Threats against Oslo's Jewish community now form part of the indictment against Arslan Ubaydullah Maroof Hussain, who was arrested on October 26, after writing statements on his Facebook group that left Norwegian Jews feeling targeted, the Europe News website reports today (October 31, 2012). In his post, the accused wrote comments referring to the incident in 2006, in which shots were fired at an Oslo synagogue.
Research carried out by Oslo's Holocaust Center about the synagogue shooting found that 4 percent of people -- or approximately 100,000 people -- asked about the shooting, thought the actions were justified in terms of how Israel treats Palestine.
It also suggested that 21 percent saw the shooting as the latest attack on Jews in historical context, 18 percent answered that the attack showed the growing hatred of Jews in Norway.
At today's remand hearing, four police cars were present outside Oslo District Court when Ubaydullah Hussain appeared before the judges.
