Norway Appoints Pakistani Muslim as Culture Minister

FrontPage Magazine

By  Daniel Greenfield

Apparently Norway has no culture of its own. Its new culture is the Hijab and the Koran.

On Sunday, with no precedent in Norwegian history, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg appointed Hadia Tajik, a 29-year-old Muslim woman, as minister of culture, making Tajik the youngest minister in the Norwegian Cabinet and the first ever Muslim in the Norwegian government.

The newly appointed minister of culture has already publicized her program for the upcoming months and highlighted that cultural diversity should become an undisputable part of Norway’s everyday life.
Tajik had worked as journalist before she was made advisor to Minister of Justice, Knut Storberget between 2008 and 1009. During her service under Storberget the ministry of justice decided to allow police women to wear the hijab in the service, but the decision was quickly withdrawn after intense criticism from conservative parties and members of the government coalition.

Oh yes. Absolutely indisputable.

Hadia Tajik wanted to participate in the pro-Hamas terrorist flotilla and made a show of wearing a terror-scarf Kefiyyah in the Norwegian parliament. One can only imagine what she will do as Culture Minister. More >>

Breivik: "I killed 77 but am not guilty"

By Ian Johnston, msnbc.com

Anti-Islam militant Anders Behring Breivik admitted he had killed 77 people in a massacre last July, but said he was pleading not guilty to the criminal charges against him on the first day of his trial in Norway Monday, The Associated Press reported.

As he arrived in court - the early part of the session was broadcast on television - Breivik gave a salute, raising his arm with his first clenched.

He said that he did not "acknowledge the authority of the court."

"I do not recognize the Norwegian courts. You have received your mandate from political parties which support multiculturalism. I do not acknowledge the authority of the court," Breivik said.He was asked to confirm details such as his date of birth and the judge then asked if he was unemployed.

"That is not correct. I am a writer and I work from prison," Breivik said.

A prosecutor then began reading the list of all 77 victims, describing how each was killed. More >>

Anders Behring Breivik held for further eight weeks

The confessed mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has been ordered to remain in custody for a further eight weeks during a closed court hearing, according to the judge

The 32-year-old has confessed to setting off a bomb in Oslo and shooting dead 69 at an island youth camp outside the city, killing 77 people in total on 22 July.

Oslo district court on Monday approved a police request to keep Breivik in custody on terror charges for another eight weeks – four of them in solitary confinement – as prosecutors prepare a formal indictment.

The judge, Anne Margrethe Lund, said she stopped Breivik "on a few occasions" when he tried to make statements during the hearing, his third since being arrested following the murders on Utøya island and in Oslo.

Why Anders Breivik Was Not and Could Not Have Been Radicalized by Robert Spencer or Pamela Geller

New Zeal Blog
Brilliant. Must view.
from Jihad Watch

David Wood of Answering Muslims has produced this extraordinary video, in which he examines Anders Breivik’s actual manifesto and finds that Breivik was plotting violence back in the 1990s, before I had published anything about Islam, and that the direct impetus for violence that Breivik himself cites was not me or Pamela Geller or any other anti-jihadist, but someone you will not expect.
This video hits back hard at the mainstream media and Islamic supremacist forces that are trying to use Breivik’s massacre to discredit and marginalize all resistance to the jihad and Islamic supremacism. And it’s funny, too.

Did Nowegian Mass Murderer Anders Breivik Undergo Military Training in Belarus?

New Zeal Blog

Every major news story coming out of the countries of the former Soviet Union should be viewed as possible deliberately crafted disinformation.
This highly inflammatory story should be treated with the utmost caution.
If it is true, or even partially true, it places a whole new significance on the Norwegian Massacre story.
From Russia’s Novosti

Norway’s twin terror suspect Anders Behring Breivik trained at a secret paramilitary field camp in Belarus earlier this year, a Belarusian opposition politician said on Thursday, citing security sources.
“Breivik visited Belarus several times. This spring, as part of his preparations for his twin attacks, he visited Minsk, where he underwent training at a secret paramilitary field camp,” Mikhail Reshetnikov, the head of the opposition Belarusian Party of Patriots, told the Gazeta.ru online newspaper.
He cited sources within Belarus’s “security organs.”
Breivik, 32, has admitted to carrying out a bombing in Oslo, which killed eight, and a mass shooting at a Labor Party youth camp on the nearby island of Utoya, which left 68 dead. He has not accepted criminal responsibility, however, saying his actions were “atrocious but necessary” measures intended to “save Norway and Western Europe” from a “Muslim takeover.”
Breivik mentioned in his online manifesto visiting Belarus to study the effects of fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The former Soviet republic’s state border agency has confirmed he was in Belarus from March 4 to March 11, 2005.
Reshetnikov also claimed Breivik had participated in “sabotage-terrorism drills” under a former Belarusian special service officer and that he had used a fake passport to enter Belarus.
“His codename in Belarus’s KGB was Viking,” he added. “Rumors say he also had a girlfriend in Belarus.”
“The theory that Belarus’ special forces were involved in training Anders Breivik seems, of course, far-fetched,” political expert Viktor Demidov was quoted by Gazeta.ru as saying.
“On the other hand, [Belarusian] President Alexander Lukashenko’s friendship with Muammar Gaddafi is no secret – neither is his fondness for Adolf Hitler.”

Norway is taking part in NATO operations in Libya and Gaddafi has threatened attacks against Europe.

There is no doubt that the massacre will be used to discredit anti-Marxist and anti Islamic forces – just as were Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh’s murderous crimes  back in the 1990s. Anders Breivik’s crimes have done far more to help radical Islam and the left, than the pro freedom forces he claims he wanted to help.
There is also no doubt that some of Europe’s more naive anti Islamists see Russia, Belarus, and Serbian elements as potential allies in the battle against the Islamization of Europe. Unfortunately, the opposite is actually the case.
Therefore, the possibility of East Bloc involvement should not be discounted out of hand.
Please do not treat this Novosti report as reliable. I post it as an interesting angle, possibly true, or partially true. No more than that.

‘Gentle Justice’ Meets Mass Murderer

by Neo-Neocon

Trond Berntsen [photo] was not only the stepbrother of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit. He was also an off-duty policeman and former amateur boxing champion who was working as a security guard on Utoya island that fateful day when Andres Behring Breivik, dressed as a policeman, blew away as many people as he possibly could — including Berntsen.
Berntsen was by all accounts a brave man who made a heroic effort to protect his charges. Alerted to the fact that Breivik was acting suspiciously, Berntsen was one of the first to encounter and confront the gunman, although not before Berntsen had managed to save his own 10-year-old son by pushing him to safety in some sheltering bushes. But even bravery is sometimes powerless to save a person facing a determined murderer who is armed — because Berntsen, the real policeman, was not.
This lack of defensive weaponry is only one of several puzzling and frustrating facts about the actions of the Norwegian authorities that day. Because Norway has one of the few police forces in the world forbidden to routinely carry firearms, an armed SWAT team was summoned to the island. But no helicopter was available to transport them, and as a result the potential defenders were forced to travel the 28 miles by road and then to commander a boat that took on water because it could not handle their heavy equipment. Extremely precious time was lost.
But that was not all. The government buildings targeted in the initial bombing had light security, despite the fact that the offices of the Norwegian prime minister and his administration are located there. And it seems outrageous that the longest prison term mass murderer Breivik could receive is 21 years, no matter how many people he killed. Even if he were to be convicted of crimes against humanity, the maximum sentence would only be 30 years, although there is a provision in Norwegian law for imprisonment to be extended for a series of 5-year periods if it were determined that Breivik remained dangerous.
To us in this country it seems nearly preposterous that a nation could function with a police force and a penal system with so few teeth. But until now, it did not seem so strange to most Norwegians. Their kinder, gentler system of law and order was a pleasant philosophical choice that had cost them very little, and of which they were quite proud. In a largely homogeneous country, and with a long tradition of an orderly and law-abiding citizenry, things had mostly gone well since the death penalty had been abolished in 1902 for peacetime use and for wartime use in 1979.
This 2010 article about Norwegian prisons is enough to make one weep with envy of the prisoners. Wide-screen TVs in each IKEA-esque room, scenic bucolic settings, guards without guns. As Charles Lane, who calls the system “gentle justice,” writes, “The Norwegian Correctional Service’s Website makes no mention of punishment, but does refer to ‘services’ to which inmates are ‘entitled.’”
But note the tiny number of convicts, just 3,300 in a country of about 5 million inhabitants. Lane quotes a prison warden in Norway as saying, “If you treat people badly, they will behave badly. Anyone can be a citizen if we treat them well, respect them, and give them challenges and demands.”

The 5 Biggest Lies Told about Oslo Shooter Anders Breivik

5. We Can Blame Breivik’s Violence on Being Abandoned by His Father.
Many male children survive being abandoned by their fathers very well. Some do not. Norway’s Anders Breivik shares a startling similarity to Australia’s Julian Assange. The two men possess a paranoid worldview and the capacity to exact vengeance. They both have “problems with authority,” to put it mildly.
But there is something else they share. When both men were one-year-olds, their biological fathers left. In Assange’s case, he had a stepfather until he was eight years old, followed by a second stepfather. When he was eleven years old, Assange and his half-brother began living in hiding and on the run with their biological mother. This lasted for five years as part of a custody battle.
In Breivik’s case, his father, Jens Breivik, an elite Norwegian diplomat (!!!), left when he was one year old. He rarely saw Anders, and when Anders thereafter tried to meet with him, his biological father rebuffed him.
One really cannot diagnose from afar and yet some (not all) father-wounded sons, which is something I wrote about in my book About Men, scapegoat women because they are angry at the fathers who have abandoned them. Assange has been accused of being sexually violent towards women. Some father-wounded sons are close to their mothers (as Breivik clearly may be), but inside they are at war with themselves. They struggle with repressed homosexual desire which is really a desire to be close to a loving and protective father and to be a “man.” Some father-wounded sons may also super-identify with concepts of collective male strength, e.g., with Knights Templar, etc. precisely because they have no strong identification with their own fathers.

Breivik is overly concerned with “masculinity,” with what he views negatively as the feminist influence — even takeover — of Norway. He wants strong macho men to be the ones to fight off Muslim-on-infidel rapists and does not view women as capable of defending themselves. He views women as too peaceful and submissive to fight real wars. (I wish women were so peaceful). Further, he blames feminism for making men too weak to fight wars as well.

Oslo Terror Attacks: Leaky Police Boat Slowed Access To Utoya Island

OSLO (Reuters) - The near-sinking of a police boat and a decision to await a specially armed unit from Oslo some 45 km (28 miles) away delayed the Norwegian police response to an island where a gunman killed 86 people.
"When so many people and equipment were put into it, the boat started to take on water, so that the motor stopped," said Erik Berga, police operations chief in northern Buskerud County.
"The boat was way too small and way too poor," he said, referring to a police vessel that had been transported to the scene from nearby Hoenefoss for crossing to Utoeya island.
The shooter, 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik, went about his deadly work undisturbed by police for an hour after the first reports of gunfire, other police officials said Sunday, revising a previous estimate of almost 90 minutes.
Sissel Hammer, the police chief in Hoenefoss, said she understood why critics "think it took too long for the police to come" but said they had moved as quickly as possible.
"I ask for understanding of the fact that it takes time to send out a special armed force," Hammer said in a statement.

Why Would a “Right-Wing Nationalist” Massacre Young, Predominantly White Norwegians?

Sky News
Saturday, July 23, 2011
Comment: Why would a “right-wing extremist” who calls himself a nationalist and hates Muslims choose to massacre scores of young, predominantly white, Norwegian youths? Why not attack a mosque?
Police have said a Norwegian man arrested after the twin attacks in Norway is a right-winger with anti-Muslim views, but they do not know whether that was a factor in the attacks.
Police are continuing to question the 32-year-old – named by Norwegian television as Anders Behring Breivik – after he was detained on Friday evening in connection with the attacks.
National police chief Sveinung Sponheim said internet postings by the suspected gunman “suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen”.
Norway’s TV2 channel claimed Breivik has links to “right-wing extremists” and possessed two weapons registered in his name.

What the Norway Attack Could Mean for Europe/ STRATFOR

STRATFOR 

July 22, 2011

At least 17 people have died and more have been injured in an explosion in downtown Oslo and a shooting at a Labor Party youth camp outside the Norwegian capital. Norwegian police arrested the shooter at the camp and believe he is connected with the explosion, though others could be involved.

The significance of the events in Norway for the rest of Europe will depend largely on who is responsible, and the identity of the culprits is still unclear. However, STRATFOR can extrapolate the possible consequences of the attacks based on several scenarios.



The first scenario is that grassroots Islamist militants based in Norway are behind these seemingly connected attacks. Grassroots jihadist groups are already assumed to exist across Europe, and this assumption — along with previous attacks — has bolstered far-right political parties' popularity across the Continent. Many center-right politicians have also begun raising anti-immigrant policy issues in order to distract from the ongoing economic austerity measures brought about by the European economic crisis. If grassroots Islamist militants are found to be the culprits in Norway, it will simply reinforce the current European political trend that favors the far right. That said, some far-right parties, particularly in Northern Europe, could get a popularity boost sufficient to push them into the political mainstream, and possibly into government.



If an individual, grassroots or organized domestic group with far-right or neo-Nazi leanings perpetrated the attack, the significance for the rest of Europe will not be large. It could lead to a temporary loss of popularity for the far right, but long-term repercussions for the far right are unlikely since these parties have begun tempering their platforms in order to attract a wider constituency.

There is also the possibility that the attacks are the work of a skilled but disturbed individual with grievances against the Labor Party. This possibility would have few long-ranging repercussions beyond a reworking of domestic security procedures in Norway.

Another scenario is that the attack was carried out by an international group which may have entered the country some time ago. Regardless of the time frame, if the culprits crossed a border to get into Norway, other European countries will feel very vulnerable; Norway is Europe's northern terminus, and if international militants can get to Norway, they can get to anywhere in Europe. This vulnerability could severely damage the Schengen Agreement, once a symbolic pillar of Europe's unity, which has been under attack in the last several months. The agreement allows visa-free travel between the 25 countries in the Schengen Area (most of which are EU members, but the Schengen Area does include some non-EU members like Norway and Switzerland). The agreement came under pressure when Italy threatened to allow migrants fleeing the Libyan conflict and Tunisian political unrest to gain temporary resident status in order to cross into France. It was Rome's way of forcing the rest of Europe to help it with the influx of migrants. The solution proposed by France and Italy was to essentially establish temporary borders "under very exceptional circumstances." Later, Denmark reimposed border controls, supposedly due to an increase in cross-border crime.

The attack in Norway, if it involved cross-border movements, could therefore damage or even end the Schengen Agreement. Other European countries, particularly those where the far right is strong or where center-right parties have adopted an anti-immigrant message, could push for further amendments to the pact.

A transnational militant plot against a European country in the contemporary context could also be significant for European defense policy. When the 2004 Madrid attack and 2005 London attack happened, many in Europe argued that the attacks were a result of European governments' support for U.S. military operations in the Middle East. This is no longer really the case for Europe, although European forces are still in Afghanistan. It is much more difficult to blame Europe's alliance with the United States for this attack. As such, Europe could very well be motivated to take ongoing efforts to increase European defense coordination seriously. Current efforts are being led by Poland, which is doing so mainly because it wants to increase security against Russia's resurgence, not because of global militancy. The problem with Warsaw's plan is that it has little genuine support in Western Europe, other than France. An attack on Norway could, however, provide the kind of impetus necessary for Europe to feel threatened by global events.

The last scenario is that the attack is linked to Norway's involvement in the campaign in Libya. If the Libyan government is somehow connected to the bombing and/or shooting, the rest of Europe will rally behind Norway and increase their efforts in Libya. This scenario would essentially close off the opening in negotiations prompted by a recent move by Paris and other European governments saying they would be open to Moammar Gadhafi's remaining in Libya.

Oslo Car Fires Highlight Threat to Norway's Future

by Bruce Bawer
Taken together, two seemingly unrelated news stories from Norway paint a grim picture of that city’s future.
First, you need to know that Oslo is a sprawling, low-lying city, more of a small-scale Los Angeles than a small-scale New York.  Out on its eastern flank is a large valley called Groruddalen which, a few years ago, was a sleepy mishmash of industry and suburban apartment blocks.  It is now quickly becoming an urban center all its own.  It is said that if current trends continue, Groruddalen will, within a couple of decades, dwarf downtown Oslo itself as a population center.
One not-so-little detail: the reason for Groruddalen’s rapid growth is that it is a destination for new Muslim immigrants.  Groruddalen is, in short, a Muslim enclave in the making.
This is a first for Oslo.  Other cities in Europe already have Muslim enclaves — neighborhoods that are “no-go” areas for non-Muslims and that Muslim leaders consider autonomous or semi-autonomous territories, subject to sharia law and to the dictates of local imams.  In these areas, young men terrorize police officers or firefighters or ambulance workers who dare to cross into their territory.  Sharia dress codes are strictly enforced.  And cars are set on fire.
Until recently, by the strictest definition, Oslo hasn’t really had a Muslim enclave.  Yes, it has neighborhoods — Grønland, Tøyen — that are heavily Muslim.  There are parts of these neighborhoods where you wouldn’t want to venture at night, or perhaps even in the day.  And even in broad daylight, on a crowded major artery, a gay couple, say, would be well advised not to walk hand-in-hand.  But until recently, as I say, Oslo hasn’t had anything you could unequivocally call a “no-go” area.

Toda Noruega se halla en estado de choque

Ni siquiera durante la II Guerra Mundial había ocurrido algo así en Oslo.

50 mil manifestantes islámicos se lanzaron a la calle, lanzando bombas molotov, atacando a los noruegos, convirtieron todo el centro de Oslo en un mar de llamas!
La policía reaccionó -se formó la mayor batalla en la historia de Noruega! Recuerden: Noruega ha dado miles de millones de dólares al PLO (Organización para la Liberación de Palestina). Noruega ha hecho todo lo posible para apoyar al PLO y Hamas.
. Después de que Noruega apoyara con varios Planes Marshall no sólo al PLO,  Noruega recibe hoy su "propia medicina"  ya que esto demuestra que los pueblos islamicos solo ansian que Occidente los ayude... para luego ellos poder imponerles su religion y sus leyes.
El país tiene ya un 20% de población islámica sólo en 10 años, pero esa población Islámica se come el 70% de todo el presupuesto social.

Para colmo, los pueblso islamicos son  en extremo violentos, no integrados, odian a la sociedad occidental y sus costumbres, casi todos los prisioneros en las cárceles son islámicos jóvenes.
Detestan a la sociedad occidental, detestan  que sus mujeres asistan a las Universidades y vistan ropas livianas, faltas cortas o no usen vestidos largos y negros y velo para cubrir sus rostros.
Como agradecimiento a la ayuda que les ha brindado Naruega, ayer fue la primera gran batalla del Islam contra la sociedad Noruega que tambien es el primer movimiento contra la cultura occidental.
Todo Oslo esta aterrorizado en este momento, en estado de choque. Los socialistas, ante la furia de los Islámicos, temblando, acaban de dar 30 millones a Hamas, para calmarlos! Estúpidos europeos... dando dinero a los islamicos que solo quieren destruir su cultura y dominarlos para imponer su religion y sus leyes. La cosa está que arde en Oslo ahora mismo: vean las fotos de ayer noche, esto es sólo el comienzo...!

 
RECUERDEN: todos estos islámicos en Noruega viven de planes sociales, no trabajan, roban, atacan a las mujeres, amenazan a toda la población, crean el terror y son gran número ya.
Están armados con ametralladoras, bombas molotov, adoctrinados en sus cientos de mezquitas por imanes islámicos traídos de Irán, Egipto, son lanzados a la Guerra Santa contra Occidente.
Uno de esos imanes dió orden de matar a todas las noruegas acusándolas de prostitutas e infieles por no usar el velo!

El número de violaciones contra Noruegas por emigrantes Islámicos ha aumentado en un año en 4000 %. Pegan a las mujeres en plena calle, a la salida de las discotecas.
Los gobiernos socialistas han desmantelado la policía, y los jueces humanistas no defienden a los noruegos, no defienden a las víctimas, defienden a los agresores!!
