Oslo,Norway can ban niqab

The City of Oslo has received clearance from the Directorate for Primary and Secondary Education to forbid veils that cover all of the face but the eyes.
City Council leader will introduce a ban on this type of veil because he believes it makes it difficult for teachers when they cannot see their students' faces.

Teachers agree that education is more difficult when they cannot see facial expressions or the mouths of a student.
Norway becomes the third European country, after Sweden and France, to forbid the use of the niqab in schools.
My opinion in this case is that is a wrong decision...

Broken glass in sausage

Norway's dominant meat production cooperative Gilde goes from scandal to scandal.

Ten-year-old Joakim Karlsen bit into a two-centimeter long shard of glass while having smoked sausage from Gilde for dinner.
"My mouth started bleeding," Joakim told. The youngster says that Gilde sausages are not on his menu any more, especially at the school barbecue coming up.
Gilde instructed her to send in the sausage, packaging and piece of glass, but what angered her the most was the lack of an apology, and the impression that this was a mundane occurrence.
"Now that we were just starting to get over the E. coli (scandal), this happens. Think if a small child had eaten this sausage,"his mother said.

A Norwegian student lost his temper in China

A Norwegian university student abroad faces deportation after losing his temper during a soccer match.
The 25-year-old student at the University of Beijing completely lost control during a football match. After showering both the referee and spectators with abuse the Norwegian was shown the red card and ejected from the match.
The irritated Norwegian then responded by pulling down his shorts and showing the ref and crowd his buttocks. Both players and spectators were shocked by the gesture, newspaper Beijing News reports.
The vulgar display caused the match to be suspended and the student now faces punitive action, which includes the possibility of being deported.

Look at me!

Satanists not interested in 06.06.06

While Norway's churches are stepping up security in preparation for a date with associations to the beast of Revelations, Norwegian Satanists say that they have no plans to cause trouble.

Norway has a history of churches being torched, particularly the stave churches that are historical landmarks.
Fantoft stave church was burnt on 06.06.1992.
The first half of the 1990s witnessed a series of church fires, carried out by what some called an organized community, but in recent years he agrees that this organization has been absent.
I'll hope they stay away from the churches!!

Stave Church

10th-century missionaries to Norway concerned themselves with establishing chapels, churches and other ecclesiastical centers. Thus far, archaeological exploration has revealed traces of thirty-odd post churches built no later than 1200. Some of these early wooden churches disappeared due to neglect as well as fire and other natural disasters, but the rest were replaced by new constructions. Nevertheless, 28 of the stave churches built after the year 1100 still survive. This website presents information and research materials illuminating the medieval stave church from several perspectives: the architectural, from the carpenter’s point of view; the ecclesiastical, from the fervent Christian bishop’s point of view; and the secular, from the socially oriented patron’s point of view.
