attack used the language that you can hear very often across europe about. about immigrants immigration about islam about the koran except for so here's a man that spoke in extreme terms and acted even more extreme yes absolutely and let me add my condolences and heartfelt sorrow for what did take place i mean this barbaric act of terrorism that took place is an extension of and to muslim islamophobia a trend that is sweeping europe and it is like you mentioned the extreme end of that wedge and unfortunately i think i do agree with a lot of what your reporter said earlier which is that a disproportionate amount of resources and time has been allocated in dealing with one strand of terrorism at the expense of others we have europol and others who have indicated for years way back from two thousand and six that the threat from far right extremists and that of terrorism is something real and should be taken seriously ok stephen what do you think about this attack here because again this is norwegian man i mean he was part of a lot of these different groups that

rhetoric in europe it is far higher than the u.k. for sure we have countries in the u.k. countries in europe who are banning certain acts of islam so they've banned the minaret they've banned the wearing of the grail all of these things are happening it's there in the u.k. it's not that bad at the moment there you go he says it's good to see it now we knew impinge on people's human rights and what are you talking about a liberal democracy you talk about democracy you could not listen to even read what i was doing or implied that i had even replied here that's a very good point because you look at saudi arabia which is the center of islam that's where america is all of the religions are banned and yet the western governments germany. i was very interesting i mean you would not be interrupting you stephen. we germany's just so two hundred tanks to. saudi arabia and we've sold jet fighters there dubiously now you can bet your life not one of those tanks will find its way to afghanistan to fight the taliban nor will it will they find their way into iraq to fight al qaida and

and the idea of the united europe the european union was europe was never going to go to war internally with each other again somehow the idea of european unity became i checked to surrender to a financial oligarchy and turn over all of property to bankers the wealthiest one percent of the pyramid and roll back the last thousand years to near feudalism greece didn't realize it was signing on to you know feudalism and that's what the european central bank is all about is not a central bank it doesn't do it a central bank does it doesn't finance government budget deficit which is what the bank of england new york federal reserve or u.s. federal reserve and other banks do. it simply stands by and forces government deficit to result in more and more debt to commercial banks so that instead of government deficits extending the economy with new investment and employment and up for market demand a government deficit shrinks the economy by leading to foreclosures and forfeiture of the public domain forfeiture of houses and mass impoverishment that is not what greece thought it was siting on to

you tell about your mind you were talking about extremism in europe. ok as i want to go back to you in a comment that you made before we went to the break about the media and al qaeda it's quite interesting that in the fifteen hundred page manifesto that was left behind there was an enormous amount of admiration actually for al qaeda because of its tactics i mean that is going to be one of the greatest irony is that all this considering that media and many politicians including the united states instantly said this is al qaeda or al qaeda like operation this is telling us they were missing this is a huge security lapse and on the part of western governments because it's their own homegrown people that are committing most of these acts of terrorism. yeah i mean before i answer that if i could finish the point i was trying to make earlier even today you would find mainstream media do not call what took place in norway a terrorism act they don't report it as a terrorist act you know they call it everything but terrorists acts that's one thing second thing

the influence political discourse in europe. oddly tragedy that struck norway on friday has become yet another grim reminder of the growing threat of far right extremism a problem long since recognized but unresolved in europe with the body count still in progress authorities and politicians in europe are left to re-evaluate the spread of domestic radicalism and possibly overcast the profile of a modern day terrorist in the sense of grief over such a high death toll as a result of the bombing of a federal building in los low and the shooting rampage at a labor party youth camp. story for you chris. lawrence. we have been in order to get. the norwegian people to the admission of the need to ask hard questions particularly how one man was able to bend such destruction without being stopped will want to make sure that we like others any lessons there are to learn about how to be more secure against horrific rages like this indeed lessons need to be learned to identify terrorist threats such as the charge anders behring breivik long

s that the political integration is false that europe and the social. and so there is a neat whole i would say social integration greats and. to give people a say in the policies in the in shaping their political agenda all nation states and europe otherwise we're going to have more and more accidents like that so you talk about you talk about the need for policies to integrate but basically western christians and muslims who have come to live in europe i guess we spoke to moments before you were saying that both to blame both are refusing to integrate norway is not the only e.u. country where far right sentiment has fled where we see similar aggression do you think in the future in other parts of your. well we just heard. they also there was a little bit saying where are you in the caf just like in france and you can expect . uprising is there i think because all things like that i mean of banning if you just impose a bad deal for additional clothes a whatever explaining the identification problems that may lead to some discontent with people who rejec

european organization police forces in europe europe all. together. setting up a group of three of you also begs for us to raid police forces across europe in looking. inward as opposed to what. the question is why this is not done and not been done before because there are any number of reports that you can read on the internet and privately those reports. suggest that the the rise of right wing extremism in europe has been problem for a number of years so the question is why have we not moved into ourselves could be of that of these things much bursar probably we could go on. even when we go from here ok now as as an outsider looking in if you look at norway traditionally it's known as a quiet and peace loving nation and it recently though there have been headlines over several extremist related arrests so why is that is that just a step in the efforts arresting extremists or is that an increase of extremism possibly a struggle and. we have to remember what happened christmas time in the neighboring country sweden last year we also have to remember

at across europe europe. to asia from overseas but not necessarily looking towards. of right wing groups rather across europe not just in. elsewhere across european nations. the quest to know is why this has not been done before that our region prime minister said more democracy and open this is the answer to the violence but hello lure us from the region institute of international affairs believes it's the country's policies of multiculturalism rather turned the gun that against his own. behind an increasingly. intense and he did the debate about immigration. about both immigration is doing to the region culture no to culturalism is really not the way to go forward to marginalize the region so feel their voices are not being heard in the political establishment. in the region people have never been consulted democratically about better a bump immigration on. and that the political establishment is a sort of of the elite that lives in areas which are depicted all white and that is lower cost the region and so who feel that the immigrants are sort of getting into the

europe now is on its feet. i mean, there probably will never be a european army, but as we have seen in some of these missions, there is a very strong army of europeans. i would submit that that is what it will probably be for quite awhile. during this whole canard about, you know, europe, they don't fight and negotiate and so on. talking with the general about my earlier book. he said don't let anybody fool you. when the interests are threatened to there is nobody that can fight as well as the europeans. and he said, well, we can't, the americans, but so coming now to where i want to end so we can answer some questions, i think the future of nato by itself, the shelf life is very small. i think the countries that are part of nato, you know, they don't really see eye to eye. also, i believe the europeans are quite interested in doing their own thing. since a rock and a little while before that i simply don't believe that the united states and europe are totally in sync when it comes security. at think that whol
