Is it safe to travel to Norway

Hi, I am from Iran. I'm hoping to travel to Norway in Aug. My friends think I have gone crazy! they do not want me to go, and think its not safe. I have heard that suicide-bombers are all around the city and it's not safe to go for a walk in the streets alone. Is it something that happens everyday or is it just the media making it sound alot worse than what it is?

To be honest not many people I know, know much about Norway and the first reaction to my decision is No Way! I think Norway is not what everyone perceives it to be. I do not believe everything I read in the media but I'm a little apprehensive about taking this trip. Any advice or tips from anyone who has been recently to Norway would be greatly appreciated!
