		<description>First, I hope you forgive me for replying in English, as, after all, it is the blog&#039;s language, Piirka Kellivoite. Hope you don&#039;t mind.

I can sympathise with Erkki Tuomioja&#039;s sentiment. No country, Norway included, likes to be reminded of its prior faults or shortcomings. In Norway, for instance, it has lead to a growing understanding of governmental funding of proper burial for Norwegian SS soldiers who fell on Russian soil. After all; although our government at the time fled the country in order to oppose Nazi Germany and its occupation of Norwegian territory, quite a few sided with the Germans, too.

Whatever the case in Finland may be, or &lt;i&gt;was&lt;/i&gt;, as it were, there&#039;s a sense of honour in acknowledging ancient mistakes, too. At any rate, there&#039;s no need for you and me to be ashamed of mistakes made by yesterday&#039;s countrymen.</description>

		<description>Finlands förre utrikesminister (2000-2007) socialdemokraten Erkki Tuomioja skriver: &quot;Arnstads bok är mer den psykologiserande journalistens arbete än historieforskarens. Då jag började läsa boken blev jag synnerligen störd av den valda angreppsvinkeln och skrivstilen, men efter att vant mig vid detta läste jag boken med intresse. Det är en helt annan sak att Arnstads verk inte uppfyller kraven på historieforskning redan på den punkten att något källmaterial inte alls är dokumenterat och att han kan fixeras vid åtskilliga småfel och en del vanskliga också.

I Finland har särskild uppmärksamhet fästs vid Arnstads syn på Finlands krigstida politik. Däri speglas författarens bristfälliga historiekännedom och källmaterial - det på Arnstads webbsidor angivna källmaterialet som berör Finland är tämligen ytligt - samt till en viss grad fördomsfullt&quot;&#039;&#039;

		<description>You cannot possibly mean that phenomena resembling the onset of Germany&#039;s darkest years should &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; be compared to it, Richard Winther.

By replacing &lt;i&gt;Muslim&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;Islam&lt;/i&gt; with &lt;i&gt;Jew, Jewish&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;Judaism&lt;/i&gt; in some of the allegations brought forward in contemporary Norwegian deliberations, chances are that we&#039;d consider the resemblance striking, don&#039;t you find?

The fact that we&#039;re debating Muslims or Islam, not Jews or Judaism, in my view really doesn&#039;t change that notion.

In response to your

&lt;blockquote&gt;[…] The police reports that EVERY violent rape in oslo is committed by immigrants; and then suddenly everyone is nazis for wanting an end to this madness?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;d just like to add that you&#039;re referring the 41 &lt;i&gt;reported&lt;/i&gt; assault rapes in Oslo over the last three years (the real figures remain obscured). Police statistics released a year ago (on 22 April 2008) revealed 161 rapes and 35 attempted rapes in Oslo throughout 2007, while your &lt;i&gt;41&lt;/i&gt; rapes took place during the course of &lt;i&gt;three&lt;/i&gt; years. Which only goes to show that native Norwegians prefer to carry out their rapes in the privacy of their own (or their hosts&#039;) homes.</description>

		<description>Reductio ad Hitlerum; more commonly referred to as &#039;Godwin&#039;s Law&#039;.
Or as I like to call it, playing the nazi card. 

It is a quite common strategy for lefties/socialists/liberals/traitors when they are out of arguments... calling every man of opposed opinion a nazi or racist (or worse).

		<description>In all honesty I would expect Muslims in favour of sharia and a caliphate to remain in -- or migrate to -- countries working for those ideas, Spaceman Spiff.

Granted Muslims eager to wage Jihad on the Western world is expected to move abroad, but seriously, we really haven&#039;t seen much of them in our neck of the woods, have we?

The term &lt;i&gt;Jihad&lt;/i&gt; by the way holds &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;different meaning to different groups of Muslims&lt;/a&gt;, which I think we&#039;d do well to remember, too.</description>

		<description>&quot;We all wonder, from time to time, why the Germans allowed themselves to be seduced by Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist party, and how they persuaded the better of an entire nation to consider the Jews criminal, greedy, self-absorbed and prepared to poison German culture with Judaism.&quot;


-A big question. It&#039;s remarkable how they pulled it, but what is even more remarkable is how europeans can keep importing an ideology, islam, that has the destruction of all kuffars as their mainobjective along with imposing shari&#039;ah on the entire planet.  Those who ignore somebody who outright says that they want to kill you, do so at their own peril.</description>
