DAR AL HARB-E.U.-SWEDEN/NORWAY: MOSLEM TERROR FINANCING IN SWEDEN & NORWAY

Swedish, Norwegian police arrest 6 in anti-terror raids

Swedish and Norwegian authorities cracked down on terror financing on Thursday, arresting six people in what Swedish investigators said were coordinated raids in Stockholm and Oslo.

Three men arrested early Thursday in the Swedish capital were suspected of funneling money to terror organizations in Somalia, Prosecutor Ronnie Jacobsson told The Associated Press.

The men — all Swedish citizens — also faced suspicions of preparing terrorist acts, which Jacobsson said "could consist of financially promoting a terror crime."

Just minutes before the Swedish operation was announced, Norway's police intelligence agency PST said it had arrested three people in separate locations in Oslo on suspicion of financing terror.

It did not reveal their nationalities. Newspaper VG reported on its Web site that they were Somali immigrants, but did not cite its sources.

DAR AL HARB-NORWAY: 'MODERATE' MOSLEMS ARE GOING TO BECOME PROBLEMATIC IN NORWAY

Islamic extremists pose rising challenge to Norway, police intelligence agency says

Violence by Islamic extremists will pose a significant challenge to Norwegian security in coming years, partly due to the Nordic nation's participation in NATO-led peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan, the national police intelligence agency said Tuesday.

"Norway's contribution of forces to Afghanistan is currently a key reason that Norwegian interests are seen as legitimate targets by Islamic extremists," according an unclassified summary of the agency's annual assessment of threats to Norway.

Norway closed its Kabul embassy on Feb. 10 and Norway's state radio network NRK and other news media reported that its diplomats went into hiding in Afghanistan after being alerted to terrorism plot against its diplomatic station.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed that a terror threat prompted it to closed the embassy, but refused to give details. It also refused comment on the reports that the embassy had also been evacuated or say where the diplomats had gone, citing security concerns for the staff.

The threat followed a Jan. 15 attack by militants on a Kabul, Afghanistan, hotel in which a reporter for the Oslo newspaper Dagbladet was killed. Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere was also there, but later said he did not think he was the target.

Norway has been singled out at least twice as a potential target by the al-Qaida terror network. It recently confirmed it would send more troops to the NATO force in Afghanistan starting next month. The deployment would increase the Norwegian contingent to about 700, including special forces.

In its summary released Tuesday the Norwegian Police Security Service agency said the threat to Norway, which has so far been spared serious terror attacks at home, has to be seen in a European perspective. It said increased radicalization in Norway "makes the threat picture less predictable" than is used to be.

The agency said the most common contribution to possible terrorism by people in Norway is likely to remain funding of extremists abroad.

However, it said experience from other European countries suggests that an increasing number of Muslims in Norway could adopt extremist views, "in the worst case supporting or participating in terror acts in Norway."

DAR AL HARB - NORWAY: JIHAD RECRUITMENT IN NORWAY

Report: Islamic extremists sought to recruit terrorists in Norway

Islamic terror networks tried to recruit young Muslims in Norway to launch attacks in other countries, the head of police intelligence said in an interview published Monday.

"We have some worrisome reports of older, manipulative Islamic extremists here in this country trying to motivate young people to join jihad attacks abroad," Joern Holme said, according to the Oslo newspaper Aftenposten.

The government responded to the remarks by saying it would speed up passage of a law banning recruitment for terrorist activities, but did not give a deadline.



What is that law going to do?!? LOL...

Like a jihadist gives one flying butt monkey about some infidel law...

Gawd, how stupid...

DAR AL HARB/ISLAM - NORWAY/ISRAEL/HOLY LAND: NORWAY & HAMAS MAY TALK

Envoys may talk with Hamas
By TOVAH LAZAROFF AND HERB KEINON

Norway intends to maintain contact with Hamas at the envoy level, but its ministers do not plan to meet with the Gaza government's representatives, Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store has told The Jerusalem Post.

This policy had been widely misunderstood during his visit to Israel, included in the media, which mistakenly reported that Norway had cut off all ties with Hamas, after that group's violent split with Fatah in June.

Israeli officials, who had emerged from Store's meeting with President Shimon Peres and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Monday believing that Norway would stop its contacts with Hamas, expressed dissatisfaction that the contact will continue, though not at the ministerial level.

One diplomatic source said Store's clarification that some Norwegian contact with Hamas would still take place was "disappointing."

Israel regards Hamas as a terrorist group bent on its destruction. Since June 2006 it has asked the international community not to normalize relations with Hamas until that group recognizes Israel, ceases terrorist activities and agrees to abide by past agreements.

"We think any recognition of Hamas is counterproductive," the diplomatic official said, and that it "pulls the rug out from under the legitimate Palestinian Authority government."

But Store, speaking with the Post at a Jerusalem hotel late Monday night, defended his country's position.

"Norway for 30 years has maintained a policy of keeping a broad network of contacts in this region" and kept up a dialogue with states or groups even when it disagrees with their policies, he said.

Store did not meet with Hamas officials on his two-day trip to Israel. But, he said,
"If my [envoys] come across representatives from different groups [including Hamas], they are still allowed to make contact. I think it is wrong not to maintain contact to get the full picture of the situation."

Norway holds to this principle even though it has reason to be upset with Hamas, Store said. Norway was one of the architects of the Oslo Accords that defined Israeli-Palestinian relations in the 1990s.

DAR AL HARB - NORWAY: SOMALI IMMIGRANTS IN NORWAY SUPPORT FEMALE CIRCUMCISION

Minnesota has a large Somali population (you may have heard of the cab drivers trying to inflict islam on unsuspecting passengers at the Twin Cities airport...)...

Are they also practicing FEMALE CIRCUMCISION?!?

I can certainly attest to the rather large & obvious quantity of walking "head to toe bags", large and small (as in adult & child size)...etc...etc...

Will the young "head to toe bags" experience 'female circumcision' on American soil?!?

I am sure Minnesotan's are enraptured with the strides in multi-culturalism when they see the walking "head to toe bags" afterall, they did vote in the first moslem Congressman, Keith Ellison...

A man that has some rather dubious associations with Jew hating islamic associations...

Ohhh well, who cares that the United States is being islamized on a daily basis...

ALL IS FAIR IN THE JIHAD & LOVE OF ALLAH ! ! ! !


Norway: Somalis support female circumcision

Many Somali women who have arrived in Norway recently defend female circumcision and their reasoning is more and more often taking a religious character.

Minister of Children and Equality Affairs Karita Bekkemellem says that this group is not informed enough about health and Norwegian law.

DAR AL HARB - NORWAY: NORWAY'S DHIMMI "CHURCH OF NORWAY" DROPS FEMALE PRIESTS FROM THE MATCH TO SATISFY THEIR MOSLEM OVERLORDS DEMANDS

Muslim-Christian Soccer Match Fouls Out
Dispute Over Playing Of Women Priests Sidelines Interfaith Game At Religious Cooperation Conference

A soccer game bringing Muslim imams and Christian priests "shoulder to shoulder" on a field in Norway was canceled Saturday because the teams could not agree on whether women priests should take part.

The game was to mark the end of a daylong "Shoulder to Shoulder" conference in Oslo that encouraged religious dialogue between the two faiths.

Church of Norway spokesman Olav Fykse Tveit said differences began when the imams refused to play against a mixed-gender team of priests because it would have gone against their religious beliefs in avoiding close physical contact with women.

"We found that out two days before, but because we thought it would be a nice conclusion of the conference we didn't want to call it off, so we decided to stage an all-mens team game instead," he said.

But when the church decided to drop its female players, the priest team captain walked out in protest.

Just hours before Saturday's scheduled game, the church released a statement saying it had called it off because it was sending the wrong signal.

"We realize now that it will be wrong to have a priest team without women... The reactions we have had today shows us that this is being interpreted as a gender-political issue. This is why we cannot go through with the soccer match."

DAR AL HARB / ISLAM - NORWAY / IRAN: NORWAY: "WE DO NOT SUPPORT UNILATERAL SANCTIONS TOWARD IRAN"

Norway opposes US sanctions against Iran, says oil minister

Norway opposes attempts by the US to punish foreign energy companies that do business in Iran's oil and gas sector, according to the country's Energy Minister Odd Roger Enoksen.

"We do not support unilateral sanctions toward Iran," Enoksen said about the US extraterritorial law dating from 1995 that threatens sanctions against energy companies that invest more than Dlrs 20 million a year in Iran.

"This is a commercial decision that has to be made by Norwegian companies," he was quoted as saying by the Norwegian Upstream weekly after meeting US Assistant Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Business Affairs, Daniel Sullivan.

The minister said that Sullivan "pointed out the US view on the Iran case, and investments from the Norwegian companies in this region," but that he did not specifically ask that Norwegian energy companies stay out of Iran, nor indicate sanctions will be imposed.

"They just wanted to inform me of the US government's view on the situation in Iran," he said, coming at a time when Washington is seeking to racket up sanctions against Iran over its civilian nuclear program.

Following the passing of the controversial US law, the EU successfully obtained a waiver for European companies investing in Iran's oil industry.

Norway's oil group Statoil subsequently signed a contract in 2002 to develop Iran's South Pars natural gas project and up to the end of last year invested some Dlrs 400 million.

DAR AL HARB - NORWAY: WE SUPPORT HAMAS SAYS THE NORWEIGAN GOVERNMENT

Norway recognizes new Palestinian government

OSLO, Norway: Norway recognized the new Palestinian government just minutes after it was approved Saturday, and said it would normalize relations with the Hamas-Fatah coalition.

The Scandinavian country became the first to lift restrictions imposed on the previous Hamas-led government as part of an international boycott.

"Norway welcomes the formation of the Palestinian unity government," Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said in a statement, adding the coalition was "taking important steps towards complying with the international community's demands."

"Norway will thus on this basis re-establish political and economic relations with the Palestinian government," he said.

Norway is not a member of the European Union, but is a key player in Middle East peacemaking and one of the most steadfast contributors to the Palestinian Authority. Secret negotiations in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, led to a historic Israeli-Palestinian peace accord in 1993.

"Norway expects the Palestinian authorities to respect basic international standards as regards compliance with previously concluded agreements, renunciation of violence and recognition of Israel's right to exist," Stoere said.

He also called on Israel to "take a constructive approach to the Unity Government, for example by releasing withheld Palestinian revenues from taxes and fees and by increasing the freedom of movement for the Palestinian population."

Israel has said it will not do business with the coalition.

"We expect the international community, the U.S., the EU, to look clearly at the new government," Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisin said, noting that Norway was not an EU member.

"With all the desire we all have to assist the Palestinian people, this new government does not stand for any of the international principles that the international community itself defined," she said.

DAR AL HARB - NORWAY: PIGS FEET & SQUEALING PIG NOISES

Pig tactics threatened
Norwegian anti-immigration politicians in Bergen have promised to chase off Muslims with pigs feet and squealing noises if Bergen's central square is used for prayers.

The leader of the Demokratene, an extreme populist party formed by outcasts of the populist Progress Party, Vidar Kleppe, said Wednesday that he backed the remarks of city council representative Kenneth Rasmussen.


Rasmussen reacted with threats of porcine tactics after Labour Party politician Jerad Abdelmajid said that the city's Muslims could take their Friday prayers in Torgallmenningen, Bergen's central square, when they will be without a mosque from March 31. Building of a new mosque is behind schedule.

Abdelmajid's announcement provoked heated public debate.

"I completely agree with Kenneth Rasmussen that Muslims having their Friday prayers with their butts in the air in the city center is no solution. They can find other places," Kleppe told news agency NTB.

Kenneth Rasmussen told newspaper Dagbladet's web site that Bergen residents should hang up pig's feet and play pig squeals over loudspeakers to scare off Muslims, and claimed these tactics worked when he was a soldier for the United Nations in Somalia and Lebanon in the 1990s.

Kleppe was willing to admit that this was provocative, but that it was correct of his party colleague to propose vigorous solutions.

"It is healthy with lively debates... his main point is surely that Bergen's residents do not appreciate Friday prayers in the city's main square," Kleppe said.

"This will do more damage than good. A threat does not justify another threat, no matter who proposes it," entrepreneur Shahzad Rana told newspaper VG.

"Here there have been provocations from both sides. Is it not possible for them to sit down and talk?" Rana asked.

DAR AL HARB - NORWAY: NORTH AFRICAN RAPE SUSPECTS & THEIR POLICE SKETCHES

Two men behind recent rape attempts
Oslo police claim they are now reasonably sure that there are two men behind the sexual assaults in Oslo over the last weekend.

"We are beginning to be reasonably certain that there are two perpetrators behind the three attempted rapes in downtown Oslo over the weekend," police lawyer Trude Sparre told newspaper Dagbladet's web site.

Police previously believed there was one man behind the three attacks, but several factors indicate a pair of assailants.

The attempted rape in Kirkegårdsgata (gata=street) is said to be markedly different from the two in Lakkegata and Trondheimsveien. In the latter two the victim was threatened with a knife, which was not the case in the Kirkegårdsgata attack.

The 25-year-old woman who was the attempted rape victim in Kirkegårdsgata was questioned again by police on Tuesday. Her description of her assailant varies from that given by the other two women.

"She had a completely different description of the man. It is still a case of an African person, but he has broader lips and nose. He has a bit more facial hair and rougher skin," Sparre said.

On Tuesday afternoon police released a sketch of the man then believed to be behind all three attacks. He is described as a man of African origin in his 20s. Now police are working on a new sketch that they hope to make public on Wednesday afternoon.

A door-to-door effort with the sketch has given the police a good response. Police have yet to find a man considered a key witness after he intervened in the Lakkegata attack and hit the assailant.


and an article from 2001, can you just imagine the crime rates now?!?

Oslo rape statistics shock

Two out of three charged with rape in Norway's capital are immigrants with a non-western background according to a police study. The number of rape cases is also rising steadily.The study is the first where the crime statistics have been analyzed according to ethnic origin. Of the 111 charged with rape in Oslo last year, 72 were of non-western ethnic origin, 25 are classified as Norwegian or western and 14 are listed as unknown.

Rape charges in the capital are spiraling upwards, 40 percent higher from 1999 to 2000 and up 13 percent so far this year.

Nine out of ten cases do not make it to prosecution, most of them because police do not believe the evidence is sufficient to reach a conviction.

Police Inspector Gunnar Larsen of Oslo's Vice, Robbery and Violent crime division says the statistics are surprising - the rising number of rape cases and the link to ethnic background are both clear trends. But Larsen does not want to speculate on the reasons behind the worrying developments.

While 65 percent of those charged with rape are classed as coming from a non-western background, this segment makes up only 14.3 percent of Oslo's population. Norwegian women were the victims in 80 percent of the cases, with 20 percent being women of foreign background.
Larsen said that since this was the initial study examining ethnic make-up there were no existing figures to put the numbers into context.


"Meanwhile, it is our general experience that this is an increasing tendency. We note this by the number of time we need to use interpreters in the course of an investigation," Larsen said.


You can read "non-Western immigrants" as moslems, I am just not sure if they are from North Africa and in the first article when they say that he is of African origin, you can also read that as moslem.

If this is a problem in Norway, it is a problem in Sweden, in France, in Germany and all across Europe especially since RAPE is the moslem way...

DAR AL HARB-NORWAY: SOMALIS WILL LEAVE NORWAY TO WAGE JIHAD AGAINST ETHIOPIA...

Islamist support from Oslo
Many of the Somalians living in Oslo strongly support the Islamist regime now on the run in their homeland.

"If the Ethiopians continue to occupy Somalia, we won't sit here. We will go back to Somalia and fight as one!" says Zakharia Ahmed, banging his fist on the table.

The scene is the Café Bolsho in Oslo's downtown immigrant district Grønland. Dozens of compatriots are gathered round in the noisy café, and Ahmed clearly has full support. "Yes, we will go back and fight," the others shout.

Aftenposten has chosen this Somali café at random. The conversation is animated, takes place in Somali, English and Norwegian, and here there is total agreement.
