Oslo Pride had to be postponed, but not canceled. Oslo Pride will return – bigger, stronger, more colorful and more diverse than ever here in the capital. We must show them, the hateful terrorists, that they will never win, says Raymond Johansen, mayor of Oslo.
Sound like a real Patriot.
Madmen?
This is USA’s way of demanding Norway to allow US military bases on its soil. And the terrorism level will increase until finally Norway accepts.
Iranian? They need to get that war going too, I suppose?
