Britain 'giving in to sharia councils' says Norway's anti-immigration leader
The Daily Telegraph ^ | 01 Sep 2013 | Richard Orange, Oslo

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Siv Jensen, the 44-year-old leader of the Progress party who cites Baroness Thatcher as her inspiration, said: "What I have seen that the UK has done is to give in to the claims of sharia councils, and I don't think we should give into that. In Norway we have one law, and that is the Norwegian law."

Miss Jensen, who is unmarried, said Britain was suffering the results of earlier mistakes in its immigration policy.

"I see some problems arising – You've had problems with riots, you've had problems with radical groups who aren't very fond of democratic systems and freedom of speech, and I think those are criteria that you really have to stick to in the modern world."

Miss Jensen's party has grown to become Norway's third largest since it was launched in the 1970s, pushing a libertarian economic and social policy, combined with a vehemently anti-immigrant, anti-Islamic stand.

Ahead of parliamentary elections this Sunday, she could now enter into coalition for the first time with the more centrist Conservatives, who hold a wafer thin poll lead over their rivals Labour.

"We can't celebrate Christmas in school, we can't sing Christmas Carols," he told the Telegraph. "This is a small part of our culture, which is being washed away gradually, and its very painful. We gave them a home, and now it's us who are having to adapt to their culture." It is happening here as well.. "We can't celebrate Christmas in school, we can't sing Christmas Carols,"

With Progressives running the country, did they expect something else to happen? If you absolutely have to have failure, not just failure, but catastrophic failure ... then call a Progressive ...

The epitaph of Western Civilization will most likely read: "We didn't want to offend anyone..."

When a Norwegian is scolding the U.K., you know things have taken a turn for the surreal.

The West is proving to be far too weak in defending its culture. The Islamists know this and are acting accordingly.

I don't see the West even trying to defend its culture. I see capitulation and indeed in many ways, a welcoming of the perverted "religion" Islam. Is that how one would describe the ass kissing of Muslims?
