I thought that this story was a little weird because I cannot understand why the Norwegian security would be more concerned about a possible backlash as a result of terrorism against a radical Muslim population than about the actual potential for an act of terrorism.
A translation by Christian of this Norwegian article, "Frykter lynsjing av muslimer" in Nyheter.
- Norwegians are stupid and not good at integrating.This according to Norway's Police Security Service, which fears a lynching mood in case there will be a terror attack.
The Security Service fears that serious harm will be done to Norwegian Muslims in case of a terror attack in Norway.
- We are inexperienced and a bit stupid as regards diversity and a multicultural population, says head of Security Service Jørn Holme to nrknyheter.no.
- We confuse Islam and Islamism. Islamism is after all a very particular form of Islam. I believe many Norwegians mix it up completely.
- The Security Service is particularly worried about the possibility of extreme right-wing elements attacking Muslim compatriots, and that we will have a polarized population attacking and losing confidence in each other.
The minister of justice agrees with the head of Security Service.
- This is a preoccupation shared by all of us. Serious crimes like these create even more stigmatization and even more problems in connection with the preventive efforts, says Knut Storberget (social democrat) to nrknyheter.no.
Wednesday evening the head of Security Service for the first time particepated in a public discussion, arranged by the Muslim Students' Society. As reported by NRK previously this week, many Muslims think they are under surveillance and feel they have to face responsibility for what extreme Islamists do....
So why not actively cooperate, and help police find the "extreme Islamists"? If they were operating someplace known to me, that's what I would do. If they were operating in the name of something I believed in, I would make every effort to stop them, instead of claiming victim status for being under surveillance. Want to not be under surveillance? Take away the reason why anyone would be watching.
The Norwegian Security Police have absolutely no idea about the threat of terrorism from Jihadists who live amongst the Norwegians. It seems so very weird that what is labeled as extreme right wing share the same values as the Islamists, but this right wing element are more feared than those who are the most likely to cause extreme danger in Norway. The priorities are all wrong.
