St Olav Celebration at Stiklestad, Norway
– Hanan Ashrawi guest of honor
Arafat the new saint of Stiklestad, on the celebration of Christianity at Olsok, 29 July?
The Battle at Stiklestad 29 July 1030, to convert the Norwegians to Christianity
Last year Jonas Gahr Støre was not present as had been the plan, due to Breivik’s massacre and bombing in Oslo.
In the meantime, Christ was eliminated from the Norwegian consitution on 21 May 2012, and the ground prepared for the Arafat-culture, the same ideologies that AUF of Utøya, is praising.
As if this wasn’t enough, the followers of this cult, has raised some form of artwork, stating the distance to Jerusalem, in Arabic, close to the Nidarosdomen, The Nidaros Cathedral.
This year the Arafat-culture of attacks on civilians and Jewish goals, is reigning, and Hanan Ashrawi is invited as if nothing happened.
– Hypocritical, asks historian Roy Vega in the Norwegian Verdidebatt (Debates on Values)
Why should Nidaros become “palestinian”? Is this the new Gaza?
Even Omar Bashir, the Butcher of Soudan, supported the “palestinian artwork” at Nidaros, which tells you something about the importance for the islamic world
Furthermore, one Somali and one Iraqi
read from the koran, IN the cathedral during mass
Nothing accidental here. All part of the plan.
