Hege Storhaug’s questions below are on-point. Giske would do well to ponder them. But he won’t. He is the sort who will be congratulating himself on never having been “racist” as the jihadi blade starts slicing through his neck.
“Norwegian leftist MP: There is as much extremism in churches as in mosques,” Voice of Europe, April 19, 2020:
Trond Giske, a member of the Norwegian parliament for the Labour party, recently shocked the Norwegian public when he claimed that extremism and the oppression of gender equality were just as prevalent in Norwegian churches as they are in Norwegian mosques.
Last Tuesday, during a parliamentary debate on a newly proposed law called the Religious Society Act, Christian Tybring-Gjeddemember, a well-known Islam-critical MP and member of the Right-wing Fremskrittspartiet, and Trond Giske butted heads with one another on this issue of Islam in Norway, Document Norway reports.
While Tybring-Gjeddemember argued that Norwegian values and culture have become less relevant as a result of Islamic expansion into Norwegian society, Giske hit back, saying: “Yes, there are extreme Muslim religious beliefs, but there are Christian sects that refuse members to vote, there are Christian faiths that refuse gender equality, and there are Christian sects that refuse to accept divorce, etc. I believe we find this fanaticism and extremism in more religious communities than Islam.”
Islam-critical journalist Hege Storhaug writes on her blog that she wants to ask Trond Giske the following questions:
Do we have prayer houses that have terrorists as members? How many? Where are they?
Do we have prayer houses with slogans similar to the Muslim Brotherhood; “God is our purpose, the messenger is our leader, the Bible is our law, holy war is our way, death for the cause of God is our highest hope”?
Do we have prayer houses and priests who approve of marriages with children?
Do we have prayer houses that support and promote mutilating of girls’ genitals?
Do we have prayer houses that wants to reintroduce the Mosaic Law?…
