Zuerst lese ich bei littlegreenfootballs folgendes:

On February 10, in Oslo, came a dramatic capitulation that seemed a classic case of sharia in action. For days, Velbjorn Selbekk, editor of the tiny Christian periodical Magazinet – the first publication to reprint the now-famous Muhammed cartoons from the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten – had firmly resisted pressure by Muslim extremists (who made death threats) and by the Norwegian establishment (which urged him to give in).

But then, on that morning – the day before a planned mass demonstration against the cartoons – Norway’s Minister of Labor and Social Inclusion, Bjarne Hakon Hanssen, hastily called a press conference at a major government office building in Oslo.

There, to the astonishment of his supporters, Selbekk issued an abject apology for reprinting the cartoons. At his side, accepting his act of contrition on behalf of 46 Muslim organizations and asking that all threats now be withdrawn, was Mohammed Hamdan, head of Norway’s Islamic Council. In attendance were members of the Norwegian cabinet and the largest assemblage of imams in Norway’s history.

It was a picture right out of a sharia courtroom: the dhimmi prostrating himself before the Muslim leader, and the leader pardoning him – and, for good measure, declaring Selbekk to be henceforth under his protection, as if it were he, Hamdan, and not the Norwegian police, that held in his hands the security of citizens in Norway.

Die Norwegische Regierung hat jetzt also aus Angst vor Demonstrationen und Unruhen, vor grossem Publikum und mit Hilfe des Verlegers, um Vergebung gebeten. Wir wurden eben Zeuge, wie die Pressefreiheit eine herbe Niederlage gegen den Islamismus eingesteckt hat.


Dann lese ich bei "The Statesman" noch unglaublicheres:

An Indian sailor was allegedly beaten to death by his colleagues on board a Norwegian oil tanker in international waters off the coast of Fujairah in the UAE, after a fight ensued among the seamen after an argument over the cartoon issue, a media report said.

Officials confirmed the death of 31-year-old Sudheer Nonia Jagannathan, of Mumbai, but refused to comment on the incident. “We have been informed about the death. Our officials visited Fujairah Hospital and collected the details. Investigation is on and the consulate will render all help to repatriate the body,” an Indian official told Khaleej Times. The entire crew aboard the ship was from India. It was coming from New Manglore in Karnataka and heading for Fujairah with chemicals. The deceased worked as a fitter on the ship. The captain of the tanker has denied any foul play. He and his crew members were remanded in custody of Fujairah Police, reports said.

Ich dachte zuerst es könne sich da nur um eine Ente handeln. Ich habe die Geschichte aber bei Zahlreichen anderen Zeitungen auch gefunden. Erschreckend wäre die Vorstellung, aufgebrachte Islamisten könnten einen Tanker voll mit Chemikalien unbemerkt in ihre Hände bringen. Man stelle sich vor, in New York, Genua oder in einer anderen Grossstadt, würde ein voller Tanker in die Luft fliegen. Was ist bloss in Norwegen los?
