On Thursday, the SV leader posted a Twitter message about the attack in France. He then reacted strongly to parts of the answer.
– Cruel and gruesome attack in France. No one should bow down to this extremism. We must fight and defend the open society and freedom of expression, wrote SV leader Audun Lysbakken on Twitter at 2pm on Thursday afternoon.
Two women and a man were killed when an assailant entered the Notre-Dame church in Nice on Thursday. It is said that a woman’s neck was cut off. The attacker was shot and wounded by the police.
French President Emmanuel Macron himself visited the Notre-Dame church in Nice a few hours after the attack, which he described as an Islamist terrorist attack.
– Once again, a terrorist attack has hit our country. Three of our compatriots have fallen in Nice. It is quite clear that it is France that is under attack, he said.

One by one, the responses to Lysbakken’s message came from other Twitter users:
– This is the result of SV’s thoughts on free immigration, writes one.
– 7% of Muslims in Norway are in favor of the death penalty for blasphemy. There are no “individuals,” writes another, with a link to this Filter Nyheter case in 2017.
– If you mean something, then the answer is simple: immigration – period! writes a third.

In other words, much of the response concerned religion, immigration, and Muslims.
This made Lysbakken react. He followed up with a new message a little over five hours later, referring to his original:
– You are so tired of a tweet like this getting a list of posts that are directed at Muslims in general, and not the extremists in question. This is how our common opportunity for sensible conversation through political points of view is destroyed, he writes.
A response similar to that of Lysbakken’s tweet can also be found in the Twitter messages posted by the Prime Minister. Erna solberg and labor leader Jonas Gahr Støre.
