I think Varg grew up in Iraq. Seriously. I do remember him saying something positive about Islam.
He's got "An enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing going on. He like that the Muslims pushback on the Jews, and for a while he was for Muslim immigration into Europe, as he felt it would collapse modern Europe, and you could rebuild from there. He also liked that the Arabs were "no bullshit" types.
It's gone now, but he was an interesting follow on Twitter.
His time in Iraq -
"My story differs a bit from that of other poor Norwegian children, though. My liberation from kindergarten came sooner, when my father was hired to work for Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 1979. He was one of those engineers who helped build Iraq in the years after Saddam Hussein had become president. The English school in Baghdad was full, so when I was 6 years old I was sent to ordinary Iraqi public school.
Iraq was a bad experience in so many ways; my brother and I had to fight off attackers several times, in school and in the streets, we barely escaped rabies infected packs of dogs chasing us in the streets, we once had to run for our lives from a drunk killer, who was still wielding the axe he had used when he killed his wife (he was later shot dead by Iraqi police in the streets), we almost died from food poisoning and so forth. I can add that I also saved the life of an Englishman there, who had drowned in a pool (and he was rescued and resuscitated because to me). I think my parents were extremely irresponsible for taking their family to live in Iraq, but I guess they didn't have the opportunity to know any better like we do today (we can just google it). However, at least I was able to see more of reality than I was in Norway. Reality had in Norway been replaced by some sort of "Social Democratic reality-substitute", where everything is perfect, and where the mighty Norwegian state takes care of everything. Soviet Norway holds your hand, ad mortem."
