"UDI: Mullah Krekar will be expelled," from the Norway Post, with thanks to the Norwegian Kafir:
The Immigration Directorate (UDI) maintains its decision to expel Mullah Krekar, made in 2003.This is the conclusion made after UDI has heard an appeal by Krekar over the expulsion order.
In February 2003 the UDI decided that Mullah Krekar would lose his refuge status, his travel documents, as well as his work and residence permits in the interest of national security.
At his excellent Fjordman blog, Norwegian Kafir comments: "Too good to be true? We've heard it before." We certainly have.
Taken them long enough.
"Taken them long enough."
Look up the definition of a "Politically Correct dhimmi country" in a dictionary, and it will show you a photo of Norway. Well, next to Sweden, perhaps.
Norwegian: Perhaps you haven't heard of Canada. I think we lead in the politically correct sweepstakes. If Krekar lived here it would take 15 years to get him deported - if at all.
Norwegian Kafir and johnb,
Neither Norway nor Canada is topping the charts of dhimmitude, Holland has perfected dhimmitude, so don't flatter yourselfs. ;)
Jan Vink:
This is a hell of a contest we have here - if you win you lose.
Cheers.
It's a Canadian gold medal in this competition.
Those Dutch and Norwegians are still in the starting block when it comes to true dhimmitude.
Canada would have found an honour or two to bestow on this guy.
Here's a editorial from Die Welt:

Europe, Thy Name Is Cowardice
A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe — your family name is appeasement." It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because it's so terribly true.
Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements.
Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe where for decades, inhuman, suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities.
Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and, even though we had absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, we Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do our work for us.
Rather than protecting democracy in the Middle East, European appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word "equidistance," now countenances suicide bombings in Israel by fundamentalist Palestinians.
Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace-movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush... Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of billions, in the corrupt U. N. Oil-for-Food program.
And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement. How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere? By suggesting that we really should have a "Muslim Holiday" in Germany.
I wish I were joking, but I am not. A substantial fraction of our (German) Government, and if the polls are to be believed, the German people, actually believe that creating an Official State "Muslim Holiday" will somehow spare us from the wrath of the fanatical Islamists.
One cannot help but recall Britain's Neville Chamberlain waving the laughable treaty signed by Adolph Hitler, and declaring European "Peace in our time".
What else has to happen before the European public and its political leadership get it? There is a sort of crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our free, open Western societies, and intent upon Western Civilization's utter destruction.
It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than any of the great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by "tolerance" and "accommodation" but is actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness.
Only two recent American Presidents had the courage needed for anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush.
His American critics may quibble over the details, but we Europeans know the truth. We saw it first hand: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, freeing half of the German people from nearly 50 years of terror and virtual slavery. And Bush, supported only by the Social Democrat Blair, acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic War against democracy. His place in history will have to be evaluated after a number of years have passed.
In the meantime, Europe sits back with charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner, instead of defending liberal society's values and being an attractive center of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China.
On the contrary, we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to those "arrogant Americans", as the World Champions of "tolerance", which even Otto Schily justifiably criticizes.
Why?
Because we're so moral? I fear it's more because we're so materialistic, so devoid of a moral compass.
For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and a massive and persistent burden on the American economy, because unlike almost all of Europe, Bush realizes what is at stake — literally everything.
While we criticize the "capitalistic robber barons" of America because they seem too sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our Social Welfare systems. Stay out of it! It could get expensive! We'd rather discuss reducing our 35-hour workweek or our dental coverage, or our 4 weeks of paid vacation, or listen to TV pastors preach about the need to "Reach out to terrorists, to understand and forgive".
These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands, frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when she notices a robber breaking into a neighbor's house.
Appeasement? Europe, thy name is Cowardice.
Yes, I don't think we should crack open the Bolly until the parasite's well and truly gone.
Go, Norway! May Krekar's expulsion be followed by many more in much of Europe and North America. And I, as an American taxpayer, resent supporting the likes of Sheikh Abdurrahman and Ramzi Yusuf for the rest of their days. Those two should've been given the martyrdom they so craved ages ago, courtesy of lethal injection.
Sococm, if the Muslims really want to live peaceably near me, I'm happy to give them their Eid off. I'm old enough to remember having Christmas, Good Friday, and Yom Kippur off in a certain East Coast American jurisdiction--with everyone and his brother knowing perfectly well what these days off were all about.
And my hat's off to Die Welt.
