In Norway, white young Norwegians girls are in minority surrounded by Muslims, are pressured to adapt to an Islamic environment and to conform by wearing the hijab.
Just before Easter, Human Rights Service (HRS), the Oslo-based foundation for which I serve as information director, got a tip about what was described as an intense pressure to wear hijab at Vahl Grade School in downtown Oslo. Sources connected to the school told HRS that a female employee of Pakistani origin was openly trying to push hijabs on girls as young as first graders. She flattered the girls who didn’t wear hijab by telling them how pretty they would be if they only put on hijabs, and said that she could give them hijabs as gifts. The woman works for SFO (Skolefritidsordning or “School Free Time Arrangement”), which provides volunteers to take care of kids before and after school hours, and also works as a classroom assistant. In March she got the head of SFO to write the following note to the parents of two non-Muslim girls: “Can X get a hijab from SFO on Tuesday, March 31, 2009?” The letter is dated March 30 and signed by the head of Norwegian SFO. HRS has the original letter. We also have a photograph of posters from the school building announcing prayer times for the children.
An employee at Vahl School explains the spread of hijabs at the school to HRS in this way:
“In first grade, about half of the Muslim girls show up in hijab. By the time they’re in third grade, pretty much all of the Muslim girls are in hijab,” says this person who wishes to remain anonymous.
At Vahl School only five percent of the pupils are ethnic Norwegians. And as we know, children want to be like other children. When the Pakistani woman tried to press hijabs on two non-Muslim girls by telling them how “pretty” they would be in hijab, it was likely not difficult to “convince” the children: they surely wanted both to be pretty and to not stick out.
The assistant principal at the school, Grete Wahlmann, obviously doesn’t understand what kind of force and pressure on children these matters can involve or, for that matter, what values hijab represents. She told the Adressa.no website: “This was just a small gesture from SFO. There were two little girls who wanted to dress up in pretty, colorful, and glittering hijabs, and therefore SFO asked if it was okay with the parents for them to give them to the girls.”
“Just a small gesture.” “Pretty, colorful, and glittering hijabs.” Has the assistant principal asked herself the simple question: what is the purpose of dressing up children in hijabs? Has she pondered the question of why pretty much all the Muslim girls wear hijabs? And one more thing: how can it be that SFO has hijabs lying around waiting to be passed out to little girls? When did it become SFO’s job to carry out this kind of missionary work? It may also be relevant to ask, given that about 95 percent of the pupils have immigrant backgrounds: does SFO also hand out jeans to those girls whose personal development is hampered by the fact that they wear these garments that cover them up? That would perhaps have been seen as something more than a “gesture.”
The lack of understanding exhibited by the school authorities in this case is disturbing. HRS has for many years tried to convey the simple message that the first victims of religious compulsion are Muslims themselves. If the process continues, non-Muslims will be the next to be affected. It must be recognized that this is now the situation, something that may have been practiced over a period of time without the knowledge of the school authorities. But the school authorities don’t seem to grasp what is going on in the schoolyard and inside the school building. The same authorities have also allowed posters in the school announcing Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting. Last Ramadan, posters hung in the corridors announcing prayer meetings. Depicted on the poster is a little girl, heavily draped in white hijab and a loose-fitting coat and clutching a Koran. The prayer meetings for the children are divided by sex, the school source tells us.
It is tempting to ask: Would the principal have allowed a Christian denomination to carry out missionary work in their school involving the subjugation of females? Would the principal have permitted Christian revival meetings in the school?
Vahl School, and likely a number of other schools in Oslo and other immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, obviously has a problem identifying its own essential culture and values. When one cannot manage to stand up for our democracy’s fundamental values, one is allowing oneself, of course, to be seduced by “the others,” out of a misbegotten respect for tolerance and so-called diversity.
The example that Vahl School illustrates clearly is why hijab and other such religious symbols must be removed from daycare centers, SFO, grade school, and high school. From the universities, hospitals, and all public institutions where employees are in contact with customers and with the public. To be sure, there is little reason to believe that this will happen within, let us say, the next decade. We have political leaders and a press corps that can best be characterized as self-satisfied paper dolls. A powerful struggle for values is going on right under their noses — but they are blinded, they are lazy, they are ignorant, they are cowardly. And, quite simply, they do not give a moment’s thought to the Norway of tomorrow.

I dont’t get it ! how can u people say that all muslims think alike? If one of them has made a fool out of herself by forcing hijab in a European country , does that actually mean that all the muslims would do the same?
It’s just this stupid media which has taken us to think at such extremes!
How can you guys say that you’re liberal if u think this narrow mindedly ?
Each and every person has his/her’s own free will and everyone thinks differently! You just cannot categorize all the muslims way !
Peace!
Where was it said that all muslims think alike?
Where the fuck is our free will when you are invading our countries like a plague? did we ask for tons of islamic people to come to our country, multiplying your family beyond normal? It’s insane if you really put you’re mind to it, take a look at this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKcMM_uyFHM . I’ve got an idea, why don’t every fucking islam-loving-retard stay in their country and do whatever they like with their un-logical ‘religion’, guess what, I can guarantee you that no-one wants anything to do with you, we don’t want you here, we don’t want mosque’s here and we sure as hell don’t want women who looks like this here; http://pub.tv2.no/multimedia/TV2/archive/00705/Kvinne_i_burka_705797i.jpg .
I don’t get you really.. the world is a global village now! we’re not living in stone age or something now! Its 21st century for God’s sake!
Ask your government to limit immigration then! No one gets in without their permission!
And FYI .. we have a lot of churches in our country .. n we DO NOT discriminate between ourselves and Christians! Everyone has their right to worship.. to dress up .. !
Please try to act like grown ups and literate people. Don’t lose your mind because of some stupid documentaries and the media today! No one’s alike! You’re contradicting your own statement!
And how exactly do you call Islam un-logical? Christianity and Islam come from the same roots!
We are just confusing our minds by fighting over nothing! Catch people who are terrorists not MUSLIMS! Change their mind set regarding who you are .. and maybe they’ll stop intervening in your countries!
I am just trying to make u think logically.. People are born to the families they belong to.. no one asks to be a muslim or a christian.. it’s just how it is.. Please try to bring Peace in this world and not conflicts!
We respect you and your religion! And I think people from All religions need their space to dress up and to pray like they want to..
Maybe if you think with an open mind, women with hijab wont bother you very much.. At least here women with short skirts don’t seem to bother us! We respect every religion and people from all countries. We respect their Cultures!
And I thought you guys should’ve had a positive thought regarding this matter! Aren’t you one of those who call themselves ‘Broad Minded’? I’m actually confused regarding your beliefs and education now! Education should’ve done some good to you.. but media has ruined your minds!
Peace!
I am not really sure what world you live in, because what you are telling me is an ideal world where everyone lives peacefully, and lets be honest that world is far from grasp.
The Islamic-invasion of Europe is not done by terrorism, it is done by abnormal size of an average muslim family, an average muslim family is atleast double the size of an average family in for example France, Belgium or the Netherlands.
How do you think the statistics will be in, lets say 50 years? 50% of the world will probably be Islamic republics.
What is your view on that?
We’re the ones who have to make this world an ideal place to live in isn’t it? Don’t we have a lot of other serious issues to talk upon other than this one too?
And coming to your point regarding the islamic invasion then brother.. come to think of it.. No one ever leaves one’s country permanently .. sooner or later they have to be back.. your country belongs to you.. you should be proud of the fact that people think your country is a place worth living!
When Russia invaded Afghanistan there’s were millions of people who migrated to Pakistan to get a shelter. And they were given that shelter. We categorized them as outsiders too .. ! And believe me our country more looked like afghanistan because of the inhabitants. We respected them as they were our guests. And we weren’t sure that they were here for what period of time!
Every society has its own norms and i think they’re quite all different from one another. And a Muslim from one country and from another will be two completely different entities.
I think that we should not look at Muslims as one entity in this case. Categorize them as people from one country or another. An average size of a family in our country is from 4 -5 .. and I think it’s the ideal size. Whereas people from other countries may have an ideal size ranging from 5 to 7 too.. So this all depends on where you come from. this mentality comes from there.
And once again I’d say that its just the propaganda put forth by the media in our minds.. Muslims are not as bad as you think they are. They are guests in your country and they’d leave sooner or later. So you don’t need to worry about the invasion part. Or you can ask your government to make the rules strict for outsiders so that only people who come upto your marks can come to your country. Maybe that’ll ease up your mind.
And as far as I know not many countries have turned to be Iislamic republics in a very long time and I can’t see the point where they will..
So don’t worry.. You are all safe :)
You name yourself as a proud Norwegian so be one :)
Peace :)
I actually find it fucking hilarious to read some of these cretinous posts from the islam-loving-retards.
You dont even realize that you really are worse than the black plague, do you? Invading countries like flees and expecting other cultures to bow before you’re retarded culture which doesnt even make sense, bunch of drooling halfbrains covering yourself with retarded outfits for no logical reason, let alone you all are fucking garbage and my sincere wish is that you all die.
Evil only succeeds when good men do nothing!
Jews and Homosexuals!
It’s no wonder the world is in the state it is, reading all your dangerous, malicious, uneducated, ill thought-out statements. How will you ever live in peace with your neighbor if you think they are there to assimilate you or else! Get a life and a clue and go do some real research on the things that really make this world go round. Bunch of IGNORANT FUCKS!! Sorry i had to put that out there..
“A hijab is important to a Muslim woman and is not up to the rest of the world to force her to take her off…religion or not.
Who do we think we are to go to such a length and make poison out of that?”
Well Carol, who the hell do they think they are telling us what to do in our own countries?
All Muslims out of Europe
NOW!
Carol misses the entire point. The MUSLIMS are forcing the WHITE NORWEGIANS to give up their culture and take in MUSLIM culture by being pressured into wearing their retarded garments. How pin headed do you have to be not to understand?? Deport these people before Europe turns into a cesspool like the US! Europe must be protected!
and mother russia is for white slavic russians only.
we will not allow any one rape our country.
if there will be rape happened ,that will be us rape others in their place ,not the other way round :oops: :-D
deport those muslim animals ,before all are too late.
enrope is NOT for muslims. 14/88 :oops: :-x
Tribes wandering about naked do not try to come into ~Western cities and try to do the same!!! similarly, nuns do not force the whole female population of their religion to wear any special headgear, just as monks do not either. You seem to have missed the whole point. Women who say they wear the hijab voluntarily may be telling the truth or not, I don’t know, but the people at that school seem to be pressuring the young girls to do so, and, worse, without telling them what its real significance is. I am one hundred percent certain no Christian (or Jewish) missionary activities would have been so tolerated. Finally, state schools should be secular, with no particular religion either highlighted or enforced. Those who wish some religious education should obtain it elsewhere, evenings or weekends or whatever suits them, but NOT in schools, even where 97% of pupils are of the same religion.

My comment is related to the general issue the world had on Muslim girls wearing the hijab.
Traditions should be respected. We’ve lived by traditions for thousands of years.
A hijab is important to a Muslim woman and is not up to the rest of the world to force her to take her off…religion or not.
Who do we think we are to go to such a length and make poison out of that?
A catholic woman has to have her head covered when she enters a church. How is that any different?
Should we hate her for having to obey her tradition and her church’s rules?
Should we force the monks to stop wearing their orange clothes and the nuns to wear theirs?
Oh, how about we force the tribes who wander about naked in their villages to put some clothes on?
Please, don’t be so dense, for the sake of our evolution as humans…not rotten creatures.
Your obviously a muslem plant, or if not your stupid, they are outbreeding us and its because of scum like you, your like the filth that helped the Nazis, a quisling, selling out your own race you dirty bitch, I hope you get hepatitis from whichever one is fucking you, or are you one of those cunts that are being pimped by these fucking sand niggers…
Ignorant… sigh
You say that traditions should be respected.Then when Muslims get the privilege to come to Norway as a refugee,it is they that should respect Norwegian traditions.They should not be demanding that girls wear hijabs and women cover up their bodies when they are out of their homes.You said Norwegians have had their own traditions for thousands of years,then they should be able to keep their traditions for a few thousand more years.It was your ancestors that discovered Norway.They settled in present day Norway and turned frozen waste land into a livable place to live.It took a long time to do this.It wasn’t easy to survive the long cold winters.You and all the Norwegian feminist and left wing dhimmitutes should be proud of your Norwegian ancestor’s achievements,but no you and these pro-Muslim immigration fanatics like to bring these Muslims in as refugees and asylum seekers and give them a safe place to live because of the wars in their countries only to let them rape young Norwegian women and riot in the streets and make ghettos and slums in parts of Oslo and Bergen and a few other cities.
**and give them a safe place to live because of the wars in their countries**
Which western governments happened to wage in the first place??
The countries that you are referring to have had wars since the beginning of their existence.You are blaming the western nations because some of them belong to N.A.T.O. and have some troop deployment in a few Islamic countries.Arabs have been waging wars against the Africans and Europeans for fourteen hundred years.
I agree with you Joe, im so sick of theese immigrants, muslim fucks coming here demanding mosks and money and shelter, and they rape, making gangs, trafficking, drug trafficking, and DEMANDING US TO RESPECT THEIR CULTURE AND RELIGION AND FORCE US TO JOIN THEIR PLAGUE, im not gonna sit here and watch all this madness happen
Joe I agree that your traditions should be accepted too ! No one has the right to demand Norwegian girls to wear hijab ! it’s absolutely one’s personal choice to do whatsoever he/she wants to do.
You should just blame that single individual who forced hijab! Not all the muslims. I’m a muslim too and don’t wear hijab. No one has ever forced me to wear hijab! And no one wears hijab cuz they’re scared that they might get raped or whatsoever the others think like. Its just a part of the Islamic rules to protect one self. Some ppl take it as an obligation n others don’t. A women should protect herself in other ways too.. hijab is not the only way to protect ones self.
We respect your traditions and your culture unlike some very few Muslims who don’t.. and it just seems unfair to know that you categorize us with some Muslims who think unlike us.
Peace ! :)
Carol.Read the article again.Read the heading to the story.Then READ the whole story until you get the message drilled into your thick stubborn skull!Girls pressured to wear hijab at Norwegian school.What the article is trying to say is that because there are some schools where white Norwegian girls are in the MINORITY,some Muslim teachers and some traitors to the white race are trying to make young white Norwegian first graders wear a hijab by tricking them into thinking that they will look pretty if they wore a hijab.Go back and READ the article.What country are you from?What flag does that country belong to?
no body force us but we wear hijab with proud.
B.S. you are lying, the only reason you wear hijab is because you know that if you don’t you will be raped and if you get raped what happens? You get stoned to death. Your religion is worthless.
End of discussion. Take it back to Arabia.
Ignorant paddy who’d have thought lol!
When you say something out of hatred against Islam. It shows you character as well with no knowledge of Islam. In Pakistan only less than 10 percent women wear full hijab. Specially in remote areas. Mostly womens only wear scarf. and about more than 50 wears dupata (loose scarf)which is a part of the 3 piece dress.
In india villages and remote areas also Hindu women wear hijab. That percentage is more higher than Pakistan.
Rape has nothing to do with the Hijab. Look at the American figures. Every 5 second one women is rapped in USA. I am not saying this American women organisations are saying. If you have a doubt please check on facebook.
I wonder: is there a bottom line?
