"PST har derfor sett nærmere på om lag 70 mindreårige, som vi har jobbet med i perioden 01.01.2023 til 01.01.2026, basert på en bekymring knyttet til ekstrem islamisme. [...] IS var den organisasjonen de fleste hadde vist interesse for, etterfulgt av al-Qaida."
English - our translation, unproofreadPST has therefore looked more closely at about 70 minors whom we worked on in the period 01.01.2023 to 01.01.2026, based on a concern related to extreme Islamism. [...] IS was the organisation most had shown interest in, followed by al-Qaida.
p. 4 (Innledning, first paragraph) and p. 7 (section on the minors' weak ideological conviction, last sentence) of the 15-page PDF | verified 2026-10-18
LIMITS: the same report says most of the minors (72 %) were assessed as having a weak or absent ideological conviction, that for some of them the concern about extreme Islamist ideology was dropped, and that some threats about IS turned out to be nonsense. It calls the group relatively small and says PST does not know all radicalised minors (p. 4); 44 % were not followed up with preventive measures because no basis was found, and the concern was reduced for relatively many (p. 13). What drove several of the minors was not known (p. 7). Interest in IS is not membership. PST's own landing page adds: "Det er viktig å understreke at disse kjennetegnene ikke gjelder alle muslimer, men en liten gruppe ekstreme islamister." ("It is important to stress that these characteristics do not apply to all Muslims, but to a small group of extreme Islamists.") The report's background figures on the minors' families and health are not reproduced here.

"The terrorist threat we see today is more diverse and more complex. Threats can come from a wide range of places and ideologies. In the UK and overseas, the threat from Islamist terrorism is the most prevalent and dangerous, but other threats, including extreme right-wing terrorists, threat from hostile states, and related challenges from violence-fixated individuals are of significant concern."
Section 1, Introduction, second paragraph (printed page 3; page 6 of the accessible PDF) | verified 2026-10-18
LIMITS: a government assessment, not a court finding, and the same sentence names extreme right-wing terrorism, hostile states and violence-fixated individuals as significant concerns. The report covers 2025: of 3,034 terrorism-related arrests, 2,779 (92%) were linked to supporting Palestine Action after its proscription on 5 July 2025 (255 once those are removed), so arrests do not measure Islamist activity, and no ideology breakdown of arrests is given. The ideology figures it does give are for persons in custody at 31 December 2025: 155 (58%) held Islamist extremist views, 77 (29%) extreme right-wing views and 35 (13%) other ideologies. The three organisations proscribed in 2025 (Palestine Action, Maniacs Murder Cult, Russian Imperial Movement) are not Islamist. The report says there are limits on how much can be said publicly about certain sensitive techniques. Threat level at publication: SEVERE.
European Parliament
"The European Parliament, [...] Calls on the Council to include on the EU list of terrorist organisations entities and individuals linked to the Muslim Brotherhood where the criteria of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP are met and to apply the corresponding restrictive measures;"
Text adopted P10_TA(2026)0342, opening words (p. 1) and paragraph 15 (p. 10); the gap, marked [...], holds the citations, recitals A to AC and paragraphs 1 to 14 | verified 2026-10-11
LIMITS: a non-binding political resolution of the European Parliament, not a finding by a court or a security service. It lists nobody: only the Council can add a name to the EU terrorist list, and the request is conditional ("where the criteria ... are met"). The same text says that "Islam, as a religion, is not inherently political or hostile, and the overwhelming majority of those who observe Islam as a religion reject violence against civilians in the name of Islam" (recital C) and that "protecting Muslim citizens against discrimination is a democratic obligation" (paragraph 3). The organisations it names in its recitals are described in Parliament's own words, which establish no fact about them. The motion as a whole passed by 381 votes to 167 with 15 abstentions (Parliament's open data for the sitting of 8 October 2026).
