Taxi Jihad in Oslo targets media freedom

The Norwegian Daily «Dagbladet» published cartoons of Muhammad. In response 1000 Muslim taxi drivers have started to boycott their customers in the Norwegian capital.

A thousand taxi drivers of Muslim background interrupted their work late Friday, early Saturday morning in protest of the Oslo-Prophet Muhammad cartoons. The reason: The Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, released on Wednesday one of the illustrations on its front page.

Spontaneous demonstration was launched on Friday evening, and urged the busy men behind the wheel to park their cars during the period of two and four o’clock. According to police, the protest went peacefully. Monday, the taxi drivers continued their protests.

Dagbladet used the drawings to illustrate a story, according to which the security police PST’s website has a link to the infamous cartoon images that have given rise to such bad blood. In the drivers’ view, the publication of the picture, was once again unnecessary.

– We wanted to show our opposition to it that makes a mockery of our values, “said the driver Munir Rashad.

Taxi drivers linked to gangs

A large number of Oslo taxi drivers already have been charged with tax evasion and welfare fraud. Now Oslo police suspect around 40 drivers and even more taxi owners of having close contact with Pakistani gangs, and operating as couriers of arms and drugs.

My comment:

The Norwegian Government need to cripple this Taxi Jihad in its infancy. If not, Oslo will soon be turn into Karachi.

What will be the next?

Kebab restaurants refusing to serve newspaper readers?

Nurses refusing to give patients medicine?

Many of the Muslim taxi drivers are Norwegian Citizens. Its no longer possible to deport them back to Pakistan, to a country where they do not have to be troubled by democracy and freedom of expression.
