The story below translates “Allahu akbar” as “Allah is greatest.” It’s actually “Allah is greater,” that is, greater than your God. Norwegian authorities should ponder the question of whether such a declaration is really compatible with loyalty to the Norwegian state and military. But they won’t.
“Norwegian defense advertisement: Muslim prayer with ‘Allahu akbar,'” translated from “Norska försvarets reklam: Muslimsk bön med ‘Allahu akbar,'” Fria Tider, June 22, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In a new commercial from the Norwegian Defense Forces, a Muslim soldier is shown praying to Allah – something that is sparking debate.
“It’s about showing that the armed forces need diversity,” says Gry Bohne Hauge at the Norwegian Defense Forces.
Both the Norwegian flag and the Islamic crescent are visible on the soldier’s uniform.
“Allah is greatest,” says the soldier in the film.
The same campaign video also features a flirting gay couple and a man holding a baby – among other things.
Gry Bohne Hauge, head of marketing and society within the Norwegian Defense Forces, defends the cultural Marxist approach.
“When we highlight love and faith, it is because these are fundamental rights and values that the armed forces must protect for everyone who lives in Norway,” she tells Kampanje.
She also states that the defense wants to show that they are looking for personnel with different backgrounds.
“It’s about showing that the armed forces need diversity and must be a good place to work, regardless of who you are, who you love or what you believe in,” says Gry Bohne Hauge.
The recruitment film has received harsh criticism on social media. Journalist Espen Teigen at the conservative Document writes in an X post that the campaign goes against Norwegian tradition.
“Now that’s enough. Activists within the Armed Forces spit on our ancestors, our culture and our history. ‘Allahu akbar’ and Islam are not part of the Norway we defend. This is not what our ancestors sacrificed their lives for. Islam is the very opposite of our values,” Teigen writes.

Vidkun Quisling is smiling from his grave. The Norwegian government has found a new Nazi-like enemy with whom they can collaborate. The Hilfswillige Norwegian govt. in WWII, sent as many as 4500 volunteers to fight with the Wehrmacht. Some may consider it worse now – that Norway has voluntarily admitted thousands of Islamist, jihadi migrants to the country and plans to arm them and give them military training.

And how are those areas of Norway that are dangerous for non muslims to walk within…. how’s that figure into the thinking.

My God, what will it take for Western nations like Norway to realize that Islam and its deluded followers want, effectively, to destroy these nations—and by Islam’s own admission, an example being Sura 8:39, never mind this wretched faith’s assertion that non-believers are “the vilest of creatures” (Sura 98:6) and the equivalent of human waste as taught by all major schools of Islamic theology, both Sunni and Shiite?
Yes, what the Hell will it take? The West was run better in the Middle Ages under such people like Charles Martel and his grandson, Charlemagne, as well as by many Popes like Urban II and Innocent III, where accurate understanding of Mo’s creed was the issue du jour. Now it seems overwhelmingly that the West is run by moral idiots. So much for advancement of the human condition.
Yes, man advances and retreats at one and the same time The creation of America and the capacity to land on the Moon are examples of the former and the excuse making and willful ignorance in our era about the world’s most destructive religion where freedom is concerned resonates as testimony that man often goes one step forward followed by two steps backward, yet another example of this “lurch backwards” is celebrating total losers like drag queens giving recitals to 3rd graders.
Time for a BLT and a couple of beers (while I can still have such lest Mo’s horrible creed take over America, just about the most horrible thought I have had in a long time). Yep, bad enough what is going on in Norway but if Islam prevails in America, then you can kiss the West good-bye. For the record and in closing here, I really like bacon and beer and I despise, utterly despise, both Islam and willful ignorance of Islam by clueless dhimmis, such as those now in charge of Norway’s military.

Norway is letting the enemy join their military. This was one of the reasons the western Roman empire fell – they allowed Goths to join the Roman army and even be generals in the Roman army.

It only take an idiot or two to bring in the enemy and make the enemy a hero, an example, and leader, a dictator.
” love and faith,”…neither of these have any place in islime. muzzlims don’t have “faith,” and they have no real concept of “love”
Faith is relying on Another to do things one cannot do for himself. muzzlims are the ones lying, raping, murdering as their ‘god’….a false and evil serpent….cannot do those things directly.
Love is putting others first….making sacrifices for the good of others, forgiving errors, showing kindness and willingness to get along even through differences.
muzzlims may ‘sacrifice’ themselves to gain that awful version of a pretend paradise with 24 hour booze, unending sex with young innocents, and seeing Mary raped by their fake prophet.
But, muzzliims do not sacrifice themselves for their families, and they freely murder family members for their fake honor.
How can any sane person see this muzzlim display of evil as a good thing? when this idiot woman is raped by one of her choices for “diversity”….will she live to regret what she has done?
“Woe to those putting evil for good, bitter for sweet and darkness for light.”

Why do armed forces need diversity? Especially when unity of effort and purpose is so important. Surely diversity detracts from achieving unity of effort and purpose in military operations.

This Muslim supremacist would be murdering Norwegians–and using Norweigian weapons and training to do it.

“Gry Bohne Hauge, head of marketing and society within the Norwegian Defense Forces, defends the cultural Marxist approach.”
Another mentally ill leftwing-Marxist infidel that has no clue about Islam or even tried to read what is written there.
