Several large mosques deplores the ideas to the invitees. – They should be denied entry to Norway, says Gulam Sarwar in Central Jamaat Mosque.
Haitham al-Haddad is a Muslim scholar from London. He stands for a literal Islam, and has for example said that violence against his wife is a private matter, and that homosexuality is a nuisance that must be combated.
When he visited the Netherlands in 2012, let parliament so much pressure on University he went to see them canceled. But in Oslo he has spoken this spring at several events organized by the Muslim organization Islam Net.
At Easter, he shared the stage with, among others, the British preacher Dawah Man, who has argued that Europe and the United States are governed by Zionist bank owners, and called homosexuality a “filthy, obscene and shameless act” (Video later deleted) .
Also Shady Alsuleiman, which as late as in 2009 invited Al-Qaeda Head of Foreign Affairs Anwar Al-Awlaki to his mosque in Sydney, was invited but had to cancel.
Refused entry
They are just some of numerous charismatic, conservative preachers who have visited Norway the recent years. More educated in Saudi Arabia. Several have even posted lectures online where they prescribe penalties that conflict with Norwegian law and human rights: Death penalty for adultery, homosexuality and apostasy.
Several also speak hatefully about non-believers. Abu Usama at-Thahabi, who is an instructor at AlMedinah Institute under the auspices of Islam Net, has stated: “We love Islam people and we hate the unbelievers the people.” He has also been a guest in the Somali mosque Tawfiiq in Oslo.
Some of the preachers refused entry in other countries due to extreme attitudes. Canadian Saeed Regeah, who visited Tawfiiq Mosque last year, was denied entry to Australia later that year. When Bilal Philips guested Islam Nets peace conference in 2010, he was already denied entry to the UK and Australia. He later denied entry to Germany and Kenya, and deported from the Philippines and Bangladesh.
Islam Nets leader, Fahad Qureshi, rejects decided that they invite extreme presenters. He believes that what they say will be taken out of context.
– Bilal Philips is the mildest of all. He’s like a pussycat, if you listen to the speeches. Do not listen to two sentences taken out of context, of perhaps a total of 40 hours of talks, said Fahad Qureshi.
He says they carefully investigate allegations of speakers from media.
– If propaganda is based on misquoted sentences taken out of context, ignoring we propaganda and invites presenters, says Qureshi.
He thinks it is “ridiculous” that Philips is denied entry to several land and denied that he or anyone else they invite, is extreme.
– We do not share all the opinions of everyone we invite and many may disagree among themselves as well. But these are for classical Islam, as practiced for 1400 years, says Qureshi.
Not everyone agrees with him.
– Not stoning in Islam
– I do not know all, but some of them gives a more rigorous view of Islam than is necessary, and focusing on the wrong thing in the wrong way. They dismiss the principles can cross each other, and often chooses the strictest, says chairman Basim Ghozlan in Rabita Mosque.
He denies that the stoning and death sentences for adultery, homosexuality and apostasy is part of Islam, so he and his circles understand religion.
– I get angry at the attitude. They pretend that this is what Islam is, but the point is not the penalties themselves, say Ghozlan.
One of the largest mosques, Central Jamaat-e Ahl-e Sunnat, said presenters who speak hatefully non-believers and threatening death penalty must be turned down on by the Norwegian authorities.
– They should be denied entry into Norway, says Chairman Ghulam Sarwar.
Faruk Terzić ( 38), imam of the Islamic Community Bosnia and Herzegovina in Oslo, believes it can be dangerous to learn about Islam through what he calls YouTube preachers.
– Presenters with little religious credibility get too much attention. They might become popular on the Internet because of its unacceptable and problematic attitudes, said Terzić.
– Understandable that youth comes
In Norway’s oldest mosque, the Islamic Cultural Centre in Greenland in Oslo , find spokesperson Ikhlaq Ahmad however “understandable” that the youngsters come to hear charismatic and famous people from foreign TV.
– I have not had time to go deep into the various characters, why they are contentious and where they are educated. What we do know is that young people like a black / white image and want things easily presented. It’s possible there is something there, says Ahmad.
What they talk about events in Norway, he will not speculate.
– IslamNet is a student organization that looks to organize well, but they have also lost a great deal of support from youth in recent years, says Ahmad.
Shiraz Maher, senior adviser at King’s College London, believes it “clearly” is a risk that the ideas within Some of these speakers can cause some young people go abroad to fight with IS in Syria.
– In general, these conservative attitudes, and some of their views are very extreme.
need not apply for a visa
According to Aftenposten’s knowledge, no controversial preachers denied entry into Norway. More Aftenposten overview comes from visa waiver countries, and eliminating the need for a visa to visit Norway.
– All applications for visas to Norway evaluated based terms. Reasons to reject an application may be fundamental national interests or the interests of national security, says unit manager Jonas Folmoe in immigration. He also states that local security services routinely involved in such cases.
