Numerous news outlets and commentators initially blamed the Norway attack on Islamic militants. Rupert Murdoch’s British newspaper, The Sun, ran a front-page headline titled, “Al Qaeda’s Massacre, Norway’s 9/11.” On the Washington Post’s website, Jennifer Rubin wrote, “This is a sobering reminder for those who think it’s too expensive to wage a war against jihadists.” The Wall Street Journal also initially blamed “jidhadists” reporting that, “Norway is targeted for being true to Western norms.”
