Labour MP Ashraf Choudhary has dismissed Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik's suggestion he "struggles" with being the only Muslim MP in a country the gunman saw as relatively free of Islamic influence.
Breivik, who has admitted shooting dead 69 people at a summer camp for the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour Party, made the statement in a "manifesto".
It also contained part of a speech by Australian historian Keith Windschuttle at Punga Cove in the Marlborough Sounds in 2006.
Hours before the Utoya Island massacre and car bomb attack in Oslo which killed a further eight people, he emailed his manifesto to 1003 people.
He wrote that Dr Choudhary struggled with his role as sole Muslim representative in Parliament, and "will not condemn the traditional Koran punishment of stoning to death some homosexuals and people who have extramarital affairs ... But [he] assures that he is not advocating the practice in the West."
