Noman Mubashir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noman Mubashir (born June 13, 1974) is a Norwegian journalist employed by the NRK. Of Pakistani descent, early in his career he hosted the multi-ethnic programme Migrapolis on NRK and later worked as a news anchor on Østlandssendingen, also NRK. He has published two books. His first release was 'Mitt liv som Ola Noman', where he describes in a humoristic manner his experiences growing up as a child of Pakistani immigrants in Norway. His second publication was 'En Noman i Pakistan' which is a traveller's guide to Pakistan and completes his NRK series of the same title. Mubashir was the first Norwegian of Muslim heritage to ever host the Saturday night entertainment on national television (NRK) in Norway on Saturday, July 30, 2005.

Mubashir has in recent years made himself remarkably noticed in his effort to show that Muslims in Norway are peace-loving people.^{[citation needed]} Also to be noted is that he belongs to the Ahmadi sect, a group that is not accepted as Muslims by other Muslims.
