Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Oslo’s “Citizen of the Year”: “Death to Israel,” “Long live the Sharia”

Dec 23, 2015 9:42 am By Nicolai Sennels

MohsanRaja

(Photo above: Mohsan Raja and one of his Facebook comments: “What is going on with all those people who have gay colors on their profile photo?? Same sex relationships are illegal according to Islam. NO MORE DISCUSSION! WE Muslims cannot show our support to somebody whom Allah strongly dislikes. I think it is wrong. It would almost be the same as saying that I support people who drink alchohol, kill, sell drugs etc.!! Yes, we should respect all people, but we should not respect their actions.. HAVE A GOOD DAY :-)”

The Muslim Mohsan Raja was elected Citizen of the Year in the Norwegian capital of Oslo. The election was mainly based on his volunteer work in Nattevaktene (helping people who have gotten lost, etc.) and with Refugees Welcome to Norway. Raja was chosen by the readers of Oslo’s largest newspaper – but only after the election, the newspaper disclosed certain details about Raja…

Translated from Oslo By:

“Bullying and harassment are not freedom of expression, those who do these things should be prepared for reactions, and people react differently,” he wrote two days after the attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, in which twelve people were killed.

In another post written on Facebook this summer, Raja wrote that it is a criminal offense to be gay or lesbian, according to Islam.

In addition, according to Aftenposten, Raja has been convicted several times during the period 2002-2010 for drug crime and violence. …

On social media, a photo of Raja posing with a pistol is being shared. …

“This is a photo from Pakistan, where everyone has a gun in his home. It was taken in 2010 and I posed to look cool.” According to Raja, he grew up in a tough environment in Groruddalen, with gangsters as role models. …

Abusive tone towards female volunteers

Volunteers in the the group Nattevaktene describe Raja, who has also worked in the group Refugees Welcome to Norway, as controversial …

Several pointed out that Raja especially has had an inappropriate tone towards female volunteers. Aftenposten has seen a dialogue between Raja and a female colleague which must be described as very inappropriate.

Volunteer coordinator Maren-Anne Haslie of Refugees Welcome to Norway (RWTN) did not want to be interviewed about Raja’s behavior. But on RWTN’s internal forum, she described how Raja tackled the conflicts that arose between the two groups:

“The way Mohsan Raja handled the conflict has resulted in many of our female volunteers not wanting to work with Mohsan.”…

[She asked Raja:] “On Twitter, different users have posted two new Facebook messages that you wrote in 2014:

“‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Long live the sharia.’

“Do you still stand by these statements?”

[Raja replied:] “The Sharia comment I cannot remember having written. I’m not practicing and do not know the details of Sharia. In questions regarding Sharia, I back what the Islamic Council says.”

[Haslie:] “And the Israel comment?”

[Raja:] “This is a conflict that has lasted for many years. I support Palestine in this conflict.”

    He actually wrote “Dead to Israel”, just to show how incompetent he is in the Norwegian language.

    The sad thing is, almost every one else in islam supports him…

      True. The fact is people in the West, whether in the US or in Norway love people like this hateful muslim jihadist and have great sympathies for them and are rewarding them in all kinds of ways while they despise and hate and demonize ex-muslims and other Christians who are threatened by muslim jihadists. People in the West are following a new fanatical secular religion known as “liberal democracy” and this new secular religion is just as Anti-Christian as islam and the two are collaborating in destroying Christianity and its moral teachings. Liberal democracy and islamic jihadism are United in Hate and their final aim to destroy Christianity first in the West and then in the rest of the world and they seem to succeeding in their demonic campaign and its only Russia that is standing in the way of their demonic victory. America and the West hate Russia because Christian Russia will not bend to their atheistic secular liberal democratic fanatical religion and their “LGBT” agenda. Please pray for Russia as fights these two evil and destructive Anti-Christian ideologies (islamic jihadist ideology & atheistic liberal democratic ideologies). Let us keep praying for the defeat of these two evil ideologies. Pray!

    Wouldn’t want to hurt Allah’s poor feelings! One would think the creator of the universe, the determiner of all things, the omnipotent deity would have thicker skin, and couldn’t possibly be upset with his own creation. Clearly, Allah is a failure.

    • Westman says

      Dec 23, 2015 at 11:30 am

      Perhaps he needs a course in anger management. That the creator of all that is, would be angered by the actions of 1/100,000,000,000 part of ever-existing humanity on one dinky little planet in a sea of solar systems having inhabited planets within a sea of galaxies within what may be a sea of universes, does seem to point to a personality disorder. Of course, all we see is humans carrying out the will of Allah, an Allah who has never been seen, even by Muhammad.

      Now if there were many gods, big-time polytheism, it would be more credible. But then which god is over the lesser gods and so on. Somehow this sounds familiar…

      Well said.
      Blasphemy cannot exist for the creator of everything.
      Would we care about the opinions of a flea on the back of a flea on
      a rat’s backside in the depths of the African jungle ?
      Islam is merely the most overtly political & repressive religion to
      have ever been invented to keep the ruling elite free from
      democracy

        My compliments, your syntetic definition of Islam is very accurate. And it is of a wider meaning because it applies perfectly to what Christianity has been for hundreds of years, and Judaism for an extra millennium. Goes perfectly for Hinduism as well. What is also particularly important in your definition is the “overtly”, it indicates that Islam counts on a flock much more manageable than subjects are under other religions. Possibly because of brutality but also because Islam is careful to impose a prevalently koranic education. To see the same situation in Europe you have to go back to the time from more orl ess 100 years after St. Augustine through the beginning of 1600.

      AND – since the ‘poor Allah’ actually is the one who created all those Gays & Lesbians (if you believe this s**t) you’d think he would at least tell other people to treat his ‘mistakes’ kindly ! How I loathe this ideology of Islam that has zero understanding of itself.

  4. John Press says

    US courts have ruled both that Muslims cannot be citizens AND that we have the right to bar them of citizenship as such. Read the court’s rulings here.

    Oslo’s citizen of the year is a MISOGYNIST, A ANTI-GAY ACTIVIST and a supporter of TERRORISM.

    A model citizen … but of the ISIS Caliphate… not a model for any Western country.

    When will the Left see the danger of Islamization?

    Ha! Wait wait… What is it that this guy does that’s so wonderful he is dubbed “Citizen of the Year”? He volinteers at a place that helps people who are lost. Really? So Oslo has such mediocre residents, that the best they could come up with was a guy that hands out maps… Then they are surprised to find out he’s an idiot? Mind blown.

    Dec 23, 2015 at 2:20 pm

    Interesting how we can love the idea of charity so much we make celebrities out of certain people (an extremely minor one in this particular case.) So much so that the newspaper covered up this guy’s more unsavory aspects until the votes were in. Even so I’m sure many of the undecerning in Oslo ignored the news of Raja’s not-so-nice side(s), and would vote for him again.

  10. Myxlplik says

    Dec 23, 2015 at 2:57 pm

    So by his logic if you are an openly practicing Muslim it’s okay for Gays and Lesbians who are offended to start murdering the open observers of Islam?

      No other group strives under muzzie rule, muzzies oppress all other groups and impose barbaric sharia.law. I fully agree death to perverse sharia and Am Israel chai. Raja is a typical muzzie who abuses women, hates Jews and wants to abolish free speech.

      “Bullying and harassment are not freedom of expression, those who do these things should be prepared for reactions, and people react differently,” he wrote two days after the attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, in which twelve people were killed.

      It’s not up to him to define freedom of expression. The Charlie Hebdo cartoons had nothing to do with bullying and harassment. Muzzies want to change our values and we can’t sit and watch, we’ve got to act.

    Meanwhile, in Israel, gays and lesbians are living well AS ARE MANY MUSLIMS.
    An amusing thing about Tel Aviv is that one can walk from the main mosque in Jaffa to areas where gay flags abound in very little time, maybe 20-30 minutes. What an “evil” society…

    • Ismail says

      Dec 23, 2015 at 10:56 pm

      Yes, whether a society is fundamentally just or unjust depends entirely on the status accorded to homosexuality. The USA was the worst country on earth until great leader Barack Hussein Obama the ostensible crypto-Muslim intervened with the Supreme Court in favor of homosexuals earlier this year. All Russia and Iran need to do is legalize gay marriage and they will become the best countries ever.

      Sharia in Europe is only matter of time.
      Sharia in America is a possibility.
      Sharia in Israel – never.

    Sharia seems to be winning in Europe as their stupid leaders are selling them to the enemy.

    It’s Christmas eve and BBC has nothing but boot-licking sycophantic news about Muslims in their front page.

    1 million refugees have reached Europe and a German court has found “nothing wrong” with Sharia police lead by a terrorist patrolling their streets.

      NONSENSE.

      Jews did not ‘thrive’ under Muslim rule. Like Christians, Zoroastrians and HIndus, they eked out an existence as despised, exploited, humiliated, degraded and perpetually-imperilled Dhimmis, paying a very stiff Jizya ‘ransom’ to be – perhaps, maybe, if the fickle Mohammedan mob, the current despot, or the local imam – grudgingly permitted to remain alive in order to continue to be exploited.

      Go peddle your BS somewhere else. Nobody here is fooled.

      NO sane human being, once they know exactly what the Dhimma is, would *ever* want to be a Dhimmi, an untermensch subjected to a calculated and viciously cruel mind-bendingly horrible system of Abuse which is also a brazen **extortion racket**.

      The Status of Non-Muslims Under Muslim Rule

      After the rapid expansion of the Muslim dominion in the 7th century, Muslims leaders were required to work out a way of dealing with Non-Muslims, who remained in the majority in many areas for centuries. The solution was to develop the notion of the “dhimma”, or “protected person”. The Dhimmi were required to pay an extra tax, but usually they were unmolested. This compares well with the treatment meted out to non-Christians in Christian Europe. The Pact of Umar is supposed to have been the peace accord offered by the Caliph Umar to the Christians of Syria, a “pact” which formed the patter of later interaction.

      We heard from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanam [died 78/697] as follows: When Umar ibn al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, accorded a peace to the Christians of Syria, we wrote to him as follows:

      In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate. This is a letter to the servant of God Umar [ibn al-Khattab], Commander of the Faithful, from the Christians of such-and-such a city. When you came against us, we asked you for safe-conduct (aman) for ourselves, our descendants, our property, and the people of our community, and we undertook the following obligations toward you:

      We shall not build, in our cities or in their neighborhood, new monasteries, Churches, convents, or monks’ cells, nor shall we repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins or are situated in the quarters of the Muslims.

      We shall keep our gates wide open for passersby and travelers. We shall give board and lodging to all Muslims who pass our way for three days.

      We shall not give shelter in our churches or in our dwellings to any spy, nor bide him from the Muslims.

      We shall not teach the Qur’an to our children.

      We shall not manifest our religion publicly nor convert anyone to it. We shall not prevent any of our kin from entering Islam if they wish it.

      We shall show respect toward the Muslims, and we shall rise from our seats when they wish to sit.

      We shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments, the qalansuwa, the turban, footwear, or the parting of the hair. We shall not speak as they do, nor shall we adopt their kunyas.

      We shall not mount on saddles, nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our- persons.

      We shall not engrave Arabic inscriptions on our seals.

      We shall not sell fermented drinks.

      We shall clip the fronts of our heads.

      We shall always dress in the same way wherever we may be, and we shall bind the zunar round our waists

      We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims. We shall use only clappers in our churches very softly. We shall not raise our voices when following our dead. We shall not show lights on any of the roads of the Muslims or in their markets. We shall not bury our dead near the Muslims.

      We shall not take slaves who have been allotted to Muslims.

      We shall not build houses overtopping the houses of the Muslims.

      When I brought the letter to Umar, may God be pleased with him, he added, “We shall not strike a Muslim.”)

      We accept these conditions for ourselves and for the people of our community, and in return we receive safe-conduct.

      If we in any way violate these undertakings for which we ourselves stand surety, we forfeit our covenant [dhimma], and we become liable to the penalties for contumacy and sedition.

      Umar ibn al-Khittab replied: Sign what they ask, but add two clauses and impose them in addition to those which they have undertaken. They are: “They shall not buy anyone made prisoner by the Muslims,” and “Whoever strikes a Muslim with deliberate intent shall forfeit the protection of this pact.”

      from Al-Turtushi, Siraj al-Muluk, pp. 229-230.

    Pray?
    Was it not the great American poet Jim Morrison who said-
    “you can’t invoke the lord with prayer”
    but-
    “when two or more are gathered in my name…..”
    But also enmasse ‘dreaming’ by American infidels might do the trick, because i guess a fair number of American infidels would have been, or are, reincarnations of native American Indians, who, i heard from one in the New Forest Engeland, are into
    ‘dreaming’
    i guessed as a form of influence, i didn’t ask more, he went gazeful.
    Maybe it has taken all the just gone centuries to manifest.
    The conditions are ready for the ‘gathering’ of the dreamers.
    The Muslims do enmasse stuff.
    So do the Christians, praying etc.
    One could achieve ‘feedback’ with the ‘dreaming’ maybe.
    It was a Muslim that told me, Christians got the power, Jews got the dosh, Islam got the dream.
    Set a thief to catch a thief
    Dreamers to catch a dream.
    Nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Season Greetings all infidels!

    I am born and raised in Oslo and I consider myself a local in the Norwegian capital.

    Many people in Norway have misunderstood what they call tolerance of foreign cultures when they can award an individual with a price that keeps and preaches a set of values that is SO in contradiction to the Norwegian values that our forfathers has fougt to obtain and improve trough the years; Women rights, gay rights, freedom of expression, freedom to choose the life You want to live, etc!

    It is a shame and an outrage, and it is a sign of stupidity from the people who gave him this prize!

    Merry X-Mas to all!

    Greetings from Oslo

    I wonder how this prick will react when someone named israel or benjamin shows up while he is walking some old lady across the street, no doubt another muslim in a burka, and that person happens to waste the prick because, using his own words, “bullying and harassment are not freedom of expression and those who do these things should be prepared for reactions and people react differently.” The icing on the cake would be when these good samaritans come to their senses reacting differently to cry out, “Til Valhall!” I believe another good cry would be, “Public Service!” The islamists are awakening the warriors in us all around the world and their days are being numbered!
