This comes after Ukrainian refugees were given free public transport and Muslim migrants complained. Yet the two situations are not equivalent, as the author explains below. It’s always a matter of special accommodation for supremacists. Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate:
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).
The caliph Umar said the jizya payments from the dhimmis were the source of the Muslims’ livelihood:
“Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama at-Tamimi: We said to `Umar bin Al-Khattab, ‘O Chief of the believers! Advise us.’ He said, ‘I advise you to fulfill Allah’s Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.)’” (Bukhari 4.53.388)
UK jihad preacher Anjem Choudary said in February 2013:
“We are on Jihad Seekers Allowance, We take the Jizya (protection money paid to Muslims by non-Muslims) which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the Kafir (non-Muslim), isn’t it? So this is normal situation. They give us the money. You work, give us the money. Allah Akbar, we take the money. Hopefully there is no one from the DSS (Department of Social Security) listening. Ah, but you see people will say you are not working. But the normal situation is for you to take money from the Kuffar (non-Muslim) So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.”
“All asylum seekers receive free public transport in Oslo and Viken,” translated from “Alle asylsøkere får gratis kollektivtransport i Oslo og Viken,” by Julie Dahle, Human Rights Service, April 25, 2023:
A year ago, Yasir Ahmed, head of Equality, Inclusion and Networks (LIN) and former board member of the Islamic Council of Norway, appeared on NRK Debate and claimed that it is discriminatory against Muslims that Ukrainian refugees are allowed to travel for free on buses and trains in Norway. The rant about discrimination was obviously profitable. From 2 May, all asylum seekers can travel for free with public transport in Raymond Johansen’s Oslo and all of Viken.
They got what they wanted. NTB announced on Tuesday morning that asylum seekers from all corners of the world will now be allowed to travel for free in the most densely populated areas in the country.
Until now, the offer has only applied to Ukrainian refugees. The offer applies to journeys with Ruter, Brakar and Østfold public transport, Klassekampen writes.
“We want to give a handshake to everyone who comes to our country, who often have empty hands and find themselves in a difficult life situation,” says Sirin Stav (MDG), city councilor for the environment and transport in Oslo.
The offer will be a trial scheme that will last for one year. However, the scheme will not apply to undocumented refugees, as it will be difficult to implement such a scheme in practice if you do not have any documentation that can prove your status.
You can of course choose to call it a handshake to people in a difficult life situation, but you can also call it forgiveness for yet another special Muslim demand, because that is in reality what it is. It is outright political condoning of the claims made by Ahmed and his ilk; that it is unfair that Vy and Ruter offer free travel for Ukrainian refugees as long as Syrians and Afghans who are already here are not allowed to travel for free.
It is quite obvious that there is a difference between being in active flight and being a resident with society’s subsequent financial benefits and access to welfare benefits. Being a refugee is, of course, burdensome no matter where you flee from, but when you have arrived in a country that looks after you, allows you to have family reunification, ensures that you have a roof over your head, that your children have nursery and school places, and that pays a living wage for you, even if you neither have a job nor know the language, then the equality requirement for free transport is perceived as strikingly unfair when you compare yourself to a group that has just escaped a rain of bombs and is has just arrived in the country.
It is not only perceived as unfair, the demand to get free public transport is perceived as a petty demand driven by envy. After all, Norway has opened its doors to MENA migrants, mainly economic ones, giving them a safe haven and an opportunity to live free, safe lives.
When MDG puts on the “we are the nicest” hat and gives in to the demands, it should be with a certain aftertaste. It cannot be ignored that there are several differences between MENA migrants and Ukrainians. The former come from Muslim countries, far outside our cultural circle, but they did not come exclusively as refugees, either.
Another difference is that the Ukrainians consist mainly of women and children, in contrast to the predominantly large proportion of men who come from the MENA countries. When all asylum seekers are now to receive free transport, there is an additional aspect that cannot be ignored. The image that undeniably appears in people’s consciousness is that of grown men who want to take the place of women and children on buses and trains.
Women and children, real refugees with passports in their inner pockets, who have their men from 18 to 60 fighting in their homeland, could not be treated a little extra. It is a petty “goodness.”
Kesselman says
”The EU and its member states are intensifying efforts to establish an effective, humanitarian, and safe European migration policy.”
This excerpt from the European Council means that effectively lets masses from the MENA countries enter without vetting. The liberal lefty elite has by this statement declared war on its own ingenious people.—The Norwegian step to favorite Muslim invaders is just a follow-up.

Another step down the slippery slope to Isloamization. KEN

abu taleb says
If the western governments want to increase the population for long term survival of their countries, they should import non muslim people. Instead they pick the worst people (muslims) to replace their diminishing people. Very stupid.
OLD GUY says
If they want to increase the population, give incentives to young families to produce more children. My guess it would be safer and cheaper than bringing in all those young freeloading muslim men and boys. But that would interfere with someones making money off of the migration process.
James Lincoln says
Yes, OLD GUY.
That’s the model that Hungary is using.
