You won’t be the majority for much longer, and when those to whom you are showing so much solicitude are in power, they will not be so kind to you.
“‘Touching’: Norway Mulls Giving Away ‘Extra’ Christian Holidays to Muslims,” Sputnik, May 17, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Following complaints from Norwegian priests who have argued that there are too many Christian holidays, the Christian Student Union has proposed “donating” holidays deemed superfluous to Muslims. While representatives of the Muslim community have found this idea “touching,” the Christian People’s Party is against a change in Norwegian calendar.
In an unorthodox proposal, the Norwegian Christian Student Union has suggested giving away “secondary” holidays, such Saint Stephen’s day (in Scandinavia known as the second day of Christmas), Easter Monday and the second day of Pentecost, currently public holidays, the Klassekampen daily reported.
According to Norwegian Christian Student Union leader Ingvild Yrke, Muslims, the environmental movement and the feminist movement are the likely beneficiaries, with the end of the Islamic month of fasting Ramadan possibly being elevated to a national holiday.
“International Women’s Day March 8, World Environment Day and Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha are good alternative public holidays,” Yrke explained to Klassekampen.
The debate was started by priests Einar Gelius and Per Anders Nordengen, who argued earlier this year that there were “too many” Christian holidays. Yrke concurred that “secondary” holidays are a remnant from the era when people needed an extra day off to attend church. Also, it would be a charitable action to give Muslims a day off of their own, she argued.
“We Christians are called to fight for the cause of the weak. We who are the majority must give them this day,” Yrke said….
Save Europe says
Madness. So many universities in a plethora of cities and towns within Western countries are overrun with puerile and obtuse Leftards. The brainwashing is staggering.
KJW says
It must annoy other religions to giving such attention to Muslims. Here in the US our state stopped Good Friday as a government holiday-post office, banks, state government offices would close. The only Christian holiday we get off is Christmas which is a huge retail holiday and not just celebrated by Christians, and atheists too.
Making Muslim holidays national ones has been a goal and a Somalian immigrant said this to me. Hanukkah nor Passover is not a federal holiday neither is Chinese New Year, etc. Thus Muslims shouldn’t have one either, they just have this competitive religion attitude that we don’t have and want to dominate above others.
I don’t know how it works in Norway, but we have tons of these non-federal holidays: Mother’s and Father’s Day, Bosses Day, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Earth Day, etc. They aren’t so kind in Islamic countries and in Saudi Arabia who pushes all this Islamization thanks to the feckless shimmy politicians, the EU, the European Commission, et al., they don’t let Christians display their customs at all.
Notmoron says
These so called “Christian students ” they are not even Christians but are pure brains dead leftards.
Ask them a simple question, how Christians are doing in the Muslim majority countries?
Berengaria says
Do the Norwegians really believe that their weakness, in giving away their own Culture to the Muslims, will not be exploited to the MAX by the “soon to be” Majority of Savages. “Touching” was the word used
by the Muslim Mob, to describe the cowardice of their Host Country.
The Norwegians are sending a message that they are now “Dhimmi” subjects of Islam. SAD!
R Russell says
……the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God……
CogitoErgoSum says
St. Stephen was the first Christian martyr. He gave his life trying to spread the message of Christ. What a disgrace that these Christians in Norway now think he’s not worth remembering and want to give up his special day so they can show their respect for another religion that is devoted to wiping out Christianity. The shortest verse in the Bible comes to mind, “Jesus wept.”
Sam says
I want to be objective and not blame these brainwashed Christians in their attitude towards Islam. But i can not.
How ignorant can you get with all the havoc Islam has been and is causing on the Planet?
EUROPE YOU DESERVE ISLAM!!!!
Lydia Church says
This is what happens when they abandon the God of the Bible.
Old testament history goes down a similar path… they turned away to false pagan gods of the surrounding heathen lands… and eventually it lead to their captivity in Babylon and Syria.
Europe is well on their way.
CogitoErgoSum says
This really burns me — so I have another thing or two to say. As far as fighting for the weak …. just who are the weak? There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. Weak? Are you kidding me? If the people of this religion are incapable of helping one another, then their religion is nothing but garbage and it deserves to die. As Christ would say, “Let those who thirst come to me” and also bring those who hunger for a better life. He is waiting for them and it is the duty of a Christian to show the entire world the way to Him …. not to help the ignorant stumble around in the dark cursing and blaming others for their misery. Islam is a chain holding people back that needs to be broken and smashed beyond repair.
Lydia Church says
Amen!
And the persecuted Christians in the middle east, persecuted and martyred by the muslims… are they not the ‘weak’???
Acquiescing to the enemy will get you nowhere. That is why I always preach so staunchly against any form of compromise! We are NOT to give olive branches to the devil. We are not to give an inch to false religions or to sin. We are to preach the gospel and set the captives free as they come to the saving power of Jesus, the only Savior and ‘Messenger’ of God.
But this false approach is so advocated by the secret workers of the globalist agenda who have infiltrated the church at large. You can’t meet them ‘in the middle’ because then you will have left the truth of your position. But that’s all part of their goal!
Jedothek says
This stupidity seems to derive from an inability to distinguish two things:
1. A Christian helping a fellow human being in need who happens to be a Muslim ; this is good thing;
and
2. A Christian helping to promote another religion: this violates various Christian principles such as John 14:6.
I’m not even a Christian; I just hate muddy thinking.

Jesus said to his disciples: BE WISE AS SERPENTS.
George Williams says
It appears that these children only view Christian holidays as days off, without religious significance. If that’s so they are mocking their religion, not practicing it.
Granddaddy says
Apparently the fake church is alive and well in Norway also.
somehistory says
There seems to be no end to stupid. And so many, many stupid decisions are made by those with governments or another status that causes their ideas to be implemented. The curse of that is, that everyone else suffers the consequences.
The clergy deciding there are “too many Christian holidays.” The stupid girl deciding these should be taken away from those who have understood them, and be given to the worshippers of the demon fake god, satan the devil….because she thinks they are “weak” and that this is following the command of Jesus to “help the weak.’ What grand stupidity.
If all days celebrated or considered holidays were given over to moslims…how will they use them? They have their own days of celebrating satan’s beast and one only has to read a few news stories to see how they use this time. Bombings, burning, raping, killing…all for their fake god.
So go ahead you foolish girl, who knows not Christianity, and give to them until it hurts…which won’t be long.
Kepha says
WHat ever happened to the likes of Ole Hallesby, who both called out the Nazi persecution of the Jews as wrong and un-Christian (and was placed under house arrest); and also held that there is salvation only in Jesus Christ? What ever happened to the Norwegian Christianity that once sent out so many dedicated missionaries, even if they were Lutherans or Holiness, rather than Reformed?
Mine øyne flyter som elver over hva som har skjedd med landet til min mors forfedre! Vi må lese Lamentationsboken over hele Skandinavia!

Good questions, Kepha.

Pollyannas.
FYI says
I’ll bet these silly,misinformed,naive,dhimmiwits in the Norwegian Christian students Union don’t know that…
1 allah CURSES Christians {koran 9;30}
2 allah ridicules and dismisses the Crucifixion of Christ {koran 4:157}
“They slew him not nor crucified him”
….as well as denying the Resurrection of Christ{ k3:55}
Insulting to Christians surely!
3allah does not know what the “Holy Spirit” is because he refuses to believe (..he cannot
understand!..) the Theology behind the Christian concept of the Triune God{ k4:17}
So allah doesn’t know where prophecy comes from,since he denies that aspect of God through which prophecy comes!…. 2Peter1 v 20-21
4 “We Christians are called to fight for the cause of the weak”
Actually you are called to PREACH the Gospel to the muslims with their antiChristian,antJewish god allah(koran 9:30).the muslims are certainly not weak:they are aggressive and violent to ALL non-muslims as their antichristian,antiJewish god allah tells them to be in his “perfect” koran.
Calling yourselves “Christians” is not sufficient to pass the authenticity test of Matthew 7 v 21-23
(which you Norwegian Christians would know precisely if you bothered to actually READ and follow the Gospel.
i.e you are duty bound to preach the Gospel to them:NOT pander to their antichristian,misogynistic,violence and hatred promoting,commandment-of-God violating allah who “curses the Jews and the Christians”{ koran 9:30}
Just so you Norwegian Christians..you need to know(since you most certainly do NOT understand the truth about islam)
1.There are no 2 chief commandments(..found in Judaism AND Christianity..) in islam:perhaps you can get your muslim friends to explain why?
In fact allah says..
“Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
koran 5 v 51
..which is in direct violation of God’s 2nd chief commandment.
It is also WHY mass islamic immigration results in ghettos:muslims are NOT here to assimilate.
The more religiously “devout” they are,the less likely they will EVER be part of your society.
That’s a social timebomb waiting to explode!
2 allah curses the Christians.Why?Because they believe in Jesus Christ.That’s allah’s reason!
3 Perhaps if you had sufficient “oil for your lamps”{you don’t!and you probably won’t get the reference..)you would see the idiocy and folly of pandering to the antiChristianity of islam.
These Norwegian “priests”,these collared Whited Sepulchres:a shame so many of these “priests” neither know the Gospel or can read the signs of the times.This seems to be the age of the Quisling politician and the judas priest:what with a “catholic” pope preaching heresy and apostasy in Rome and the protestants too lazy to preach the Gospel and too blind to see the Trojan Horse of islam.
islam is viciously antichristian;allah CURSES Christians{ koran 9:30}{No muslim will tell you that!}
islam ridicules and insults Jesus Christ’s passion and sacrifice
islam does NOT subscribe to the 2 Chief commandments:it preaches HATRED towards non-muslims
Pandering to the antiChristianity of islam is folly:
5 times a day,muslims,in their false piety,”pray” to allah..
.a commandment-of-God violating,antiJewish,antiChristian,god of hate who admits to being a DECEIVER
{koran 3 ;54}
And as for islam’s mass-murdering,polygamist “prophet”:he ,like allah also admits to being a DECEIVER.
“I have fabricated things AGAINST GOD and have imputed to him words he has not spoken”
Al tabari 6:111
that explains where the koran comes from:since it curses Jews and Christians and encourages the breaking of God’s Commandments,preaches hatred and violence…it is in effect…..AGAINST GOD!
If you wish to allow your inherited Christianity in Norway to be overcome by islam,then you well deserve to suffer the consequences and lose your country.It will be poetic justice for the FAILURE of Norwegian Christians to preach and preserve the Gospel.Suffer the horrific consequences then if you wish!
BTW,the bearing of false witness(like mass-murder,stealing from infidels,using women a sex slaves..)
to promote islam …..is permitted by allah using 4 major dissembling tricks.
taqqiya-tawriya-kitman-muruna
I suggest the Norwegian Christian Students Union..
1.Read up on these matters concerning the nature of islam.
2 Start taking the Gospel seriously(especially the prophetic teachings and warnings given)
3 you WILL be the minority in your own country…but that will be YOUR choice!
Terra Nova says
“For the cause of the weak?” Norway, you ought to be kidding. Pretty soon you will be in a total minority
and will have to convert to Islam and Sharia, and you deserve it too. To the fullest.
Are you and your government hoping to be spared and become future leaders? I feel sorry for you with your high moral Christianity. And instead of killing innocent Christians, lay yourself down for Islam.
You don’t care as other Christians get massacred, as long it is not you, or your family.
You are just like the Jihad leaders. They do the same, they send other influential youngsters (in the name of allah) to commit their dirty jobs, they only direct and send others into martyrdom, because they don’t believe the 72 virgins in the afterlife.

Norway: Christian Student Union proposes giving “extra” Christian holidays to Muslims

Where to start with this suicidal insanity?
The pandering to Muslims is disgusting–as is the lack of respect for Christian values.
