SOMALIS IN NORWAY COMPLAINING ABOUT LOSS OF TAX REDUCTION FOR SENDING FUNDS BACK HOME……..

Outside of the fact that that wealth slips beyond the borders of Norway, what about that money falling into the hands of the jihadis? We all know that it does in fact, in part, go to the al-Qaida group in Somalia, the al-Shabaab. KGS

Demands tax reduction from remittances

By Uzma Rana

Many immigrants send money to their country of origin. Until the year 2001 this was tax deductible.

Norwegian-Somalians send money to family and friends who desperately need support. The State should see the value in this and reintroduce tax deductions, says Bashe Musse (Ap (Labour)).

Bashe Musse is a member of the city council of Oslo and a representative of the Oslo Labour Party. He explains that it used to be possible to get a tax exemption from remittances, but that this exemption was removed in 2001.

– This is very sad. Many Somalian tax payers are hurt by this. They send money home to family and friends desperately in need of support because they are victims of conflict, natural disasters and hunger. ,The money is spent on everything from medicine, food and education, Musse says.

He thinks a tax deduction of money sent to people’s home country would make the lives of many citizens of Oslo easier.

– Tax exemption of remittances would help many families and children living on the edge of the poverty line in Oslo, says Musse.

– The sum total remitted by immigrants to their home countries far exceeds the total of money collected by the various charity organisations, according to Jørgen Carling, researcher at the Institute for Peace Studies (Prio).

But the fact that migrants send money to their country of origin doesn’t necessarily mean that they contribute to building the country. The money is spent in various ways.

Also, Tundra Tabloids tipster Sisu informs the TT that in the comments to the article:

Musse is also the Leader of the Somali Network in Norway.*

“We support Al Shabaab
We love them”

During investigations on terror funding in 2008, Somali taxidrivers in Oslo were finding these investigations very unjust, saying “- Alle støtter Al-Shabaab” –

“-Everybody supports Al Shabaab”.

“- How much have you transferred?”

“- That’s a secret,” says Ali Hassan, father of seven, taxidriver and leader of Alliance Reliberation for Somalia, with 20 years in Norway

Norwegian Embassy in Nairobi has been moved after threats from Al Shabaab recently

On the previous address there were several international organizations, and security was not sufficient to meet the type of threats in question.

How on earth did we get to this stage.

1. We have imported millions of virtual savages

2. We then fund these savages with their huge families

3. We then fund them again so they can use the money to destroy us.

Has there ever been such a political elite that has been so ignorant, or as treacherous, in the annals of history?

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
