(0)Has Al-Qaeda hired the Monty Python team as political advisers? I only ask because of this surreal outburst:
O Muslims, take matters firmly against the embassies of America, England, Australia, and Norway and their interests, companies, and employees.
Let's get this straight; they're invoking Muslims to attack America (natch), England (obviously), Australia (not unexpected) and... Norway?!?!?!?!?!?
might be a mistake. a very ugly mistake. and a funny one too.

Its not a mistake.
They are a massive oil exporter outside muslim/arab/OPEC control.
They had a substantial role in Afganistan within
nato.

But why, the Norwegians love the "religion of peace." So much so that they allow their islamic citizens to rape other citizens because it is the cultural norm for them to do so. The Norwegians don't even protect their menatlly retarded citizens from Islamic rapists. Why attack Norway, hell, they've already surrendered.

maybe it was a code? like thy could have said "england america and australia" and it would have meant "go for it on plan B".

I think the guys over at Al-Q meant the Danes. The
Norwegians may have played significant roles (as
mentioned above), but the Danish role is equally
significant and more publicized.
Those snow niggers all look the same anyway.

The world map according to the Koran is a wee bit out of whack; those madrassas have an old, torn, map for pointing out targets. Blame their state-sponsored education system, if you must assign blame.

I think PaulP is on the right track. I seem to remember Norwegian F-16's participating in bombing raids on Taliban/Al-Quaeda targets in Afghanistan.

Rhetoric? Could it be the western world is all Franks and Norsemen to someone ostentatiously adopting a mediaeval arabic viewpoint?

... and no doubt Estonia is miffed at having been ignored.
