I never really read up on this story but I always got the sense whenever hearing about it (the initial killing anyway) that the media almost wanted to paint this picture that Denmark and all Scandinavian countries for that matter had some kind of anti-semitic, anti immigration problem. Like the two were connected. I even saw headlines referring to Anders Breivik (whose main motive was immigration-related) and this story as though they were related somehow.
Upon reading this article, I notice the killer was born of Palestinian immigrants, and I just found out he was a radical Islamist who was involved with gangs all his life from reading a different article. His motives for his crime were not related to immigration in the slightest. But why am I not surprised at such media fuckery. These attacks had nothing to do with immigration. But cue the religionists playing the victim card and making out like their cultures are under some kind of attack from the nation they now call home. Not like we've seen that before.
