In this Telegraph article the author tries to find a clue to the vicious mass murderer, Andres Breivik, by tracking down those who knew him. What’s bizarre is that all his acquaintances are frightened to talk about him. The father of his Muslim childhood friend says “The family are terrified of being dragged into the mire. But a family friend said: ‘Arsalan hasn’t known him [Breivik] for 25 years. They were only at primary school together. Arsalan can’t be blamed for what Anders Breivik has done.’”
Why should a childhood friend be afraid because of the crimes of an adult 25 years later? In America everyone who ever knew a criminal are eager to give their impressions. No one expects harm even if their are related by blood. Virtually all who knew Breivik won’t talk to the media and a few who did won’t give their name. There seems to be a fear of guilt-by-association. We counter-jihadi writers know about that. Some of the writers he cites receive hate-mail and threats. Absolutely no major counter-jihadi writer advocates violent overthrow of Western governments and all have condemned this lunatic's acts.
In Norway guilt-by-association and fear of expression are creating a repressive atmosphere. What’s going on there? Does anyone know? Perhaps the last sentences of that article have a clue:

What's happening in Norway?

Peter Svaar, who was friends with the young Breivik, is struggling to come to terms with what has happened. “What keeps me awake at night is not that he’s a monster,” says Mr Svaar, “it is that he is a regular, Norwegian boy.”I confess to be perplexed by this and what we read in the blog posts below. What's happening in Norway?
