Might As Well Give Asylum To Nazis
VG, TV2 and Dagbladet report today that 7 members of the Taliban have been granted asylum in Norway during the last 12 months. One of the men admits to having worked as a torturer for the Taliban, but he was granted asylum in Norway as he comes from a part of Afghanistan that is not considered safe. Ironically the area will be a little bit safer now that the Taliban torturer has left Afghanistan to live on welfare benefits in Norway.
While there are not many Nazis around anymore, I assume Norway will be equally welcoming to war criminals from other parts of the world. In my May 17 blog entry, I commented on a former Taliban health minister that has been living on welfare in Norway since 2001. During this time, he has established his own terrorist network in between beating up his young daughters.
While the Nazis are mainly gone, the Taliban are unfortunately going strong in different parts of the world. Check out this March 2009 video from CNN:

100% Of Rapes In Oslo Committed By Foreigners
The police in Oslo reported some very impressive statistics today. Of the 41 rapes that were reported in Oslo during the past three years, 100% were committed by non-Western immigrants. According to the police, most of the men were from African countries or Kurdish immigrants. All the big newspapers in Norway are reporting on this story, including Dagbladet and VG.
In a related story, VG reports that an Egyptian man is having his Norwegian citizenship rescinded after he was convicted of raping and attempted rapes of 8 different women in Oslo, one of whom later committed suicide. Interestingly, the man was originally granted asylum in Norway due to him being homosexual and therefore at risk of being killed in Egypt. While he apparently lived together with a Norwegian man, at the same time he managed to father three children with two different Norwegian women.
Living with one guy and sleeping with two Norwegian women would normally be sufficient to keep any man busy. However, this Egyptian guy also managed to rape 5 women, attempted to rape three other women, and to top it all of also had sexual relations with a girl under the age of 16. The police is calling him one of the worst rapists of all time in Norway.
While prostitution was made illegal in Norway at the beginning of the year, Norwegian politicians probably want to rethink this decision. Perhaps the solution to the rape situation in Norway would be to get the prostitutes back on the street. Upon arrival to Norway, new immigrants could get discounted or free prostitution vouchers to use while in the country. Or perhaps it would be more politically correct to teach new immigrants how to pick up women in night clubs. Some free drink coupons and pick up lines would perhaps do the trick. Giving them a free copy of The Game probably would not hurt either.

4000 Missing Norwegian Children
According articles in Dagbladet and VG today, almost 4000 children are missing from school in Norway. These children are assumed to have been sent back to the home countries of their parents, many of whom ironically came as refugees to Norway from countries such as Gambia, Pakistan and Somalia. The articles single out Somalia in particular, and mention examples of big groups of siblings that have simply been dropped off in Somalia.
According to Wikipedia, there are almost 20,000 Somalis living in Norway. They are among the least integrated of all immigrants. Of Somalis that have lived more than 7 years in Norway, only 34% are currently employment. Norway's welfare system is quite generous due to the country's tremendous oil revenues, and despite almost zero unemployment there are many people (Norwegians as well as immigrants) that choose to live of welfare benefits rather than to work.
While I have not seen any recent figures, in 2003 there were 864 criminal incidents involving Somalis (at the time only 15,586 Somalis were living in Norway). In 2002, 5.1% of Somalis living in Norway were found guilty of criminal acts (only beaten by Ghanaians at 7%, compared with an average of 1.35% for the general population).
It is important to note that the Somali immigrants should not be blamed for the above circumstances. The failure is entirely with the immigration policies of the Norwegian government. However, it makes you wonder how much money has been wasted due to Norway's poor integration policies, not to mention the human costs involved. The most innocent victims are unfortunately the children who are sent back to the countries that their parents came from, and shame on the Norwegian government for allowing it to happen.
