Last week, a photograph that appeared to show six women wearing burqas on a bus sparked a heated debate in a private Facebook group for Norwegians critical of immigration.
For many members of the group, which is called “Fedrelandet viktigst” or “Fatherland first,” the image encapsulated the problems Norway was facing after an influx of Muslim immigrants in the past few years.
Some group members took the picture — posted with the comment, “what do people think of this?" — as proof that a ban was needed. More than 100 soon commented on it. “It looks really scary, should be banned. You can never know who is under there. Could be terrorists with weapons,” one user wrote, according to a translation from the Local website. Others described it as “frightening” and “tragic.”
However, when you look at the photograph above more closely, it may become apparent that the photo itself is irrelevant to any debate about Islam in Norway. Why? Well, those are not burqas. They're bus seats.

Like my Dad used to say, the only thing dumber than a dumb Swede is a smart Norwegian.
So, a burka is really just a seat cover?....................
An even stupider mistske is to allow Islam to get a foothold in the USA.
In Sweden, even the bus seats are required to wear Burkhas . . .
It’s easy to see the resemblance..........
Honest mistake. In some parts of the Muslim world they use women as bus seats.
so what? In the evening you may mistake a stick for a snake.
It doesn’t make snakes any less dangerous.
This is pure Alinsky, make fun of anyone concerned about Islam.
Marginalize any who dare to speak up and soon no one will.
Submit or Die
It’s the prime directive of Islam.
The Ministry of Propaganda and western governments are now openly assisting.
Where does the WP have the spare time to monitor Facebook accounts?
Probably from Facebook employees hired to stalk conservatives.
I can’t tell the difference. Both are covered in black cloth.
Oddly... their point is made fairly well.
But there is a difference. (The bus seats are more useful, more productive, more beautiful. And have more freedom than those in a burka.)
They look like some sort of death-angels. GHASTLY!
It is pretty funny, but I think this is far less egregious and destructive than showing images of muslims in western society and saying they fit right in.
You said it far better than I did.
Perfectly understandable case of mistaken identity.
I doubt this story. It reeks of fake news.
This may be fake news. What is the name of the ‘private facebook site?’ or can’t we get to it to verify?
