WHAT TO DO WITH NORWAY'S CHURCHES

is perhaps the saddest question and most telling one of how their society is doing over there. Turning them into mosques is NOT the answer. Is it just me, or is this happening right before our eyes as we sleep more and more? First Spain, now Norway, and that city in Michigan.

The Council's suggestion included turning the decaying buildings into cultural centers, concert halls or mosques - the latter suggestion being one the Progress Party isn't going to take sitting down.

"The church means so much for Norwegian cultural heritage that they must at least not become a house of worship for another religion," Hagen said during parliamentary question time on Wednesday.

PM Bondevik conceded that he felt it would be "unnatural" for Norwegian churches to become mosques, but felt this was finally a decision for the church.
