That caught my eye, too.
Ansar al-Islam (Friends of Islam, roughly) are seriously bad news.
The Germans have busted a few of these clowns here in Berlin, and PROMPTLY deported back them to their countries of origin.
Not far from where I live, there’s a little storefront mosque. Heard a good story about it, from my upstairs neighbor, a sheik.
A few years ago, this mosque had some real wacked-out imam preaching all kinds of wackiness. Someone (a parishoner apparently) didn’t like it, and said something to the police. They (the cops) put an informant inside the mosque with a wire and recorded one of the sermons. Then the police informant bought a couple of books in the basement; among them, “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion”.
The imam was arrested for promoting anti-Semitism, and duly deported back to Egypt, no questions asked.
That’s how you handle these sort of things. In the aforementioned case, a conscientious parishoner may well have prevented something much worse. In the case in Norway, there was no such luck. Generally, that tells me this was a small, and very tight-knit conspiracy.
Infiltrating mosques is against the law in these parts.
