Leviarius said:Hello all!
I`m a 20 year old norwegian student, who thought it was a good idea to venture beyond all the norwegian political forums, and found this one.
I`m a very curious soul, and I`ve always been interested in other cultures and countries. We norwegians think we know so much about american (political) culture, but actually we don`t at all. For example I thought that the political landscape in all of the Western world was like here in Europe, where people are judged by their economic-political views and their view of what role the government should play in the economy.
But when I signed up the only thing that was asked was if I had a liberal or conservative view of values. This would indicate that american politics are mainly about values, right?
Anyway; hello all, I look forwards to alot of interesting debates

ptsdkid: Of course there are some problems with radical islam, but they are not far as grave as some people would like the portrait them. Two muslims are attending my class, and they are just like the rest of us. There are some radical and dangerous elements here too, but they are very small, and very much frowned upon in the muslim community.
Even so, there is a tendency in Norway that only the radical muslim elements get any attention in the media. This has though changed for the better in the wake of the Muhammed drawings, where moderate muslims have stepped forward and expressed their discontent with radical islam.
When all this is said, I have never met a radical muslim, but I`ve met several moderate ones

My values are not based upon morality, morality is for the weak, but rather right and wrong are based upon virtu and fortuna, the ends justify the means and in the end the winners write history.
