THE NORWAY POST: President of the Norwegian Storting (Parliament) and former Labour party leader, Thorbjoern Jagland, has strongly attacked his own party for its role in the ongoing debate on Islam, saying it is creating fear.
Jagland says the party's leadership is trying to create a fear that is not real, in order to capture votes.
Last week outgoing Labour party secretary, Martin Kolberg said in a speech that Labour would enter into a fight with what he called "radical Islam", but Jagland claims that Koberg does not even know what radical Islam actually is.
There is absolutely no threat from Islam in Norway, but it is quite possible to create a threat, Jagland said, about the latest leads from the party leadership.
Jagland also reacts to his own party trying copy the Progress Party in order to gain politically by "mixing concepts and ideas" and thereby creating fear. [Source: The Norway Post] NRK/ Rolleiv Solholm | Tuesday, March 17, 2009
