Jewish Graves Desecrated In Oslo
While the case is receiving limited coverage in the Norwegian media, VG and TV2 report that several Jewish graves in Oslo have been desecrated with Nazi symbols and other messages (picture is by Tom Bob Peru Aronsen of NrK). One message states that "The war is not over", whatever that might mean.
Jews were not allowed to enter Norway until 1851, and almost half the Jews that entered Norway thereafter were killed during the Second World War. I have previously written extensively on anti-Israeli sentiment in Norway, but this should not be confused with the outright racism that is behind the grave desecrations in Oslo.

Random Street Violence In Oslo
According to the police in Oslo, street robberies in the Norwegian capital are more common than ever before. Saturday evening, a group of 8-10 immigrants attacked random people on the street. Dagbladet reports several incidents of street robberies in the evening and night, and one 28-year-old man had to receive emergency care after being kicked and beaten.
Dagbladet reports that police managed to arrest one of the criminal group members, who perhaps will get to spend a couple of paid weeks in a comfortable Norwegian prison (read: budget hotel) with access to cable-TV, exercise equipment, and porn.
Update 1: VG has published an article with some more details. There were a total of three armed robberies in Oslo on Saturday night, and hand weapons were used in each incident. Apparently five African immigrants have been arrested. It seems like the police has dealt with all of them previously, and you can expect the criminals to be back on the street shortly.
Spring is in the air and Oslo should soon be heaven for current and future criminals. The risk of getting caught is minimal and the potential rewards are huge. Even if you are arrested, your stay in jail will be short and comfortable.

Jewish Children Not Allowed To Play Outside in Oslo
An article in the tabloid paper VG reports that children in the Jewish Kindergarten in Oslo are not allowed to play outside. Since Hamas has stated that all Jews and Jewish institutions around the world are valid targets for their revenge, the children are being kept inside behind bulletproof glass.
Norway has its share of terrorists and terrorist supporters, so I believe the concern is warranted.
