Norway: Muslim migrant sets fire to two churches in revenge for alleged Qur’an-burning by Norwegian

Mar 24, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“He has stated as a reason for his actions that he was angry and cursed because a Norwegian man had set fire to the Koran, without the police having done anything about it.”

Of course the police did nothing about it, because Norway is not a Sharia state, not yet anyway, and the burning of any book, while a despicable and stupid act, is not illegal. This migrant assumes that Norway should be, and should now become, a Sharia state. Norwegian authorities are likely to comply.

“Those charged with the church fire ‘were angry and cursed because a Norwegian man set fire to the Qur’an,'” translated from “Siktede for kirkebrannen ‘var sint og forbannet fordi en norsk mann har satt fyr på Koranen,” by Øyvind Thuestad, Document, March 21, 2020:

The man (28) who is charged with the church fire at Dombås was avenging the fact that a Norwegian man had set fire to the Quran.

He was arrested on Saturday night in Dombås, and the same day imprisoned for four weeks for the fire at Dombås and attempted igniting of a church in Sel. The fire in the Dombås church happened on February 20. The Sel church was the subject of attempted arson on March 19. The man has admitted to the criminal charges.

“He has stated as a reason for his actions that he was angry and cursed because a Norwegian man had set fire to the Koran, without the police having done anything about it,” writes Hedmarken district court in the arrest warrant.

The 28-year-old “lives [in] Nord-Gudbrandsdal”, writes NTB, but his name indicates that he has an immigrant background from the Middle East or Africa.

The accused are without work and dependents….

Hedmark District Court thought imprisonment was necessary “to prevent the defendant from committing a criminal offense of a similar nature”.

The police perceive the accused as mentally unstable, and “this fact also means that there is a high degree of probability of new criminal offenses if he is released,” the court writes.

The court believes that four-week imprisonment is not disproportionate and emphasizes, among other things, that “it is a serious crime”….

    The “angry and cursed” bit should read “angry and pissed”. This is a mistranslation of “forbannet”, which while by itself meaning “cursed” has become slang for “pissed off” in modern times.

      one of these is a freedom of expression the other a act of terrorism and grounds to kick him out of the country…

    Four weeks’ prison for burning down a church?
    A kick in the teeth for Norwegians.

    He should have been deported back to the shit-hole that he came from!

      May I add after serving the sentence !

      • Ray Jarman says

        Mar 24, 2020 at 2:28 pm

        I agree with both of you gentlemen but I bet he is released for good behavior before the four weeks and provided with better accommodations and higher wages for doing nothing except evil.

        Yes–a long sentence, restitution, and the deportation. In a sane world…

    If “angry and pissed off” gets churches burning, what is mild annoyance? Beheading?

    Islam was built for angry people to continue to be angry and rape and pillage.

    “the burning of any book, while a despicable and stupid act”

    1. O.K. If the book is irreplaceable (one or very few of a kind). But, if I burn some of my old Commodore Computer books…..

    2. As I recall, burning an old, worn out Qur’an is an approved method. Than in mind, not many people here, I imagine, who wouldn’t torch one.

      Why burn perfectly acceptable loo paper?

  8. European pagan says

    Mar 24, 2020 at 4:11 pm

    The Norwegian burned a BOOK, and the muslim burned a building (church), it is not eye for an eye

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 25, 2020 at 9:38 pm

      The Norwegian *burned his own book*. Unless this caused a fire hazard, it should not be a crime at all.

  9. Cece says

    Mar 24, 2020 at 4:30 pm

    He and his ‘dependents’ should be deported, ASAP.

  10. James Lincoln says

    Wouldn’t it be ironic if it had been well documented that the burned church also contained a few copies of the Koran – for reference purposes…

    • Wellington says

      Mar 24, 2020 at 6:01 pm

      Yes, James, delicious irony indeed if so.

    The report by “Document” does not say the name of the first church burnt.

    The report does not say the name of the second church burnt.

    The report does not say the name of the alleged accused.

    The report does not say the name of the mosque the alleged accused attended.

    If a Swede had burned two mosques?

    At his sentencing he should be reminded of the burning of the library at Alexandria?

    Not one word of Christianphobia and Christianphobia?

    Not one word of invasion and not one word of war on Christians?

  12. Rufolino says

    As events like this pile up in W.Europe, and the responses of the authorities continue to be so weak, what we are observing are the precursors of what will trigger civil wars in Europe.
    More and more people are getting sick of Islam and sick of weak authority.
    There is still some way to go on this trajectory in W.Europe. Civil wars not yet, but later this century.

  13. Battle says

    Mar 25, 2020 at 6:50 am

    Second attempt:

    I hope the next “Document” reports the name of the first church and name of the second church?

    I hope the next reports the name the alleged arsonist?

    Will the arsonist’s mosque be in next report? And investigated?

    If a Norwegian was to burn down two mosques would he be police charged with “mental illness” or a hate crime?

    At sentencing the alleged arsonist should be reminded of the burning of the library of Alexandria?

    I hope the next reports Christianphobia?

    I hope the next reports Christianphobia?

    I hope the next reports immigrant war on Norway?

    I hope the next reports war on Christianity?

    This self righteous, hate filled devout Muslim is obviously with any knowledge of the history of his beloved Koran.

    The only reason why the Koran versions are reasonably consistent is that Islamic leaders through the ages burned copies which were not in line with their approved texts.

    My guess is that Muslims burned far more Korans than the despicable infidels.

  15. Tom Stinnett says

    PURE BULLSHIT LITTLE bastard should be sentenced to at least3yrs for arson

  16. OLD GUY says

    Mar 25, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    When you let these crimes go unpunished you are simply inviting them to continue and expand. The muslims always look for the weakness, if they find a weakness they will continue to exploit it. In order to stop these crimes you must hit them hard with prison time and deportations of them and their families.

    Norway: Muslim migrant sets fire to two churches in revenge for alleged Qur’an-burning by Norwegian
    ………………

    Next time this pious Muslim will burn down a church full of worshippers.

  18. George Peabody says

    It is time the Crusaders put the FEAR of God into all Muslims, and deport them back to their own Sharia nations.
