Norway: Terror suspect returns for the 8th time

A series of links from Ali Dashti tells an appalling story from Norway. First, a story about an asylum seeker who planned to carry out a suicide mission:

http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article946717.ece

In 2003 an asylum seeker was prepared to carry out a suicide mission on a domestic Norwegian flight. Police revealed the man's intentions. When they intervened, the refugee's bags were packed and plans were found, along with a farewell note to his family. The Norwegian Police Security Service believe the man was capable of taking down a commuter plane in the northern Norway network. In the man's suicide note to his family police said that the act was planned as part of "the struggle against the USA and Norway". Upon his arrest the man was considered psychotic and put under constant medical attention, rather than going through criminal process.

And from Ali Dashti, some comments and brief summaries of related articles:

According to reports on national Norwegian TV (TV2) the man has applied for asylum in Norway no less than seven times. The asylum reception center where he was arrested the last time had not received any information about his past involvement in planning a terror attack and allegedly being psychotic. The Norwegian Pilot's Association is quite upset over the whole story.

Nettavisen reported that the man was back again in Norway, for the eighth time. After being deported to Germany a few days ago he made his way back to Norway by bus. In the interview with TV2 he insisted he would keep coming back to Norway seeking asylum, because "he likes Norway so much." Mr Sandberg, immigration spokesman for the Progress Party, and member of the parliament, demanded he be placed on a military flight and transported directly to Kabul, Afghanistan, rather than just being deported to Germany again.

Newspaper VG claims that this man alone has cost Norwegian tax payers about $100,000 (US dollars):

My comments: What makes matters even worse is that only a few months ago, another Muslim asylum seeker almost managed to crash a plane by entering the cockpit and attacking the pilots with an axe:

Euro Socialist politician beats up Jihadist axeman!

Most of the media, with a few exceptions, and the political establishment immediately blamed the incident on "insanity." It has recently been revealed that the psychiatrists who have evaluated the man thought he was perfectly sane:

My comment: The police also claim the attack was planned. The man was a very devout, religious Muslim who wanted to become an imam. Still, it is not acknowledged here that it most likely was a Jihadist terror attack and attempted suicide mission, despite the fact that Norway has been mentioned twice by Al-Qaida number two as a potential target:

An audio tape said to be from senior al-Qaida official Ayman al-Zawahri called for organized resistance against invading "crusaders" in the Muslim world. The tape, aired by Al Jazeera satellite television on Friday, mentioned Norway as a US ally.

The insanity defense in Western countries will be our downfall. I believe all jihadists are insane. Where does that leave us? Do we want our future determined by psychiatrists?

Perhaps, he was just pining for the fjords...next time, we'll just have to nail his feet to the perch otherwise...VOOOM...he'll be outta the cage.

The decease is Islam and the virus has definately infected the leftie governments of Western Europe. Instead of clearly showing them (the Muzzies) 'This is the LAW, this is how we do it here, you break the law and youre on ya way out'- they are bending over backwards to try to 'integrate' and 'assimilate' them, spending hundreds of thousands to socialize them and just like those who nurse an injured Rattlesnake back to good health they are the first to get bitten.

This SOB should have been dumped in Waziristan and not in Germany.

But his persistence is impressive,
especially 'him likes Norway'- I hope Norway doesn't soften up...

How stupid of them to deport this creep to Germany. What is the point of that? Only a bus trip away. And they're surprised he keeps coming back. Sure, he likes Norway. Probably for the welfare benefits and the lack of security and awareness that would allow him to carry out out his attack eventually. He's desperate for his virgins in paradise, and Norway seems to be the best ticket there.

I agree that all jihadis are insane and psychotic. Insane on Islam. Islam is pure insanity, invented in the dark mind of a psycho. Are there no hospitals for the criminally insane in Norway? That would be the best place for him. Til the day he dies. Otherwise, many Norwegians could end up dying for this idiot's delusions of paradise.

A few years ago Norway criticized and pressured Australia over us turning back that hijacked boat of illegal immigrants/pirates, the Tampa. I wonder if Norwegians still think Australia is so nasty, given all these problems they're having with their "refugees". We're not problem-free, but we'd have way more problems if we hadn't taken a tough stance when we did. The boats stopped. We'd have had 4 years of several thousand "refugees" swamping our shores, and a similar Multicultural "Nirvana" like Europe's. Easier to keep our eye on the few creeps we've got.

Well, at least they are talking about the possibility of terrorist attacks in the future. But they still refuse to see that we have already been hit by at least one:

Feralee, is it true that Howard is cutting back on muslim immigration?

Posted by: Voltaire [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 1, 2005 7:14 AM

Voltaire, as far as legal immigration, there is no discrimination. You just have to meet the qualifications, i.e., good character, decent education, practical skill/profession, no medical problems, good grasp of English. There is nothing that restricts religions or ethnicity.

Much of the Muslim migration was the illegal route, until it was stopped with the Tampa; or through family reunification for those already here. So now, the first hole has been plugged, but it's difficult to plug the other one. We can't do that legally. If they qualify, they're in.
