Norway’s migration and integration minister has faced calls to resign after telling the country’s Muslim immigrants they must adapt to a society in which “we eat pork, drink alcohol and show our face.” Sylvi Listhaug, a member of the country’s populist, anti-immigrant Progress Party, made the comments in a Facebook post Monday.
“I think those who come to Norway need to adapt to our society,” she wrote. “Here we eat pork, drink alcohol and show our face. You must abide by the values, laws and regulations that are in Norway when you come here.”
Listhuag was appointed to the role last December as part of the country’s governing coalition, which also comprises the center-right Conservative Party. In the space of a year, Norway’s number of new immigrants has fallen from a high of close to 31,000 in 2015 to an expected 3,550 by the end of this year.
While the number of asylum seekers has dropped in 2016 across Europe, Norway, which is not part of the European Union, has also instituted controversial policies. In April, the country’s authorities started offering a “bonus” of 10,000 krone ($1,200) to leave the country.
Last year, those fleeing war-torn Syria accounted for a third of asylum seekers arriving in Norway.
Listhaug’s post has been liked more than 20,000 times but has also sparked an immediate backlash. A member of the opposition Labor Party pointed out the contradiction between her words and the title of her position.

trump effect. stuff it.
Norway is a special case. They have oil and do not need to follow at the feet of Germany.
1000 years ago, Vikings used to fight Arabs as mercenaries for the Eastern Roman Empire. They could do it again on their home ground.
TS
I’m glad they’re speaking up. Be proud, be loud, or be walked over and kicked around, as in Merkel’s land.
Yea,,,team NORWAY
Let’s hope that the Viking spirit prevails.
She has bigger balls than most Euroweenies.
I hope Norway strengthens firearms rights for their citizens.
“A member of the opposition Labor Party pointed out the contradiction between her words and the title of her position.”
Dear opposition idiot. Maybe it’s a translation problem but her title isn’t “migration and integration minister who will give them anything they want and screw Norwegians” as the rest of Europe does. Sounds like her job is to manage the process. Where does it say that the process has to be stacked completely in their favor?
since when in history has the european community been required to choose to be infiltrated by jihadist muslims from the middle east...why would a peaceful group of western nations choose to destroy themselves by bringing in tens of thousands of people who are devout Christian-haters...what the hell is wrong with them
But you will not do so any longer after a moslem takeover.
Sounds like a totally reasonable expectation. Norwegian are more patriotic than Swedes.
Islam is a war plan.
Not for long.
