HISTORY: Asane Church Norway

Again on the Old Asane Church from Bergen, Norway page on wikipedia they have band links on the page that need to be removed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_%C3%85sane_Church

Varg Vikernes was not convicted of burning Fantoft in the material I am reading, however they stopped media coverage in the church arsons in the 1990's and made it an un-publicized case so you don't know the real outcomes. 

This church was burned by Varg Vikernes from the bands Mayhem / Burzum  and Jorn Tunsberg from the band Immortal who lives in Bergen they say, and served two years in prison for burning this church.

This Church was also reconstructed, into the different brick building of different circular shape as Norway has different and unique Church architecture like Fantoft.

Really though, they should have reconstructed the original in some format as well.

More work needs to be spent in reconstructing these Churches and correct their historical pages, the should be no band entries on them.

What is also important to this case of the church arsons is that many of the people convicted of these arsons not only served prison time but were also sentenced to financial repayment to the Norway Government when they were sued by the courts and many probably had to pay back the Church for the arsons.

In the material I discovered that the Norway Government and the Church have absolved those convicted of the arsons saying they have repaid back their debts and should continue to live as normal and not have to be under hardship of large financial repayments, however it appears that many of them still had to pay back the Church for the arsons even if the Church leadership were opposed.

I'm not saying that the people who did this need to be absolved of their debts to the church or Norway Government if ordered by the courts, however public support should be brought to restore the Churches or recreate them for historical value for Norway's Church History.

When this is written in the history books in Norway they need to focus on the value of the Churches and their restoration not the small footnote of the arsons in the 1990's.

Whatever the outcome was, today only one person is still in prison for murder they say and the criminal issue is resolved.    

Despite the value of the damages caused by the arsons the public and the church in Norway should still take the time to correct all these history pages and restore the churches to their proper historical context in Norway and remove all the band and music references from the story.
