Islamic prayer room in Norwegian schools
- A "human right"?
Islamic Council Norway demand prayer rooms in Oslo schools.
Mehtab Afsar, Islamic Council, thinks that the media don't focus enough on Breivik's islamophobia. So, now, during the trial, is probably also a good moment, he thinks, to push the Norwegian society a little farther towards sharia, and ask for prayer rooms in the schools, using "human rights" as an argument - he doesn't pronounce 'sharia rights', but may have the Cairo declaration in mind.
