Norway: Bow and arrow attacker who killed 5 is a convert to Islam familiar to mental health authorities

Update: Norwegian convert arrested for the killings in Kongsberg

Sources inform TV 2 that the arrested man in Kongsberg is a Norwegian convert to Islam, who has had contact with the Norwegian health service several times.

A man has been arrested after injuring and killing multiple people with a bow and arrow and multiple areas have been evacuated in Norway, and police say it is too early to tell whether the attacks were terror-related.

An exact count of the number of injured or dead from Wednesday’s incident has not yet been released. There is no suspicion that anyone else was involved.

Muslim foreign ministers to make women’s rights plea to Taliban

Foreign ministers from several Muslim-majority countries are planning to go to Kabul in part to urge the Taliban to recognise that the exclusion of women and girls from education is a distortion of the Islamic faith.

The proposal has the support of western diplomats, who recognise that calls from them concerning universal values are going to have less traction with the Taliban than if the request comes from leaders of largely Islamic states.

The children of ISIS: ‘It’s a disaster we cannot deal with’

Satanic whores of ISIS

“… Violence and radicalisation in the camp is a major issue for Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, responsible for managing the camps.

Dr Abdulkarim Omar, the de facto foreign minister of the Kurdish-led administration in north-east Syria, admits that in al-Hol, IS still rules. He says hardline women are responsible for much of the violence.

“There are daily killings, they are burning tents when people don’t follow ISIS ideology,” he says, “and they are passing on those radical views to their children.”

Not our problem.

“Now we’re getting sanctions just for believing in what we believe. I’m angry.”

Environmental activists in the United States are seizing on Canada’s decision to invoke a 44-year-old treaty with the United States as an “audacious,” misguided and misleading gambit aimed at short-circuiting Michigan’s effort to shut down the Line 5 cross-border pipeline.

Oil & Water Don’t Mix, a coalition of Michigan environmental and Indigenous groups that includes the Sierra Club and the Michigan Climate Action Network, said Tuesday it has a 33,000-signature petition that it plans to circulate among U.S. lawmakers this week.

A Closer Look At The Media’s Narrative On The Arizona Audit Results

After five months of fighting the Republican Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, the Democrat Establishment, and several liberal special interest groups, the Arizona Senate finally won in court and got the “go ahead” to conduct the largest forensic election audit ever conducted in the country. They fought to re-establish their authority, and they won. Their reward was six more months of fighting the same parties, this time in the press, who ridiculed and lied about the audit process, questioned the auditors’ credibility, and smeared them across the nation calling the audit a joke.
