The cross has to go before the asylum seekers arrive

Christian camps being offered as shelter for asylum seekers are told by the authorities to remove all Christian symbols.

Due to the large influx of asylum seekers to Norway, UDI (Immigration authorities) has found it necessary to lodge asylum seekers in more places than ordinary reception centres.

The Norwegian Missionary Society (NMS), operates several Christian camp sites, which they offer to rent to UDI.

UDI says yes please, but on one condition.

All Christian symbols must be removed before the asylum seekers can move in, says UDI, according to the newspaper Dagen.

- We want the accommodation offered to be religiously neutral, says Vibeke Schjem, press advisor in UDI, to Dagbladet.

She explains that this means that objects should not show signs of belonging to a particular religion or belief, because the housing will be used by people who seek asylum in Norway, regardless of origin, political views, religion or belief.

NMS has agreed to the deal and are now forced to take down the cross and other Christian symbols.

- It is not something we do gladly, but we have chosen to show charity for the people coming. I do not think the asylum seekers would necessarily react to the symbols, but we have to follow UDI's guidelines, says communication manager at NMS to Dagbladet.

Roy Steffensen from the Progress Party reacts to the demand from UDI.

- I understand that asylum centres should be politically and religiously neutral, but I interpret it so that the camps would not engage in active ministry, which is said they will respect. The cross however, is not just a religious symbol, but also a part of our heritage and part of our flag. I do not know what the background of this regulation is for UDI, but if they fear that people are offended by being surrounded by Christian symbols, then perhaps those people applied for asylum in the wrong country, he writes in an e-mail to Dagbladet.

So let me understand this. They want to come to our country to start a new life and we have to give up our culture? Please tell me more about how our schools and traditions have to change to fit your needs.

OK, but replace the symbols with the Thor Hammer symbol. That’s fair, no?

They must disavow Islam and convert to Christianity before receiving any refugee relief or admission into any country .
If they refuse ; send them right back to where they came from. Via air drop

Reminiscent of the old Ghengis Khan days, adopt our “government” or die.

Perhaps this would be much more fair:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

There seems to be a rebirth of Quisling-type idiots. in Norway.

Close your borders you stupid people before you find yourselves way up north sleeping with the reindeer.

The EU is godless, so the leftists in charge will use any excuse to get rid of Christian symbols. They are behaving as though Shiria Law has already been implemented.

They would not do that if they were capable of connecting the dots. Christians are in the way of their version of a perfect world that, for them, features euthanasia, abortion on demand, and same sex marriage.

Love to see how muslims and all their apologists on the Left would react to a similar requirement.

Next it will be the national flags of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and The UK. The crosses will be stripped out to bow down in submission before the savages who will gladly slice a few crusader necks.

At which point, the offer of use of the Christian camps should be withdrawn.
The Muzzies need to know who is offering them CHARITY.
