We haven't heard anything about Mullah Krekar for awhile, but search the archives at both Jihad Watch and Dhimmi Watch and you will come up with quite a lot about his jihadist activities and sentiments. Yet he continues to live comfortably in Norway. From Aftenposten, with thanks to the Norwegian Kafir:
German media claim that controversial Norwegian resident mullah Krekar congratulated Osama bin Laden shortly after the terrorist attack on the USA on Sep. 11, 2001.German media are now linking a speech given by Krekar at a mosque in Biara, Iraq, on Sep. 14, 2001 to an allegedly planned assassination on the Iraqi prime minister in Berlin last week, newspaper VG reported.
VG cited Berlin newspaper Der Tagespiel's story that German security police have arrested a man - Jassin F. - that they claim is Krekar's chief financial officer and secretary.
The reports, which were widely used by the German media, claim that Jassin F., an asylum seeker in Germany for six years, was arrested by Kurdish police in North Iraq with USD 40,000 in cash and a tape where Krekar praises bin Laden's terrorist actions in the USA.
German news magazine Der Spiegel said that the four suspects in the assassination attempt are all found in Jassin F's phone book and that both Jassin F. and one of the four are close personal friends of Krekar.
Krekar told VG that it was incorrect that he offered his congratulations after the attack on the USA but would give no further comment.
Krekars's lawyer Brynjar Meling believes the tape's contents may have been misinterpreted.
"I am aware of mullah Krekar praising Osama bin Laden on previous tapes but this is on recordings before September 11," Meling said.
At least some Muslims in Norway seem to know what to do with Islam:

My name is Fatima and I’m an ex-Muslim woman.
In a nut shell, I was married off to a Muslim man. I was 10 and he was a 60-year-old brute. He promised my stepmothers that he would not sleep with me until I reached the age of puberty. But he came to my room soon after our marriage took place. It’s hard to portray all my sufferings and pains. Before my marriage I thought children were brought by storks!
I spent one year in his house and quickly got used to such life. But he desperately needed a son (he had 10 daughters) and I still wasn’t pregnant. He took me to the Muslim doctor. She explained that I simply wasn’t able to have children: I was too young. He didn’t believe and stormed at me. A few weeks later I was thrown out of the house. My stepmothers were also furious and told me that I had to be ashamed of my disobedience. They sent me to Ahmed.
I’m studying at university and learning Norwegian. But most importantly I’m trying to forget my past. However it’s really hard to do as my husband managed to nearly ruin my life. I will never have children because of premature sex. I have never had boyfriends because I’m afraid to be touched by men in a ‘romantic’ way. I’m working with a psychologist to get over this complex.
I think everyone understand why I’m no longer a Muslim.

I was expecting they were "taken out of context".
Norwegian Kafir,
Thanks for the posting. Is there anything we can do to help this woman?
