2 men arrested in Norway after attack on critic of Islam
2007-04-17
Police arrested two men Monday on suspicion of assaulting an outspoken critic of Islam after she publicly called for a revision of the Quran's view of women.

Noor, who is deputy leader of a Somali women's group in Norway, said she was assaulted by seven or eight Somali men outside an Oslo pub in the early hours of Thursday morning. The attack came after Norwegian media published an interview with her on April 10, in which she said it was time for Islam to revise its view of women.
Kadra Noor, 26, emerged into the public spotlight in 2000, when her secret recordings of imams in Norway supporting female circumcision, contrary to some of their public statements, was aired as part of a national television documentary. Noor, who is deputy leader of a Somali women's group in Norway, said she was assaulted by seven or eight Somali men outside an Oslo pub in the early hours of Thursday morning. The attack came after Norwegian media published an interview with her on April 10, in which she said it was time for Islam to revise its view of women. "The Quran's view of women should be interpreted again," she was quoted as telling Norway's largest newspaper, Verdens Gang. "I miss a debate over the rights and duties modern Muslim women have."

Noor and other witnesses said the attackers, some shouting religious slogans, knocked Noor down, surrounded her and kicked her. She suffered cracked ribs and other injuries. "I was terrified. While I lay on the asphalt, they kicked me and screamed that I had offended the Quran," she was quoted as telling VG after the attack. She told the newspaper she was certain the attack was motivated by her comments in the news media.

Police said two men in their 20s were arrested in Oslo on suspicion of gross assault and battery against Noor. The two, whose names were withheld, were arrested after a witness recognized them and called the police. The Islamic Council in Norway piously condemned the attack.

#5  WTF is wrong with those guys?

Consider that the Koran, Bible and Torah all share Abrahamic origins. This includes the garden mythos whereby woman is regarded as luring man into temptation and bringing about their fall from grace.

Muslim cultures blame nearly every single male shortcoming upon women. It is why they must be covered so that their alluring appearance does not cause impure thoughts or inflame men's desires. Towards that end, genital mutilation is intended to prevent a woman from seeking pleasure elsewhere and sullying her marriage.

When you start from the premise that women are inherently corrupt, then any sort of vile and brutal treatment is justified.

Even without jihadist terrorism, Islam's institutionalized abuse of women would still render it invalid as any sort of true religion. It is a cult or political ideology, but the term religion, in its honorable and spiritual meaning, simply does not apply.

#4  This Muslim thing about clitorectomy is seriously strange. I like it when the women get pleasure from sex; it increases my pleasure. WTF is wrong with those guys?

#3  Time to get medieval with the Orcs. Beat a woman: You die. Make threats of death: You die.

#2  No surprise. Muhammad explained in the quran that husbands should beat their wives.

The problem with Scandinavia is their liberal tolerance towards the meteor animals. Something that is well mirrored by their descendants in Minneapolis. Which is why the MAC 11-0 vote against the Somalia cabbies was so welcoming as well as surprising.

The Trib did an online survey which blew back some amazing results. 92% said no special treatment for Muzzies in Minnesota. Something I sadly don't think we will ever see in Norway.

I'm sure Mike and Depot have some interesting views on our overseas cousins.

#1  Pussies of Islam believe it's their 'civil right' to beat women to death.
