Trude Brosvik, head of Christian Democratic KrF party in the Sogn og Fjordane county, thinks a mosque will contribute positively to the county. "Like it is important for Christians to have a Church, it's also important for Muslims to have a mosque here in the county. A mosque will be an advantage if we're to take in immigrants," Brosvik told the Firda newspaper.
The Frp party in the county previously announced a new goal to increase the number of residents by 13,000 by 2020.
"KrF is concerned by freedom of religion, and we have a lot of understanding for having people practice their faith. Therefore we principally support that also Muslims should get to build their own hall of assembly," says Brosvik.
