A neighborhood in Oslo, Norway, has been taken over by Mohammedan migrants and is no longer safe for gays, Jews, women, non-Mohammedans, or insufficiently-observant Mohammedans.
In 2015, sociologist Halvor Fosli published Fremmed i eget land (A Stranger in One’s Own Country), a book based on interviews with 20 ethnic Norwegian residents of Groruddalen. Fosli deliberately chose people who had some level of involvement in their communities—those who had kids in school, for example, or who sat on their co-op boards. What was it like, he asked them, to become a minority in one’s own corner of the world? Their answers were disturbing. Non-Muslim boys in secondary school were leery of coming into the crosshairs of Muslim gangs—but they couldn’t be sure what to avoid doing or saying, because Muslim classmates judged their conduct according to a set of codes entirely alien to Norwegian society. As for non-Muslim girls and women, simply going outside alone—to the mall, for instance—earned them the angry stares of long-bearded Muslim men who believed that they should not leave their homes unescorted by males and with their heads uncovered. Jews had it especially tough. Gays? Forget it. In short, a place where people had once lived without fear and treated one another with respect and friendliness had become charged with tension, dread, and bigotry—not anti-Muslim bigotry, mind you, but anti-Norwegian bigotry.
… Yet politicians and journalists continue to paint it as a paradise of integration and multicultural enrichment.
Du bør lese alt av det. (Read the whole thing.)
Ah, aren’t liberal policies great? Blonde women being forced to dye their hair black, Swedish boys being beat up by gangs of Muslim boys, a thriving illegal gun black market, no go areas for cops, teachers being assaulted, Swedish’s traditional way of dealing with criminals as victims not working, a burgeoning population of intolerance and hate—the future looks bright for Sweden and its progressivism. Let’s be like Sweden, our liberals here say….
This paragraph brings the plight of Groruddalen into tight focus:
Take note that one of the “two leading Groruddalen politicians” is named Mobashar Banaras. Not Mørbashar, mind you.
So, for liberals, it is not so much “who” is “increasing divisions between ‘us’ and ‘them'” as it is “what.” The “what” is 12 year olds selling drugs, 15 year olds carrying guns, knives and baseball bats and youth gangs assaulting adults in the open street.
Oh, yeah, and the “what” is all at the hands of Muslims. What a coinkydink.
Hopefully, Øystein E. Søreide and Mobashar Banaras can chat up the Muslims and get them to act better …. or ….. they can talk the Norwegians into having their people match the Muslim pathologies one for one.
Liberals are mentally ill. They look at the Muslims and they see themselves as catalysts for the Muslim atrocities. If there is a rule of law in Grorudden (and there obviously is not) the impartiality of the law would cause every miscreant to be locked up without regard to the “cultural differences.”
But, the Muslims are a polity: a group of people who are collectively united by a self-reflected cohesive force such as identity, who have a capacity to mobilize resources, and are organized by some form of institutionalized hierarchy.
Divided they stand and divided they stand their ground and divided they impose themselves upon the weak and lowly. And the liberal pathology causes the lowly to grovel and ask forgiveness for causing the Muslims to hate them.
If there is a “liberal” solution to the Grorudden “problem” the liberals are keeping it a secret.
The key to liberalism is that sometimes correlation is causation and sometimes it isn’t and it is necessary to believe both at the same time. That way, common sense does not intrude.
Øystein E. Søreide is a man without a plan. He is fast becoming a stranger in his own land.
We must not ignore the moral of this fable. Illegal aliens in the United States are picketing for their “rights.” And grown people are paying attention to them.
I suspect the DACA et.al. people will gain a special accommodation. OK by me as it is a doable solution. BUT, in my mind, each must turn himself in, register, meet requirements in English, comprehension of how our representative democracy is supposed to work and make it a number of specified years in the future without committing a felony. Easy-peasey for a 100% real dreamer.
Of course, the DemonizingRats would argue to give them immediate voting rights, reparations and affirmative action for time in the shadows.
Appalling or what?
Nah.
“Progressive“.
There are good, valid reasons why that for thousands of years of civilization societies feared The Other, especially those who remain unassimilated. Traditionally dealt-with with a sharp-pointy stick.
They are not of the Body…
the muslims colonists are only doing what the leftist politicians brought them to Norway to do.

Bingo.
Linda Sarsour 2020?
God forbid.
At least this sociologists hasn’t been jailed for thoughtcrime. Yet.
@8
Indeed.
For anyone interested (read: with enough morbid curiosity), one can check out Goran Adamson’s account about Malmo and the like —
if those 10 minutes of a glimpse into the promised multicultural future being sold to America don’t scare you, well, nothing will:

Good luck, Sweden.

… may be begging for it.
This applies to societies and civilizations as well. There’s also the existential difference between machine-gunning the lifeboats, and machine-gunning the invasion landing craft. They can look the same…
Wait! Has anybody else noticed that the Muslim presence in Norway isn’t necessarily positive?
@13
Apparently, a sociologist still had to come out with the “surprising” data.
Because of course, one cannot just trust the hearsay coming from the indigenous (Norwegian) peasants who make up for the 99.99% rest of the population — I mean, c’mon, you really have to wait for the specialist’s opinion only, sometimes.
Ya know, a bit like when some really needed, in the 2008 campaign, to hear from Constitutional scholar Obama on his interpretation of the US Constitution that fits in a 20 pages booklet.
Sometimes it’s just too tough. Too tough stuff to grok for your average mortal.
It looks like it’s pretty close to be a home run for most of Europe,
or what?

“It does not take wolves to destroy our civilisation, a plague of rabbits will do just as well.” Jean Raspail
When this Mass Insanity illusion finally ends, there will be three basic populations of “whites:”
1. The inveterate SJW rabbits.
2. Goes with the wind-blows herders.
3. K-selected wolves.
Group #1: no guns, no guts, no common sense. Life expectancy? Short— literally “rabbit short.” Want to see a picture of them all? Look up what Amy Biehl looked like after the S African blacks she was in SA to help dragged her from her car, then beat her and stabbed her to death.
Group #2: convictionless. Will watch the true rabbits run around like little prey animals surrounded by packs of marauding hyenas. Will look for some other group to follow.
Group #3: Armed to the teeth. Heavily represented among active/retired military and police agencies. Largely race-realist from brutal experience. Predisposed to unit-cohesion and suspicion of outsiders. Prepped, prepped, prepped, and used to keeping opinions hidden and preparations disguised.
Yeah, once this antebellum period finally ends, I’m not really all that worried about things. I’m a hell of a lot more comfortable with the crowd I’m likeliest to fit with than I would be if I was some left-cultist, metrosexual clown living in Lincoln Park.
