This is great to see. The sad thing is that it won't change the radicals. Still though, it's good to see the peaceful side of islam.

Do they not know what sectarian violence is? They're not human shields, they're sitting ducks.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Way more moderates than extremists but we rarely hear about the good things the moderates do. Only the crazy violence of these extremists.

Perhaps its because Norway enjoys press freedom and its people are not being manipulated into fear and hatred, it ranks third in the world index. http://rsf.org/index2014/en-index2014.php |

Nice PR campaign.
If they are serious, then they should do more by ostracizing Muslims with radical beliefs. Until then, these silly publicity measures will not do any good.

meanwhile in denmark 500 of them show up to the funeral of the dead terrorist

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

Not only that. The Friday prayer (which included a brief ceremony for the gunman) at his mosque was attended by 3,000 people. There was no space in the mosque, so hundreds had to wait outside. |

Nice to see but changes nothing about the fact that we live in a dangerously unbalanced and polarized world

Most Muslims probably do, but why would you hear about it? Do we need them to go on TV or wear TV shirts proclaiming such thoughts? Nothing will ever be enough for some people. Personally I'd like to see some Christians publicly ostracizing Obama and Bush and Blair and Cameron etc. |

They are trying to "bundle" islamophobia with antisemitism and victimize themselves. In a "If you dislike us then you probably dislike jews as well, so you are a fu**in' nazi." style.

There is no question if moderate Muslims exist. They do. The problem is that there are Muslims who want to kill them and anyone else who is apostate. According to the Koran, the penalty for being apostate is death.
anyways, the news needs to cover stuff like this more often or as much as possible. A "PR" campaign is definitely needed to show Muslims that most do not agree that the caliphate is relevant. The Koran is what it is. You can't rewrite it and there may always be a few nuts believing they can invoke the prophecy as a matter of human effort. I'm a naturalist and disagree with such things. If the apocalypse happens it will happen through divinity and not mortal man.
