Saudi Arabia funds the building of mosques around the world, even though no other faiths are allowed to build their places of worship within the socially backward, but wealthy, kingdom. A plan to build a mosque in Tromsø in the remotest north of Norway has been put at risk by a government ruling, states Agence France-Presse, via Khaleej Times. Ragnhild Imerslund, a foreign ministry spokeswoman, said: “It would be paradoxical and unnatural to approve financing coming from a country where religious freedom does not exist.”
The donor is a Saudi businessman named Hamad al-Gamas who had pledged 20 million Norwegian Kroner, or 3.4 million US dollars, to the mosque building project. A spokeswoman for the organization building the mosque said:
“The donor set out as a condition that the Norwegian authorities would provide written approval. In the absence of such approval, it is natural to suspend the project.”
AFP states that earlier this year, a similar plan to build a mosque in Oslo, the capital, was blocked by the Norwegian government, for the same reasons...
Norway, like Russia, is part of the Council of Europe, but is not part of the European Union. By not being part of the EU, Norway is marginally less dhimmi than its neighbour Sweden, though Norway has still not found a way to deport the al-Qaeda supporting Mullah Krekar who has lived as an asylum seeker in Norway for 19 years. Even though he claimed to be a refugee, he had slipped back to Iraq to set up the |Kurdish terror group Ansar al-Islam.
Tromsø is within the Arctic Circle, and had a reputation of having the northernmost church in the world. For this reason, there is a touch of “imperialism” about attempts to place a mosque at the top of the world.
Let’s hope they are waking up to the evil game.
Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal. Easter celebrations are illegal. It is punishable by death for a non-mulsim to enter the “holy” muslim cities of Medina and Mecca.
Are the Europeons finally beginning to “get it”?
> the “holy” muslim cities of Medina and Mecca.
Nuke Mecca.
Twice.
It looks like they are getting it faster than we are. Have you seen this? He really goes off on them about half-way through.
Maybe Americans may understand some day that all six TV networks which control almost all TV channels have Saudi shareholders, joint venture partners and other streategic business deals to help push Islamization of America. It’s ALL TV.
European countries are ahead of the US in refusing to approve the spreading of the Islam infection of their countries. In spite of dozens of Islamist attacks, the USA is still pretending this political cancer masquerading as a religion is non-threatening. Why should any mosques be built here when not one Christian church is allowed in Saudi Arabia?
Wow.... Is Norway waking up?

Yes, it seems that Norway is starting to understand. Good for them!
Maybe someday the US will have leaders with this kind of common sense and backbone.
I know, I know - it wouldn’t be fair to the Inuit and Eskimo muslims to restrict the building of mosques in the far north.

Good for Norway!!!
Wow, wish we had men like him here.
NORWAY!
