“The leader of a group against the Islamization of Norway was attacked by several men after setting fire to a copy of the Koran during a demonstration. Footage shows police intervening to stop the skirmish. A demonstration held by Stop Islamization of Norway (SIAN) in the city of Kristiansand turned violent after the group’s leader, Lars Thorsen, defied a police order against burning the holy Muslim book.”
Burning books is not a good practice to follow; better to read and refute them. But it has never been illegal in the West up to now. Western police are increasingly becoming slaves of the Sharia. Islam should not hold a place above all other religions in democratic states.
Marilyn Manson’s mosh pit Bible-burning performance led to no comparable violence and outrage; neither did a Ghanaian man who “was spotted in a viral video burning the Bible which according to him has no power like Christians claim.”
Christians would generally deem Manson and the Ghanaian to be either in need of prayer or ignore them altogether. No violence. No hurt feelings to the point of eliciting a violent or murderous response. But this Qur’an-burning incident in Norway led to violence, as it usually does whenever a Qur’an-burning happens or a Muhammad cartoon event takes place. Why? Because normative Islam preaches violence against those who blaspheme against Islam. Meanwhile, many Western “progressives” have taken to the defense of Islamic supremacy. Yet the Sharia is again and again proven to be incompatible with the freedoms that up to now have been guaranteed in Western societies.
“Norwegian anti-Islam rally turns violent over KORAN BURNING,” RT, November 19, 2019:
The leader of a group against the “Islamization” of Norway was attacked by several men after setting fire to a copy of the Koran during a demonstration. Footage shows police intervening to stop the skirmish.
A demonstration held by Stop Islamization of Norway (SIAN) in the city of Kristiansand turned violent after the group’s leader, Lars Thorsen, defied a police order against burning the holy Muslim book. The rally had been approved by local authorities, but police had warned SIAN against desecrating the Koran, after the group said it planned to do so.
Two copies of the religious text were thrown in a trash can during the rally, while Thorsen set fire to another one. The unsanctioned actions infuriated counter-protesters, who vaulted over a fence and attacked SIAN’s leader.
Video of the altercation shows Thorsen tossing away a burning Koran as an unidentified man charges at him. The man manages to grab Thorsen’s jacket, twisting him around. However, the assailant falls to the ground after attempting to kick the anti-Islam activist. Police then scramble to break up the fight as several other people rush at Thorsen.
Both Thorsen and his attackers were detained by police, according to media reports. In one video clip, Thorsen is led away by police with his hands behind his back, while his initial attacker is wrestled to the ground by a group of cops…..
