Case against Per-Willy Amundsen Over Facebook Messages

 Per-Willy Amundsen's Facebook activity will be scrutinized internally within the Progress Party.

Frp leader Sylvi Listhaug declines to comment on whether Per-Willy Amundsen can continue as the leader of the Justice Committee in the Parliament.

"Now we will handle this matter internally, and we will not discuss it in the media; we will come back to it," Listhaug told NTB.

Listhaug reiterated on Saturday that Amundsen's comments, concerning Muslims and women, are unacceptable.

She refused to label it as racism and also declined to respond to a question about what Amundsen's greeting on International Women's Day says about his view on women.

"I have no need to characterize the statements, other than to say that we find them completely unacceptable, and we will follow up on that," she said.

"What kind of consequences could this have?"

"We will come back to that. Now we are going to hold our national convention here, and then we will address this accordingly."

List of Islamists Amundsen wrote on Thursday evening in the comment section under a post about his support for Israel that he kept a list of Islamists and would send them back to their home countries. He claims to VG that the statement was ironic.

In the comment section of the post, which was deleted, Amundsen wrote:

"Islamists expressing themselves here can go to hell. I will do everything I can to send you back to your home country. If you express anti-Semitic attitudes here until 2025, we can clean up. Let's count you up ... And send you out," among other things, the newspaper reports.

"You have to have seen the entire debate to understand the context. It was full of anti-Semitic posts, direct hatred towards Jews. In addition, there were several strong personal attacks against me. I was called 'subhuman,' 'Nazi,' and 'Anders Behring Breivik's brother,' Amundsen claims in his response to NTB.

Whiskey-induced Post on Women's Day Early Friday morning, Amundsen also posted in honor of International Women's Day, where he criticized "radical women who don't know up from down on a penis."

Women have succeeded in "holding men back," Amundsen wrote in the post, which was reported by Dagbladet and later deleted.

To the newspaper, Amundsen explained that he had drunk too much whiskey and couldn't remember posting it, but it was probably him behind it.

"That's not something I would write today. It doesn't belong on a politician's Facebook page. It's a language that is not acceptable," said Amundsen.

Exploring the Reasons Behind the High Frequency of Earthquakes in Turkey

  The geological setting of Turkey plays a significant role in the high frequency of earthquakes in the country. The North Anatolian Fault Zone, located in the eastern part of the country, is a major tectonic boundary that separates the Eurasian Plate from the Anatolian Plate. This boundary has been the source of several major earthquakes in the past, including the 1939 Erzincan earthquake and the 1999 Izmit earthquake. The movement and collision of these tectonic plates can cause a build-up of stress along the fault line, which can lead to earthquakes. In addition to its geological setting, the rapidly growing population and urbanization in Turkey have also contributed to the increased frequency of earthquakes. As the population grows, so does the demand for housing, which leads to the construction of more buildings. However, many of these buildings may not be equipped to withstand the effects of earthquakes, making them vulnerable to damage and collapse. In addition, the expansio...
