OSLO: -- Norway’s Labor Party will return Friday to the island of Utoya for its first youth camp at the site since 2011, when a gunman professing far-right-wing ideology attacked the youth camp and killed 69 people.

On July 22, 2011, Anders Breivik set off a bomb in Oslo’s center, killing eight people, then traveled to the nearby island and began his rampage. He said he chose the target—and his victims—because he blamed the then-ruling Labor Party for promoting multiculturalism in Norway.

The Labor Party’s youth camp was canceled in 2012 and was held in other location in the subsequent years.

"Those who are preparing to return to Utoya are helping to write a new page in the history of the island," Mani Hussaini, a 27-year-old from Syrian Kurdistan who was elected the head of the party’s youth wing last year, told Agence France-Presse ahead of the three-day camp that begins Friday.

Instead of this mass killer getting the death penalty he gets permission to start studying at university.??????

[BuaBS]

He was right about being against multiculturalism , but he chose the wrong people to take it out on.

[ABCer]

He chose the wrong form of protest - killing people is not allowed.

He chose the wrong people to kill.

All the killings were in vain.

As is proven by Mani Hussaini a true 27 year old Norwegian from Syrian Kurdistan - the Head of the Norwegian Party Youth Wing - helping to write a new page in the history of the Norwegian island Utoya.
