Norway: Muslim migrant torches two churches in revenge for Qur’an-burning

Aug 21, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This man is “claiming he was upset over a Quran burning that, according to him, went unpunished.”

Of course it went unpunished. Norway is not (yet) a Sharia state. Burning the Qur’an or any other book is not illegal. This migrant assumes that Norway should be, and should now become, a Sharia state. Norwegian authorities are likely eventually to comply.

“Somali Man Who Torched Two Norwegian Churches Says It Was Revenge for Quran Burning,” Sputnik News, August 20, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The immigrant from Africa who set fire to two Norwegian churches, damaging one of them to the tune of $2.2 million, said he was grateful for the reception, but could not tolerate his religion being “trampled upon”.

A Somali citizen residing in Norway who set fire to the Dombås Church and the Sel Church in February 2020 has admitted his guilt in court, claiming he was upset over a Quran burning that, according to him, went unpunished.

The man is in his 20s and resident in Nord-Gudbrandsdalen, where both churches are located. He arrived in Norway in 2015 and first lived in an asylum shelter until receiving a residence permit. So far, he has not had a job in Norway, but has had several internships across the municipality.

By his own admission, he took action after he saw members of the anti-Islamic organisation Stop the Islamisation of Norway (SIAN) burn the Quran in the city of Kristiansand in the autumn of 2019.

“I got angry. The Quran means everything to us”, the accused said, as quoted by national broadcaster NRK.

The man said that he had lived in Dombås for a long time and had never before thought of doing something stupid. “On the contrary, I am grateful for how they have received me at Dombås”, he said. “But I started to check, and found out that the person who had set fire to the Koran, had not been punished. Then I got angry. I am a Muslim. I do not like anyone trampling on my religion, because I respect the religion of others”.

The man further explained that he bought a flammable liquid and matches and took action the same night. According to him, he broke a church window and threw the liquid inside followed by burning matches. The fire started inside the church, but soon spread to the spire, causing damages to the tune of NOK 20 million ($2.2 million)….

“I am very sorry, and I regret it. I should have responded to the burning of the Quran verbally, and not with action”, he said, assuring it was not his intention to harm Norwegian citizens….

    Great Post Mr. Spencer, You continue to deliver news that is never covered by most commercial and state run media. Stay safe, I often pray for your safety, Imagine if this type of person had access to your house.
    STAY STRONG. peace out

        Yes indeed, no religion has committed more, murder, mayhem, theft and pillage in the name of Allah than Islam. Satan, according to Jesus, is he who inspires murder, theft and destruction. I think we know who Allah really is.

          Allah is a figment of Muslim imagination. All of this savagery originated with Muhammad, the self-serving con man that 1.6 billion credulous dupes accept as a bona fide prophet and “the perfect man”.

          Aug 22, 2020 at 1:32 pm

          And here is allah’s GREATEST ENEMY according to this authentic [SAHIH]hadith.

          allah khayru i makireena[koran 3:54]”allah the best of deceivers”,is not just any deceiver:he is the champion deceiver.

          But WHO is allah’s greatest enemy?
          Some might assume that this is satan- but look:

          “The messenger of allah said:’ the most hated of men before allah on the day of resurrection and the most wretched,and the man most hated to him,will be a man who was called MALIK AL AMLAK[king of kings] for there is no king but allah’
          SAHIH MUSLIM VOL 5 HADITH #5611

          So,allah’s greatest enemy is a MAN.

          WHY is allah’s greatest enemy.. a MAN?
          WHO is this mysterious MAN with the name ‘who was called king of kings’?
          That can only be Jesus Christ Revs19:16,the ONLY one with that title.
          And at the resurrection{future} this MAN..WILL[future] be in direct opposition to allah.

          Note that allah’s adversary is not satan;it is Jesus Christ,the king of kings,the One appointed to judge.

          In the Gospel the adversary of Jesus Christ,the king of kings’ is the greatest of all deceivers{satan}

          {You can expect muslims to deny this but it is there.This reference is SAHIH,genuine}

      Yep. That’s the obvious solution. Him and every other Somali Muslim living in the Western world.

    Islam in Norway has wrong written all over it. But then Islam in any Western nation has wrong written all over it. Actually, I’ll proceed further, to wit, Islam anywhere on planet earth has wrong written all over it.

    Why would anyone of sense and knowledge defend Islam? Whatever good is in it (very little to none unless it has occasionally stumbled into the truth), it has so much wrong replete throughout, what with its many nefarious doctrines—including death for apostasy (e.g., Sura 4:89) and the actual allowance of rape (e.g., Suras 4, 23, 33 and 70)—that any defense of Islam ranks right up there with a defense of Nazism, to wit, master faith v. master race.

    So sick of Islam. Besides, there is no Allah, Mo was a brutal, narcissistic psychopath and the Koran is essentially a hate manual. Therefore, thus and verily, I say that every Muslim should be ashamed of themselves and every non-Muslim defending Islam is at best a fool.

      May I add, there is an Allah. It is my opinion that the Allah worshiped in Islam is none other than the creator of Islam, Satan. This religion is from the pit of hell, sadly it will continue to bring death and destruction on an ever-increasing scale.

      Wellinton
      you are correct in all you say ,but sadly so many bleeding hearsts in the governments around the world ,throw open our doors, import trouble ,how bloody stupid are they to bring someone whos purpose in Life is to convert or kill or maim .
      Why has Europe done this along with other countries around the planet , leave them where they belong Africa, and some desert sand pit ,let them sort out their problems in their home land .IF the differenat branchs of Islam can not agree what chance has a Christian country have with bloody minded zelots imported into their midst and not allowed to say boo about it
      Should a referendum ever be held asking the people of these countries, native born and not of imported parents of that ideology from else where , willing to say it would be a resounding NO keep them out, we have withdrawn the welcome mat set by our governmets .
      One day the worm will turn and then all hell will break loose

      “every non-Muslim defending Islam is at best a fool.” Change the word “fool” to “TOOL”, as every single, non-Muslim, MORON who defends Islam through liberalism, without knowledge of its purely evil tenets, will be interviewed by the on-scene Islamic Media, then used as a tool to convert the weak, unwary fools here. Especially the “lifers” in American prisons! Those who don’t know what contempt the racist, psycho “prophet” Mohamed held for Blacks, calling them “raisin heads”!
      Some Blacks often times hate Whites for “400 years of slavery!” Never knowing that Mohamed began the slave trade to Muslim lands1,000 years before Europeans brought Blacks to America, This African to Muslim lands slave trade has continued for over 1,400 straight years.Why don’t the liberal Democrats TELL you?

  7. Maureen Chaloner says

    It WAS his intention to harm Norwegian citizens according to the teachings of that cruel barbarian Mohammed in the Koran. These people have been brainwashed since birth that the Koran is a holy book. Its IS NOT! It is in fact the most unholy satanic book I have ever read. The ONLY true HOLY BOOK is the BIBLE!

    Norway: Muslim migrant torches two churches in revenge for Qur’an-burning
    …………….

    In other words, he attacks Christians because Norway is not yet a Shari’ah state.

    Will this thug be deported after he serves his sentence? I hope so…

      I hope Norwegian Christians will learn the lesson that importing Muslims is a dreadful mistake. Even if migrants appear initially grateful, they can reignite jihad at any moment.

    So is the insurance company going to pay out the $2.2 million or are they going to use the principle of subjugation to legally pursue a third-party? (mosque, etc.)

    After all, he’s been living in Norway for five years – he must have learned this barbaric behavior somewhere…

    • curious says

      Aug 21, 2020 at 9:02 pm

      *subrogation, after paying the insurance claim, and I wish the insurer would pursue the mosque etc.

      Whenever a Presidential candidate is asked about “reparations” for slavery, I keep hoping one will say “Yes, we should require mosques to pay reparations for the Barbaric Slavery that continued for 1,000 years until the Barbary Wars, and mosques should pay war reparations too.” In addition to killing and enslaving Europeans, Barbary State Muslims enslaved and killed more Africans than western slavery did. Surely, if anyone is entitled to reparations, then the non-Muslim world is entitled to reparations from Muslims.

      No one but Muslims continues to advocate slavery, so no one else should pay reparations for it, but Muslim countries continued slavery as per Islam until western countries made them stop (at least officially) in the 20th century. Wherever they can, e.g. the Islamic State, Muslims reimpose slavery, as per Islam.

      • Wellington says

        Aug 21, 2020 at 9:08 pm

        Indeed, curious, that would be a terrific response from a Presidential candidate. Perhaps a warm up to a new Evil Empire speech.

    Hey Mr Refugee. You can change the foreign or domestic policy every four years. It’s called a ‘vote’ and it happens at a public event called an ‘election’.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 22, 2020 at 11:10 pm

      Is “Rob” here suggesting that Shari’ah law be voted into Norway? Or is this a different Rob from the Muslim apologist who has shown up here recently?

  12. Infidel says

    Aug 23, 2020 at 12:05 am

    Koran is a HATE-MANUAL… A Church, a temple, a synagogue, a pagoda, is NOT!! That is the biggest difference this mad animal does not recognize and will never as long as that virus affects this creature’s brain

    Let’s forbid islam in Europe! End of discussion and send them ALL back to their countries they love so much..
    Good riddance and we have apartments for our own people, we have more money…and finally our culture, peace & quiet again…
