Bassam Hussein is a Muslim Arab who teaches at a Norwegian university. He delivered a lecture on April 21 in which he described the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 as “the most beautiful thing that has happened in our century.” This “most beautiful thing” included the mass rapes, tortures, mutilations, and murders of 1,200 Israelis and others. As part of this “most beautiful thing,” Hamas members tied family members together with wire and burned them alive; they stabbed babies to death; its “fighters” not only raped girls, but then stuck knives in their vaginas; they sliced off the breasts of women; they cut off the genitals of men; they gouged out the eyes of both men and women before killing them. But Bassam Hussein, who teaches in Norway, insists those attacks were “the most beautiful thing that has happened in our century.”
More on his view, and how his university responded, can be found here: “Norwegian university professor: October 7 attacks ‘most beautiful thing to happen in our century,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, May 3, 2026:
A Norwegian university professor called the October 7 Hamas attacks “the most beautiful thing that has happened in our century.”
Bassam Hussein, a project management professor at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, made the comments during an April 21 lecture organized by the Socialist Forum.
During his section about conflict in the Middle East, Hussein called October 7 “the most beautiful thing that has happened in our century,” adding that it revealed, “there is no such thing as Israeli superiority.”
“Israel sold Jewish immigrants an idea. A kind of five-star settler life there. They told Jewish immigrants: come to us. Here you will get the finest life. You will get a home, a house, an apartment, a car, a job financed by Americans. And the only thing you have to do is serve in the army for 18 months. And that’s it. Then you can go and live. You can also have citizenship and everything. This is paradise. October 7 proved that this is not true at all.
Hussein has a bizarre view of why Jews move to Israel. Not because they want to lead a Jewish life, he thinks, nor because they are fleeing antisemitism, nor because they want to take part in building a Jewish commonwealth, and in defending its existence, but for the free housing he thinks they receive. After all, he knows that the main reason Muslims move to Europe is to receive all the benefits that that they can obtain from the generous welfare states of the continent; he assumes that Jews move to Israel for the same reasons. Furthermore, Israelis do not serve in the army for only 18 months and then are done with military duty, as Bassam Hussein thinks. The men serve for 30-32 months (for males) and 24 months (for females). And beyond that, Israeli men must also serve as reservists for two months each year until the age of 40.
October 7 showed that no matter how strong you are, you still have vulnerabilities. And an intelligent, smart Palestinian military leader with 400 people can actually hurt them badly. So Israel became like a kind of dragon, a huge dragon spitting fire in all directions, that got a needle in its backside. That’s it. A needle in the backside.”
There was no one “military leader” leading the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Yahya Sinwar, the main architect of the attack, did not take part in it, but remained underground in a tunnel in Gaza. Six thousand Hamas combatants, not “400 people,” launched their surprise attack on civilians at a dance party and in their homes in border kibbutzim. And by the evening of October 7, the IDF had already began to launch a massive counterattack, with Israelis showing amazing powers of resilience and resolve, and Israel’s response continued over more than two years of fighting, in order to dismantle Hamas as a fighting force, killing at least 40,000 of its combatants, destroying almost all of its weaponry, and forcing what remains of the terror group to move into less than half of Gaza, while Israel remains in firm control of all the rest.

Bassam Hussein is a Muslim Arab who teaches at a Norwegian university. The Norwegians are that stupid as they are actually paying a muhammadist because the University has a socialist chapter is insane.
This puke of a human being should be subjected to the rape, genital removal, eye removal via fire and then tell everyone what a wonderful thing has been done to him.

Is Mossad taking applications from gentiles? Dealing with fks like this would be very satisfying as a vocation.

Nothing happened to the professor. According to the principal he just engaged in free speech.

Paramount in realization here is not the utter hideousness of this “Muslim Professor in Norway” lauding what happened on October 7th, 2023 in Israel, awful as it is, but rather that he is most definitely a very good and devout Muslim. Goodness, after all, by Islamic standards is so very often comparable to Bizarro World in the Superman comics (though far more seriously disturbing because real) and devotion by Muslims to the highly warped creed which is Islam speaks for itself about the dearth of common sense and moral intelligence such deluded people have.
Many Muslims are simply wicked precisely because of their horrible faith. All willing Muslims, even the most ignorant of their faith or the most lazy, are confused human beings—not one damn exception.

To my mind, a Jew can be a good person insofar as he follows the core decent teachings of Judaism.
By the same token, a Christian can be a good person insofar as he follows the fundamental decent teachings of his religion, which centers around Jesus.
Islam differs in that a Muslim can only be a good person (and there are such people) by NOT following the core teachings of his religion or of its foul founder, Muhammed.
And that is what makes all the difference.
Wellington says
Strongly seconded and why Islam is an absolute menace to the West—and, as an aside, the Islamic world minus the many achievements of the West, especially its technological achievements, would still be a nothing sphere of mankind (and which it still pretty much is).
What? Does any serious person think that minus Western technology the Islamic world would have figured out on its own how to build, develop or invent railroads, the telegraph, phones, radio, TV, planes, satellites, computers, et al.? Anyone averring such wouldn’t even pass the laugh test.
But then there is the even more non-development by the Islamic world and that is the releasing force of freedom. Precisely what made the West the greatest civilization of all time, and above all other factors, is liberty—and Islam knows nothing of true liberty though it will use liberty to destroy liberty. It’s doing it now in the West and why this is one of many reasons why I despise Islam to the core of its totally warped existence because it is one gigantic parasite.
Islam contributes nothing. But it takes, takes and takes. Nothing could be, should be, clearer.

News flash, scummy terrorist: Jews are superior to you and your *kind.* In every way that matters.
Superior morals, ethics, mindset, values, humanity, laws, social behavior, work history, ….in all the ways that matter, from ancient times until now.
The murderous thug, hideously ugly inside and out, will get everything he rightly has coming.
Walter Sieruk says
Those terrorists of Hamas with much horrific evil malicious jihad -filled hate on October 7th 2023 invaded Israel October 7th 2023 and committed many horrendous atrocities are vile , heinous murderous Muslim monsters.
Hamas and its Musim terrorists are an horrendous affront to everything that is good, right denent ethical moral , peaceful and of worth and value,
Those Muslims of Hamas do nothing praiseworthy , all do is commit is murder , destroy kidnap commit sex affronts ans inflict demonic torture of the people who the had kidnapped.
That jihad entity ,Hamas , and its Muslim terrorists are an outright abomination.
Walter Sieruk says
The Muslim terrorists of with their malicious jihad terrorism ,never ever create made or construct anything of worth or value .. Instead they destroy, that they destroy not only building but go further and with much malice they destroy human lives.
The bloodthirsty savages of Hamas, viciously inflect misery suffering death and destruction , they are totally evil.
Furthermore, those Hamas terrorists are not even original ,such wicked characters , as them go back in history as faras to ancient times. As described in that ancient book , the Bible , it reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood;; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known,” Romans 3: 15-17. [N.K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
That statement by that Muslim Bassam Hussein was outrageously wicked and wrong, to put it mildly. For on October 7th 2023 those young people at that music festival who had been murdered in that Hamas jihad attacks in no way deserved what happened to them.
In contrast, what really was a good thing was killing of that brutal cruel death inflecting tyrant Ayatollah Khamenei , that fiendish villain deserve death. Now Khamenei is trapped with no hope of escape and severely suffering in the fires of hell
For truthful amusement, there is an entertaining video that may be found on YouTube.com it’s entitled “Ali Khamenei Arrives in Hell – Brutal Interview with Demon Admission Officer”
Tim gallagher says
I’m sure that many Muslims feel the same as this Muslim sack of shit. Satanically evil islam produces endless evil scum of earth like this piece of shit. Letting such evil scumbags into our countries is the dumbest move in human history.

First the celebrate or praise Hamas in any way or form is worse than sick and having a terribly warped worldview . It’s outright evil.
Second, that hostile and menacing tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran, which as the official title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran.” has even been a Hamas supporter and supplier of deadly weapons to the jihad terror/murder entity.. Therefore , it has its sinister Islamic hand in encouraging that horrendously
evil Hamas invasion and jihad attacks in Israel on October 7th 2023.
Third, the religious doctrine, that is aggressive and combative. of that regime of Iran ,which is Islam certainly makes genuine peace impossible . For Islam’s doctrine of violence and killing for the cause of the advancement of Islam is Quran based As found in ,for example Surah 2:191. 4:89.. 5:33. 9:5, 111,112 ,123. 47:4.
Furthermore, it should be made known that if the founder of the current Islamic tyranny, Ayatollah Khomeini would still be alive today, he would spit on those Westerners who say that “Islam is a non-violent religion.”
If Ayatollah Khomeini had clearly announced that “Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….There are hundreds psalms and hadiths urging of Muslims to value war and to fight. …I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1] So if he was alive today who would spit on those Westerners who say that “Islam is a non-violent religion.” [1]
