Norway Islamist Launches Anti-Gay Pride Site
The Local - Norway ^

Posted on 07/01/2014 6:01:31 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A Norwegian Islamic extremist has launched a Facebook campaign against the Europride festival, which is held in Oslo this week, describing homosexuality as "a nasty and cruel disease".

Ubaydullah Hussain, who was convicted of hate speech against Jews in February, launched the site on Wednesday with an attention-grabbing image of a rainbow flag in flames.

"This group is created to show our opposition to "gay pride (which is really gay shame)," Hussain wrote in his first post on the site, stressing that homosexuality is "strongly forbidden" under Islam, backing up his claim with quotations from the Qur'an.

The page, titled "Stopp homofile i Oslo`s gater!" or "Stop homosexuals on Oslo's streets," had 287 members by Thursday afternoon.

Yousef Assidiq, a Norwegian who converted to Islam in 2009 and campaigns against Islamophobia and Islamic extremist, said he was "disappointed" by Hussain's site.

"I believe in tolerance and I hope that Muslims can get together and support the pride festival on Saturday, and at least ensure that there's no violence or hatred coming out that day," he told The Local.

Assidiq earlier posted a call to Muslims to defend the rights of gay people.

"We Muslims expect to be able to live our daily lives without being harassed, threatened or attacked. We require to be defended from attack, intolerance and hatred," he wrote. "Then we should make sure that all the other people get the same security and the same rights."

Ubaydullah Hussain was formerly the spokesman of Profeten's Ummah, a controversial extremist group which has praised Osama bin Ladin and also claimed to be involved in recruiting Norwegians to fight in Syria.

Hussain's involvement in the group brought an end to a promising career as a referee, after he was banned by the Norwegian football association because of his extreme views.

Stein Runar Østigård, the chairman of Oslo Pride, said Islamic opposition to the festival had "almost become a tradition".

"This is just sad," he added. "I hardly know what to say."

They’ll probably just ignore it, like they do all other inconvenient news.

Christianity, on the other hand, is perfectly OK with all the deviancy. I mean, otherwise, the Christian nations of Europe would rise up and put a stop to the madness, wouldn’t they?

Cannot wait to see these two juggernauts of fascism go head to head... though with the Muslims involved, the heads will probably be rolling.

Someone should plead with President Obama to show them some restraint in his response...

It was only a matter of time. Personally I eagerly await the escalation. With popcorn.

So wait, he’s angry at gays, but he has the name:

Anyone see something conincidentally ironic?

OH BOY! A very politically powerful victim group versus another powerful victim group.

Meanwhile. The gays and feminazis are up in arms over Hobby Lobby while the religion of peace nations hang homosexuals from construction cranes and stone rape victims as a spectator sport.

So we conservatives see on the one side of the scrimmage line...

the American left (leftists, yes, and our enemies but “Americans” just the same) who has destroyed traditional Judeo-Christian culture and morality and replaced it with a perverse, murderous, drug-addicted Socialist hellhole that hates Christians, persecutes Christians, and is destroying the last vestiges of the free market...

and on the other side...

Putin (a leftist and Socialist) standing up for Christian values, defending his borders, calling a spade a spade, bolstering his nation’s sovereignty and economy, albeit in a neo-Soviet way...

It seems to be harder and harder to determine who our true enemy is.

Anyone else confused by all this?

Putin “Standing up for Christian values”

One or two of them. Maybe. Could all be a PR stunt too.

It is still #1 per capita in abortions, easy on kiddie porn and pedophiles etc etc Isn’t it also #1 in alcoholism?

How many Christian denominations are allowed to be active there? How many churches besides the Russian Orthodox Church are allowed to do any broadcasting or spreading the message?

Of course it’s a PR stunt. Enslavement of the people through Socialism and Communism is antithetical to freedom inherent not only in Christianity but in the theory of government that ‘folks’ like Thomas Jefferson stood behind.

The question (rhetorical) and implied in my post is...what’s the purpose of the scrimmage line?

(Psst. It’s to set up a false confrontation between American leftism and Soviet leftism, thus trying to make American conservatives make a choice between the two. But there really is no choice, because it is all Leftism.)

I’ll put on my chips on Thomas Jefferson.
