Not that I assume most Norwegians are undereducated (quite the opposite), but perhaps news like this will inspire other Westerners to actually look into the culture of Muslims from around the world, and learn a little about Islam. The present may not be the brightest era, but there was an Islamic Golden Age that the West owes much to.

You got it. So much of our chemistry, astronomy, mathematics and literature is owed to Muslims from centuries ago.

If the latter, that is VERY concerning.
If you're concerned about a Norwegian Muslim, you're Islamophobic and paranoid enough to forget that MUSLIMS ARE NOT A HIVEMIND.

that would make more sense if there was a department of tradition... because tradition and culture are extremely different, culture changes from person to person, it is about likes, hobbies, and behaviors, and is about diversity and constant growth, its why musical groups don't just produce one album, and remake it and re-sell it as a different name... (good bands at least)
tradition is the one about... well... cultural tradition...

I'm concerned with ANY religious person bringing their faith into public policy, I don't care if they're muslim, christian, jewish, etc. If a nation has a very religious person as cultural minister, that's a problem to me. We need secular governing powers.

You also have to understand that Vestr-Norig thinks all people should stay in their own homelands and not mix with others. It colors his entire outlook.

If said person is putting their own faith into public practice to the detriment of others or other faith beliefs, etc., then I would agree, but simply because the person is "very religious" should have no bearing on how suitable a candidate they would be.

I disagree, I think very religious people can't help but see the world differently. Maybe I'm biased because of US politics.

I consider myself very religious, but I also feel - mind you I am biased - that I am very respectful towards people of other faiths, or indeed, those of no faith whatsoever.
It is possible to find such people.

I suppose, in America things are very different. Religious people will make policy for other religious people, pretty much all christian fundamentalists. Europe has the luxury of most of its religious politicians believing in evolution and global climate change and women's health. In the US we're not so lucky...

Fransikania wrote:The first ever Muslim minister in the Norwegian Cabinet is Hadia Tajik of Pakistani origin, who was handed the culture portfolio
On Sunday, with no precedent in Norwegian history, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg appointed Hadia Tajik, a 29-year-old Muslim woman, as minister of culture, making Tajik the youngest minister in the Norwegian Cabinet and the first ever Muslim in the Norwegian government.
Tajik, of Pakistani origin, anounced that her programme will focus on cultural diversity as part of the Norwegian people's daily lives and how this reflects on Norweigan society as a whole. The programme will delve into the protection of minority rights, whether cultural or racial, including the right of Muslims to wear the veil in public places, among other issues.
The new focus, however, will not be unopposed. Most right wing groups are against these policy changes, considering the increase in diversity in society a challenge to European culture.
Last year Anders Breivik randomly shot 69 people at a summer camp organised by the Workers' Youth League (AUF) of the Labour Party after blowing up a Norweigan state building. During his trial, Breivik reasoned that multi-cultural policies are harming Norway, adding that he considers Islam his enemy.
Born in Strand, Norway, on 18 July 1983, Tajik studied human rights at the University of Kingston in the UK and holds a Bachelor's degree in journalism and Master's in law, the latter awarded by the University of Oslo this year.
An activist from a young age, Tajik led the Young Workers Movement between 1999 and 2002. She also worked as a political advisor to Norway's minister of justice, 2008-2009. During this time Norweigan women members of the police were afforded the right to wear the veil at work. The decision was, however, rescinded due to harsh criticism from conservative parties.
In 2009, Tajik was elected to parliament as a member of the Labour Party in the Oslo constitutency. She was placed on a list of six seats generally considered safe for the party.

Just another reason I'd never want to live in the US...no offense. As noted, I am religious (Anglican) but I find some of my US cousins just a bit too...over zealous? (to say the least)

The same as literally every politician in the history of human governments.
