Norway massacre reveals West's violence problem

The horrific July 22 terrorist massacre in Norway should be the cause for a lot of soul searching in the West.

The massacre by Anders Behring Breivik at the youth camp of the Labour Party on the island of Utoya, and the bombing of government buildings in Oslo, were motivated by a fanatical belief that the Labour Party, the senior partner in a coalition government, was “betraying” Norway by being too soft on migrants and Muslims.

Unfortunately there is an unwritten but strictly followed “political correctness” in public discussion that stops any real examination of the source of most politically motivated violence.

It is not acceptable to state the simple truth: most violence in the world comes from the West and has done so for the past 500 years. ................(more)

"most violence in the world comes from the West and has done so for the past 500 years. "

Million person massacres have been common in Africa, India and China, not to mention other countries in Asia(remember Pol Pot).

Sorry, but I think it's bullshit. yes, the West has done a lot of violence, but so has the rest of the world. I think it is a human thing, not just a Western thing.
