Where do you get asylum from asylum seekers?

Okay, here’s an interesting little divergence of media tales. Here’s part of AP’s description on an awful assault on asylum seekers in Norway:

A group of men armed with bats and iron bars attacked a center for political asylum-seekers in southern Norway, leaving more than 20 people injured, the facility’s director said Friday.

Why don’t we listen to what the Muhammedans keep telling us?

 Egyptian Muslim Preacher ‘Amr Khaled: Within 20 Years Muslims Will become the Majority in Europe; Enemies of Islam Want to Drive 30 Million Muslims out of Europe 

Continued:

Center director Ole Morten Lyng said between 40 and 50 men were involved in the “planned” attack. He did not know how serious the injuries were.

A little later in that article there’s speculation that the attackers were Chechens, but that was withdrawn and their “nationalities were not clear”.

I read through that and got the impression of some anti-immigrant–specifically, anti-Muslim immigrant– brownshirt mob raiding a bunch of refugees. But wait…could these attackers actually have been the infamous young men of no appearance? I was curious how else the attack was being reported.

Here’s the BBC’s take:

The head of the facility, Ole Morten Lyng, said the cause of the attack appeared to be a minor dispute between two groups at the centre that had been blown out of proportion.

Reports in local media suggest Chechens had been involved in long-running disagreements with other Muslims at the centre over religious practices.

Interesting…here’s Reuters with a direct quote:

“There was an attack from outside the asylum centre by people who don’t live here, Chechens, 40 to 50 men armed with steel bars and other weapons,” Ole Morten Lyng, an official at the centre, told NRK public radio news.

“There also seem to have been knives involved,” Lyng said. “They went into the rooms and pulled out Kurds and beat them up.”

Now this is starting to sound like a completely different story than the AP report suggested, isn’t it?

Too small? Click hereThis is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media, we wouldn't even know its happening.We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.But you won't be back, trust me on that.Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

This is fairly typical of the PC media.
