US President Barack Obama has admitted that the Norway incident has shown that there are other types of terrorism, not just by Muslims. This statement, part of the eight-page anti-terrorism plan prepared by the White House, says that Muslims are not responsible for terrorism, and proposes, among other measures, stopping attacks on women wearing the hijab. However, the plan also calls on citizens to take their own measures to protect themselves. That would be a call for irresponsible vigilantism. However, President Obamas statement is important in itself, for it acknowledges that the killing of nearly 80 people by a native Norwegian was an act of terrorism for which no Muslim was responsible. He implied that a kneejerk reaction, ascribing any act of terrorism to Muslim 'extremists, as was done in the case of Anders Behring Brievik by the Western media initially, would be avoided. That needed special denials by the Norwegian government, which deserves praise for its courage in doing so. This represents a reasoned response, and shows that President Obama realises that the Norwegian attack was also an act of terrorism, committed by someone other than a Muslim, who are unfairly blamed for all acts of terrorism committed within the Western world. However, this realisation, while welcome, has not been extended by him to other countries and situations. It also does not acknowledge the damage done to the American cause not just by its own illegal occupation of Muslim lands, Iraq and Afghanistan, but the occupation of Palestine and Kashmir by its allies, all of which act as channels fomenting terrorism. President Obama has not brought the fairness and justice to the American foreign policy he was expected to, but it is hoped that now, with the Christian terrorism that happened in Norway, he might realise the need for there to be justice in foreign policy, and for Muslims not to be involved in the actions of a limited minority. Especially when the people perpetrating terror are not Muslims.
