Norway: Pro-Israeli Politician Gets Death Threats

From Norwegian Kafir's superb new weblog, Fjordman. Links throughout at the Fjordman site:

Member of Parliament for the rightwing Progress Party, Ulf Erik Knudsen, was accompanied by a bodyguard during a debate arranged by the Immigration Council in the town of Drammen outside Oslo this week. The debate was about whether or not Islam could function as a bridge with Christianity:
He is an internationally certified bodyguard, hired by the party, Knudsen confirms. According to him, both the police and the security services at Parliament have been informed, since MPs for the Progress Party have received a marked increase in the number of death threats recently. Knudsen claims the threats are aggressive, but not specific in nature, saying that ”the next time somebody from the Progress Party takes part in a debate about immigration, the person will be taken care of forever”. – I don’t know for how long I will employ a bodyguard, but it is clear that the security precautions during this fall’s parliamentary elections will be extensive. Usually, it is primarily party leader Carl I. Hagen who gets special protection, but this may now change. Knudsen in particular is exposed to these kinds of threats for other reasons: - I have on many different occasions voiced my support for Israel in the conflict with the Palestinians. Last year this lead to a number of serious threats against my person.

Drammen has one of the highest percentages of Muslim immigrants of any Norwegian city, but being harassed for suspected pro-Israeli opinions isn’t a problem unique to Drammen. A municipally employed teacher in Kristiansand was prevented from wearing a Star of David around his neck. Kristiansand Adult Education Center, where the man works, ruled that the Jewish symbol could be deemed a provocation towards the many Muslim students at the school.

"....ruled that the Jewish symbol could be deemed a provocation towards the many Muslim students at the school."
The very fact that there are living, breathing Jews anywhere in this world is a provocation toward Muslims.
Muslim provocation. Muslim anger. Muslim outrage.
Islam seems to be an exraordinarily hypersensitive religion.
But they know how to assuage those irritants don't they.
They simply kill them.

When we thought they could'nt fall any lower, they begine to dig...

There was a politician murdered in a mall in cold blood about a year ago. I do not know all the details but I am wondering if it is jihad related.

It works like a charm,
'i will kill you if you upset me in any way, and i upset very easily'.

Do you hear many politicos in N. America taking on islam ? I don't.

I said many, how about 'any politicos'.

We cower, they strut; makes me puke.

As for free speech, only for muslims.
My life is in danger if i tell the truth, other than anonymously, over the internet.

Anyone care to guess where we will be 10 years from now ?

Everyone agrees that Norwegian resistance against Nazism was among the most effective Partisan movements in all World War Two. At the time, the small and scattered population of the country did not give an inch, and made the invaders pay for every mountain and fjord they had taken. Now we find that the descendants of those fearless partisan fighters, who had looked in the face of Wehrmacht and SS force without blinking, prevent someone from wearing a Star of David because it might "provoke" Muslim children. Oh, how low the children have fallen...

Bastards!

Why is Europe such a hostile place for Jews? Is Europe becoming as hostile towards Jews as nations such as Egypt and Syria? It has been like this for a long time... but this intimidation of Israel supporters must end... END MUSLIM IMMIGRATION TO EUROPE
