NORWEGIAN ARMY CHIEF: Europe Needs To Destroy Islam If They Are Going To Survive
2016-03-28
[FREEDOMDAILY] Norwegian Army Chief Odin Johannessen warns that European countries must be reading and willing to fight against radical Islam in order to preserve the values that unite the continent.

"I think we must be ready to fight, both with words, actions -- and if necessary weapons -- to preserve the country and the values we have in common," Johannessen said in a speech to the Oslo Military Society on Monday.

Citing the Islamist attacks in Gay Paree, Johannessen said that, "Europe can no longer expect to live in peace and security, without having to defend its interests and values."

The military chief went on to insist that well trained and adequately equipped soldiers would be crucial.

"You can not win wars without having people on the ground," he asserted.

Johannessen’s remarks mirror similar sentiments expressed by other military officials in Europe.
