Sad old man


I find it sad that a man like Steinar Lem who has spent his life working for important issues like the enviroment and against poverty, now spends his last breath on the propaganda of fear. He claims Norwegian culture is being destroyed by muslims. In Dagbladet today he says that we will get a society built on scriptures from year 600. As opposed to now? When was it they wrote the Bible again?

Fortunately the kids are still sensible. In the same paper they respond that they cannot take over a country that is already theirs, and wonders what Norwegian culture really is and what it is Lem thinks will be destroyed.


- Dette er det dummeste jeg har hørt. Hvordan kan vi ta over vårt eget land? Vi er også født og oppvokst her, sier Somaya Choukri (16).

- Jeg er født her og oppvokst her, men det betyr ikke at den norske kulturen vil bli utryddet, sier Boulahloud, som også er muslimsk.

Vanessa Shaqiri (14) lurer på hva norsk kultur egentlig er og hva Steinar Lem mener blir ødelagt.

Kulturnytt

A nice presentation of Fiskeboller i karri on NRK Kulturnytt this morning! I talked to a very nice young lady, Rebecca Strand, just before easter and it was aired this morning. To hear it, try to access the incredibly difficult NRK nettradio, make a search for 'kulturnytt' and choose the date 15.04 2009. I can't promise the nettradio works, but it's worth a try.
