Muslims in Norway feel violated twice in this case - first through the caricatures and then by the Norwegian flag being burned.

I can understand that Muslims find the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in the Norwegian weekly... to be offensive. This is unfortunate and regrettable.

Muslims are required to follow the law of the land and since the law of Australia prohibits a second marriage, Islamic law will also prohibit it.

The law is about preventing unreasonable vilification that is not in good faith, and we see that as no more controversial than any defamation law.

I'm 100% Norwegian. Three generations removed and all continuous inbreeding of Norwegian of Minnesota and Iowa, so I traveled to Norway before.

Japan fully understands the distress felt by the Muslims at the publication of the caricatures.
