(Anadolu) The number of converted Muslims in Norway increased to at least 3,000 in the recent years, a researcher at Oslo University’s Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages said.
Norway’s leading Verdens Gang newspaper reported on Sunday that the number of Norwegians choosing to become Muslim since [the] 1990s [has] increased.
The report said the number of converted Muslims in the country during [the] 1990s [was] around 500 while this number has reached around 3,000 in the recent years.
Noting that previously Norwegian women used to convert to Islam as a result of marrying Muslim men, Vogt said: “This trend has now changed drastically. Now, women are choosing Islam after reading and researching about Islam.”
