror of Oslo and Utøya reflects the inner cultural conflict in Norway, a conflict between a warrior- and a peace-culture. The reactions show that the terrorist got just the oposite of what he had hoped for, write two of the leading kriminologists of Norway.'''

Friday 22 July, the nightmare day in Norway. The spontaneous interpretation of the first hour was the standard in our country: The Muslim world backfires. With the Quran in their hearts, some led wars in Syria, Afghanistan and Libya, home to Norway. Or at least: They say thanks for last.

But then, into the evening Friday, came the first news of yet another horrific: the massacre at summer camp. You almost have to be Norwegian to understand the symbolic value of Utøya where gruesome happened. Utøya the way back since 1960 been the gathering place for the Labor Party's youth movement. Here they have been, most of those who mean something in the Norwegian labor movement, first as a youth at summer camp, and later returned as lecturers. This creates identity, here linked bands. Gro Harlem Brundtland had been on the island the same day at. 13 which the massacre occurred, the prime minister should have been there the day after then Foreign Minister. The massacre was an attack on labor's bedrock. It had then assumed to be a Norwegian, who selected this goal. And that was it.

A strong nationalist Norwegian been arrested and has confessed. In the midst of horror, this was a relief. Indvandrermodviljen did not reignite. Quite the contrary.

But if it is not an attack from the outside world, a Muslim group who move the war to Norway, how should we deal with this unbelievable?

Maybe we should look at the events and especially of it as must now follow as something other than war against external enemies. This is an internal culture war. It is a struggle about the values ​​which should be allowed to have the thoughts to be allowed to rule in the country. Put very briefly: Should we give the hegemony of a warrior culture in this country or a culture of peace? Peace Culture

The first answers that come from leading politicians, has been characterized by clear rallying for peace culture. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg has taken a real leadership and time and again pointed to solidarity with the victims of disaster and the need to preserve the Norway, we know and love. Justice Minister Knut Storberget, along with leading politicians from almost all parties did the same. And we see these days and solidarity means in practice. Have been performed many courageous and persevering action to help the needy. Many have been faced with the terrifying ethical dilemmas. Shaking it must have been for holiday makers and residents to row out on the fjord against Utøya to pick up injured people who fought in the water, but then to have to reject some, because the boat would sink if more were brought on board. Professional helpers of all kinds have come to.

The first survivors are now being sent home by chartered aircraft. Across the country people stand ready to accept. Through action and word becomes selected, we will preserve a society built on community and solidarity. As a general characterization: The positive aspects of the Norwegian society has been clarified. It seems that there is created a stronger awareness of some basic values. Our identity as an open society built on community and democracy is strengthened. Warrior Culture

But then there is the other culture warrior culture. The media are full of speculation about the perpetrator's alleged psychic habitus. But there is also a need to ask something else, something more: The fact is that there are also a different culture in the country. One that is based on being his own fortune, to come forward, in front of others. Mobility is great, equality ideals are debilitated and welfare ideals with them. The greater the distance from other people, the easier it is to see them as people, but instead view them as a thing something that can be removed. Just before the terrible happened, the offender wrote on his blog: "One person with a belief ice EqualLogic two the force of 100,000 som kun interesseforening garden."

And then there's our actual war participation. The Norwegian policy of waging war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. War, as violence is legitimized.

To kill is also legitimate in other ways. The market is full of war games, some of them created to train U.S. soldiers. Something else will also be the Internet: Lone wolves can find each other, maybe not being together, but support and encouragement for bizarre minority positions. Someone's admiration to warm themselves by a desire to explain and inform. We know this reaction from the description of other horrific killings. From USA describes Jack Katz deed people who kill others with the idea of ​​having to save the entire community. Michel Foucault writes about Pierre Rivière, who in 1830-century killed his mother, sister and brother just to save his mother, who wrote 60 pages in which he explains his actions. The strong man

As of this writing, there are still pouring new data becoming available. At this writing, we are told: The perpetrator had planned the killings for years. And as Pierre Rivière, he has written about it. More than 1,516 pages, he explained his reasons and his plans for the massacres. The nationalists who stand out. The strong man who will save the country from impure races and cultures. Once, we would thank him.

Vidkun Quisling, the founder of the Norwegian Nazi party in 1930 and during the war Norwegian head of state with German backing, felt the same when he is at war's end looking for a position as a priest in a remote Norwegian village.

To fulfill his ideals would offender frame community, community building and the way our society is controlled, says his lawyer. His client sees the latter as responsible for the multicultural policies being pursued. He would remove them. Therefore, he removed civilization borders. Norway is mobilized

But he has been the opposite of what he planned. The outrageous events have rallied the Norwegian society. What has happened, seems to lead to greater caution in discussions across traditional political dividing lines. The tone of the political debate will be mitigated, assuming both the Minister of Labour Party and the leaders of the Left and Progress Party.

Perhaps also the boundaries of how we see and talk about immigrants changing, so the future becomes more difficult to use the type names that keep others down and out. Perhaps it also creates a greater proximity between political leaders and population. The events gather across provinces and gathers even across ethnicity on Utøya was young with a background in many cultures and diverse backgrounds.

The tragedy of the government quarter and Utøya will lead to several technical measures like bomb film on windows, fences more visible and probably more control, which reminds us of the insecurity. But it seems the time of writing out to the bar, from the very first reactions, with emphasis on taking care of the fundamental values ​​of solidarity and community are strengthened.
