Norway: Right-wing politicians want to ban Islam

Central members of Kristiansand Progress party (Frp) claims Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and the Koran are one of the same, and they want Islam banned in Norway.

“It is about high time Norway and Europe make the ideology Islam and the practice of this, illegal and punishable in the same way as Nazism,” said Karina Udnaes, deputy leader of the Progress party’s city council group in Kristiansand.

Halvor Hulaas, chairperson in Krstiansand Frp, says: “The religion as it is practiced is a threat against our social system and way of life.”
He goes on to say that Kristiansand now lives under the threat of getting a large mosque in town.

Now what the hell is that?!

  1. In this stupid illogical time, nothing really surprises me. Islam is Nazism, Terrorism, and everything they feel like claiming, and then they say Muslims are racists and unfair!
    This is the stupidest most pathetic thing I’ve heard!

  2. In the late 80’s in a Kuwaiti newspaper, there was a big article about the European Community, and in this article, a main reason behind the forming of the it was to fight and kill the “sleeping giant” which in this case is Islam.
    Some people still say that it is a conspiracy theaory, but I would dismiss that. We should wake up and face the facts.

    – There is no democracy anywhere in the world
    – Secular means non-Islamic (Christmas is still being celebrated in ALL “secular” countries)
    – Terrorism is associated to Islam ONLY
    – If you are a Muslim or an Arab, you are a time bomb, and should be stopped, even if you have a non-Arab passport
    – There is not one Islamic gouvernment anywhere in the world, we have Mulisms here and there, but not an Islamic system! And yes, that includes Saudi Arabia, it doesn’t have an Islamic gouvernment either.
    – ….
    – ….
    – ….
    – ….
    – The list is long

    As the late Ghassan Kanafani once said, “Wake up Arabs! It is time to sleep”.

  3. Salam
    No wonder because simply Islam is the only rival left against capitalism,maybe lack the military power, yet it’s the main and maybe only power that can bring Arabs and Muslims together again.
    to make things even worse,they make such announcements in an academic way (for instance,Samuel Huntington’s clash of civilization)
    dear Saqf, I think that was Ahmad Matar who said that
    Peace and Love

  4. the fact is that Islam as a religion is a dangerous sect. I am sure many people in that religion including the ones posting here are lovely people. However its teachings of hating christains and victory by war an intolerance is one that belongs in the dark ages. And please don’t tell me that it doesn’t promote this. Anyone well versed in its writings well knows the truth and the spin doctors that try to tell you otherwise are kidding those who don’t know its words.
    God is love. He doesn’t posses that quality he IS love. This word is the most important word in our language YET can you believe that it does not occur NOT EVEN ONCE in the Koran. I’m not interested that it is indirectly reffered to , a word of such importance doesn’t appear in the Koran. That is amasing.

    Please remember that here i am not speaking about the people in this religion , but rather the principals upon which it is based. Many people in all religions are good and bad.

    Without going into too many details but a passing point. How can you accept a religion that says if you divorce your wife you must get her to sleep with someone else before you remary.
    Are you kidding man. Open your eyes, its principals are dangerous.
    In actual fact my opinion here would not get a hearing in any Islamic country . Weather they are right or just silly i would disappear like many others.
    Look i am just a regular guy in Australia, I have no agenda and this is just my opinion. I hope no one is insulted by my opinion.
    Mo

  5. first of all, for people who don’t know, there are 2 Mo’s who posted comments here. They’re not the same person.

    So, to the second mo.
    You’ve totally got Islam all wrong then.
    Islam never urged anyone to hate Christians or Jews, in fact the opposite, it told us to treat them well like our brothers and try to live in peace with them.
    But if they start a war on us, Islam tells us to defend ourselves.
    What you and others read in the Koran shouldn’t be taken out of context. Understand what the story behind it is and then think about it and talk.
    Just like the Bible or the Torah detail the events of wars and tells the people living at that certain time what to do facing their circumstances and problems, the Koran did the same.
    It’s all in a context that existed back then so don’t take it out of place.

    As for the divorce thing. The woman has to marry another man before she can remarry her husband again only if she has been divorced 4 times by the same husband before.
    Now, marriage is not a game, in which a couple keep divorcing and remarrying. You have to agree that 4 times is too many times to be divorced and remarried.
    And as a man would certainly hate to have his wife married to another man, he would think twice about divorcing her if he knows he’ll want her back.
    This rule not only displays the sacredness of marriage and that it shouldn’t be a game that is taken lightly, it also protects the woman from her husband playing around with her divorcing her and remarrying her as he pleases.
    It gives the woman more dignity and respect.

    As for Love. Well I don’t where you got the information from but it’s totally wrong. The word and verb Love figure so many times in the Koran.
    So please, check your facts before you make such claims.

  6. To Ahmad:
    Thanks for the correction, I wasn’t sure when I posted it, and tried to look it up in some of Kanafani’s sites, but didn’t find it and I just wanted to post it. Yes it was Ahmad Matar’s quote.

    To MMM:
    Thanks for replying to 2nd “mo”.

    To 2nd mo:
    Please read more about Islam with a “loving” spirit and you will get a lot of answers yourself, and don’t turn to any “Spin Doctor”. You will get the proper teaching no matter how educated you are.

  7. Just checking: I don’t know if your Trackback is wonky or what, but I’ve just got a second ping from you with no link here. Being something less than a technological genius, I have no idea what that means, but just thought I’d pass it along, fyi. I do appreciate the ping, of course. Cheers.

  8. I really appreciate your polite answer.
    Can you tell me for my records several places in the Koran where “Love” appears.
    Thanks a lot guys

  9. I am a Norwegian American and I am saddened by the rascist stance of the KP party.

    Islam is a religion of peace. yes it does have some extremasts, but so does every other religion. even Buddhism, as I type this the Buddhist government of Thailand is Murdering Muslims.

    there is all this talk of “Islamic Terror” what exactly is Islamic Terror? Adolf Hitler killed 12million in the name of Christianity, we Americans killed 25million native Americans in the name of Christianity, would it be fair to start talking of Christian terror?

    lets be tollerant people.

  10. Islam Is not compatible with liberty and freedom It was nauseating to have found this out. Im still angry at being lied to.
    Once you know about Islam you get over your queasiness, you can never stop speaking out against Islam .
    I do so & I hope I would have done the same against the Nazis .
    For those whose first reaction is to jump to the defense of Islam .
    That is natural and right .
    It is anathema to rational thought to ignorantly attack someone

  11. Why islam is turth religion with scientific miracles?

    1- The Qu’ran is an untouchable book : After 1400 years, from the begining of Prophet Muhammad’s, peace be upon him, message, the Qu’ran has not changed in any way, even as a matter of one charachter. Prooving this is very easy, since you can compare all the versions of the Qu’ran everywhere in the world and you will find them all the same. God ensured that this book would be saved from any changes attempted by human beings. God said in the Qur’an : ” We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption)”

    2- The Qu’ran contains many scientific facts that have been discovered recently using computer systems and microscopes. Many scientists have attended conferences dealing with this subject and have themselves accepted Islam. These same scientists have said that it is not possible that Muhammad, peace be upon him, an illiterate man, who lived 1400 years ago, could have discovered such things on his own. God said in the Qur’an : “Soon will We show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things” ( Quran 41:53 )
    For more information about this topic please visit : http://www.it-is-truth.org/

    3- The Qu’ran, which is in Arabic, was revealed to the people of the Arabian Gulf who invented the Arabic language. Through Muhammad, peace be upon him, Allah challenged the people who claimed that a human wrote it to emulate such a book. No one from the time of the Prophet till now could write a book that contained the many scientific facts, miracles and similar effects on people that the Qu’ran did and still does today.

    4- The Qu’ran had not one Arabic grammar mistake, which was recognized by the disbelievers at the time of the Prophet, who were the founders of the Arabic language.

    These are a few examples of why Muslims believe in the Qur’an.

    Here are some verses from God to Muslims encouraging them to invite the People of the Book ( Jews and Christians to Islam ):

    God said : {Say: “O People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?} (Quran 3:98)

    God tell Muslims to say : {..’We believe in that which had been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and unto Him we surrender} (Quran 29:46)

  12. Islam teaches of love. That’s what we keep hearing about.
    – Funny then that we keep hearing about videos where muslims are beheading aid workers.
    – We are hearing about muslims blowing up buildings and killing people.
    ? In the name of love then?

  13. Koran 8:12) “Remember Thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the believers, I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them.” 2. (Koran 2:216) “Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, you knew not.”
    IX/5: Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor- due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

    So, is Osama an extremist or true follower of Islam? It appears that all what he and his friends do is well justified by Koran. So it is Koran what is the terrorist manual #1 and Mohamed is the terrorist #1, against whom Americans should fight.

  14. Regardless, you cannot go around criticizing people’s faiths mostly when they, themselves, did nothing wrong. You don’t ban a religion, what the hell is wrong with you guys? Justifying why it is okay to ban a religion that good citizens practice is something that’s absolutely mind-boggling.

    It’s like saying, I think we should ban Catholicism. All these damn priests are molesting little boys. The Bible might not be saying molesting boys is okay, but by making it so that priests can’t screw induces them to foddle innocent boys. And you all know that it’s not just one, two, or three cases. There’s a nice pattern to this. So although these priests are not killing, molesting boys shouldn’t be condoned. And seeing that these Catholic men with high titles are performing such acts, I say Catholicism should be banned.

  15. Trishti and Humanist, what you’re doing here with these verses is taking them out of context and using news words to replace the original words.
    That’s wrong.

    The Quran has many verses that instructed muslims on what they should do in certain situations where they were put in danger back then, and those verses only apply to those situations.

    For you or anyone else to take them out of context is wrong because they no longer have any reason.

    For example, when you know the context is that that the muslims were under attack and were going to be exterminated for no real reason except their beliefs, and you see that the Quran tells them to be strong and to fight for themselves and strike the ones who are trying to kill them; that is different from just reading a verse and thinking that it means they should kill anyone, anywhere, anytime.

    So before making stupid and baseless conclusions about a whole religion and people, please at least take the time to understand what the whole context and idea is!

  16. Muslims cling to retrogression with unearthly passion. They fear progression and evolution because it threatens their patriarchal societies.

  17. Good on you Norway, you have guts to say this,we in this country (aust down under )would be in court in a flash, thanks to the muslims here,about 15% of 20,000000 this time next year or the year after there will be some in govermment
    then we can kiss goodbye to this great land of ours….Keep pushing norway , regards Ashley.

  18. I whole heartedly agree. All Muslims want the over throw of any foreign government so they could set up a Caliphate. So called peace loving Muslims in the USA have already stated such. Our constitution forbids anyone who wants to overthrow the government.
