This man is “claiming he was upset over a Quran burning that, according to him, went unpunished.”
Of course it went unpunished. Norway is not (yet) a Sharia state. Burning the Qur’an or any other book is not illegal. This migrant assumes that Norway should be, and should now become, a Sharia state. Norwegian authorities are likely eventually to comply.
“Somali Man Who Torched Two Norwegian Churches Says It Was Revenge for Quran Burning,” Sputnik News, August 20, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The immigrant from Africa who set fire to two Norwegian churches, damaging one of them to the tune of $2.2 million, said he was grateful for the reception, but could not tolerate his religion being “trampled upon”.
A Somali citizen residing in Norway who set fire to the Dombås Church and the Sel Church in February 2020 has admitted his guilt in court, claiming he was upset over a Quran burning that, according to him, went unpunished.
The man is in his 20s and resident in Nord-Gudbrandsdalen, where both churches are located. He arrived in Norway in 2015 and first lived in an asylum shelter until receiving a residence permit. So far, he has not had a job in Norway, but has had several internships across the municipality.
By his own admission, he took action after he saw members of the anti-Islamic organisation Stop the Islamisation of Norway (SIAN) burn the Quran in the city of Kristiansand in the autumn of 2019.
“I got angry. The Quran means everything to us”, the accused said, as quoted by national broadcaster NRK.
The man said that he had lived in Dombås for a long time and had never before thought of doing something stupid. “On the contrary, I am grateful for how they have received me at Dombås”, he said. “But I started to check, and found out that the person who had set fire to the Koran, had not been punished. Then I got angry. I am a Muslim. I do not like anyone trampling on my religion, because I respect the religion of others”.
The man further explained that he bought a flammable liquid and matches and took action the same night. According to him, he broke a church window and threw the liquid inside followed by burning matches. The fire started inside the church, but soon spread to the spire, causing damages to the tune of NOK 20 million ($2.2 million)….
“I am very sorry, and I regret it. I should have responded to the burning of the Quran verbally, and not with action”, he said, assuring it was not his intention to harm Norwegian citizens….
