Always blame the muslims, that's the easiest way. If you think about it, it could lead to invasions and more oil!!
The media is so controlled that it hurts

Media corporations that people believe are serious are only an outlet for the government to spread lies and brainwash their people. It's just so sad and I can't believe many people are too quick to jump on conclusions and blame muslims this fast. |
Well, one group of extreme islamists did say they did it (they took that back later) and other groups have celebrated the attacks and expressed their full support, so there's a reason for people suspecting muslims.

There was no reason to do so at the time when that article was written. Everyone suspects muslims because the media tells you they are evil, and you swallow that without thinking for yourself.

I agree with what you say, and that article really jumped to conclusions. It's common practise to blame the muslims I guess. The extreme left among other groups have been responsible for more terror attacks in Europe than extreme muslims, yet most of us think of muslims whenever a bomb explodes.
In this case I'd say it wasn't unreasonable to suspect islamists at first, until the islamists withdraw their statement about being responsible. Most focus also was on the bomb against the government area in the beginning, so I guess many thought it was an attack against the Norwegian government for their involvement in Afghanistan. Later it became more apparent that the youth camp was the real target though.

Who? When? Where?

I should have added "in the last years" since I don't know about the situation before, but I'm tired and it's been a horrible day so...
According to Europol islamists were behind 1 attack in 2009 and 3 attacks in 2010. The extreme left was behind 40 attacks in 2009 and 45 attacks in 2010.
Statistics from 2009 (in Swedish; extremvänster=extreme left): http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/islamistisk-terrorism-ovanlig-i-europa
Europol's report from 2011 (data from 2010): https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/publications/te-sat2011_0.pdf
Edit: it seems like way more islamists has been arrested though...
