Amazing - more than 100,000 people in Oslo (20 per cent of the population) gathered at the city square with roses in their hands showing support for the victims and a firm resolve to meet hatred with love, tolerance and compassion. I am proud to live in such a human country.

The more I hear about this story, the more disgusted I am by the sites/sentiments some here are known to hold dear.

A month has passed and life has returned to close to normal, at least for those directly affected.
News concerning this action are still on the front page news every single day in one way or another.
The last funeral took place yesterday, cause the sister of one of the terror victims had to be admitted from hospital in order to attend the funeral.
A recent survey has shown that 1 out of 4 norwegians, a quarter of the population of five million, knows someone who has been affected by the terror shooting or bombs.
That shows how such an event has a major impact on a small country.
