Ex-Muslim critic of Islam expelled from Norway, faces deportion to Pakistan and death

Jul 30, 2014 5:54 am By Robert Spencer

imran_firasatFirasat has been sent back to Spain, where he faces deportation to Pakistan. In Pakistan, he would certainly be killed. “The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that Firasat should be expelled from the country, being a security threat.” But it is not actually Imran Firasat who is the security threat; it is the Muslims who might become violent because of the uncomfortable truths that Firasat tells about Islam. The Spanish authorities, however, are unable or unwilling to confront them.

If there were any justice in the regime in Washington, Firasat would be able to get asylum in the United States. But there isn’t.

“Imran Firasat kicked out of Norway,” by Hans Rustad, Document.no, July 28, 2014 (thanks to Mohammad):

The wellknown islam-critic Imran Firasat (36) was Monaday afternoon put on a plane and sent back to Spain.

Firasat came to Norway July 8th, and hoped to apply for asylum. Instead he was put in prison, in the very same wing where the notorious mullah Krekar is sitting. But while Krekar can enjoy the right not to be expelled from Norway, because he might be harmed, no such consideration was given Firasat.

Norwegian authorities stick to the formal side of things: Spain is a signatory to the Dublin-convention, which stipulates that all asylum seekers should have their application processed by the authorities in the first country they enter.

But the tricky thing is that the Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that Firasat should be expelled from the country, being a security threat.

The move in all probability stemmed from a film Firasat made, in cooperation with the American pastor Terry Jones. One may deliberate if that was such a good idea. Jones is a leper in the eyes of many authorities for his Quran-autodafés. The film in itself is quite innocuous compared to the gore that islamists continously spew out. But there is no such thing as a reckoning or tit for tat. The greater the islamist menace, the greater the fear in many European countries of insulting Muslims.

Firasat has, on top of it all, converted to Christianity. If he were to be expelled to Pakistan, his country of origin, or Indonesia, where authorities claim he committed a murder, he would certainly be killed, one way or the other.

This possibility, Norwegian authorities refused to consider. The fact that the Spanish Supreme Court cancelled his asylum status, by ruling in favour of expulsion, was for them irrelevant, something they disregarded.

One cannot escape the notion, that people like Firasat are hunted. Brutally treated by his country of origin for marrying a Buddhist, escaping Pakistan’s clutches, he turns against islam and for this he is punished by the very same country that originally gave him asylum.

Dark Times in Europe. Indeed.

    “Funny”. In Europe we always hear the politicians ask for the moderate muslims to step forward, to talk against the extremists.
    Here we have a guy who does just that. He even converted to Christianity and what do we do?
    We toss him out…

    No wonder so few wants to speak against extremists, the second they do they loose all support.

      I read somewhere that Norway has turned down asylum applications and sent back many Iraqi Christians…knowing that they face certain death.
      Damn the cowardice and the treachery of European politicians!

    Why not seek asylum in israel? it is the only country you can still speak freely about whatever you like.

    Thousands of illegal immigrants and a good deal of refugees from sudan and the like come to israel every year.

    Couple of really important points to add:

    1) He is incurring Allah’s SWT wrath….you are forgetting what he did by creating that awful film….you may have forgotten …but your Allah SWT has not …in particular ridiculing the holy union between Muhammed SAW and Aiesha.

    2) Making films…and trying to get Muslims riled up deliberately…no longer works…it seems that kufar want to shut that avenue down before it even reaches us…ROFL.

    As for Israel…no body will want to go there…soon the whole world will slap economic sanctions on Israel …they just need to keep killing babies and children …and they will get there.

    More Later….

      “Muhammed SAW ”
      What a nickname!

      This is the same thief who clamed to worship Allah by punishing other thieves with his SAW.

      Important points??? You are joking aren’t you. Allahs wrath??? in particular ridiculing the holy union between Muhammed SAW and Aiesha. ???? We all know that muhammed was a grade one paedo.. aiesha was 6 years old when he started molesting her, screwing her thighs etc.. and 9 when he started screwing her proper. If your allah thinks that is a good thing then he is a devil. Muhammed also said you can have sex with you goat so long as you slaughter it and sell the meat to another village. Sounds like a complete and utter pervert to me. He also said that you can murder someon and take his wife as a slave and then rape her all in one day. Sounds like a pshchopath to me so your hero the most perfect human ever is a psychopathic, child molesting murdering thief, goat screwing. devil worshipper.

        Dear Firasat, try to apply to Canadian immigration , write a letter to support your request. Don’t give up, you know already how to ask God, you will have an open door, may be many doors if you ask to our Holy Father. Ask in the name of Jesus, and all will be granted to you is you ask this way. Blessings to you.

      One important note to add.

      Allah is a myth and Mohammed a fool. Therefore no wrath can be ascribe to this false deity.

      The wrath is solely the responsibility of people who believe in the myth and act on it.

      If allah were so true and powerful, would he require these useful idiots to carry out his will? Could he behead me without the hands of a human, which we all know are so easy to deceive? He certainly could not! HE WILL NOT!!! For he is not real.

      News Flash: allah does not really exist, and islam is a house divided against itself. It will not stand for much longer. 4.5 million muslims are no match for 350,000 Hebrews. HMMM!

      It’s time radical muslims get the clue. They will not win this fight no matter how big they think they are. They tell lies to them selves about winning and flatter each other in the disgraceful name of allah, and they will end up killing each other first.

      Mythical moon god allah is powerless without these useful idiots, and not much better off with them. We MUST forsake all that allah is about.

      Fear not, for death is an illusion.

    Norway’s indifference and Spain’s cowardice are reprehensible. This guy just needs assistance and I thought that there was a clause in the UN agreement that forbade returning a person to certain death? Send him to the US if all other European/Asian countries are to afraid to accept him, or would allow him to be killed while in their country. Europe & Asia need to realize that you can’t be neutral in this matter.

    Can we not deport just one MS-13 border breacher to make room for this brave man here in America?

    Obama and Holder wouldn’t allow that though, since that would mean one less vote for Democrats.

    Plus, as our Commander-in-Chief has said, ” The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam. “

    If it is a genuine case then its very sad.

    But must remember there are many people how support extremism in Pakistan and change there religion o get Asylum, After asylum they follow their previous routine.
    But if he really deserves asylum. He should be granted Asylum.

    • Semeru says

      Jul 31, 2014 at 4:37 am

      He should be granted Asylum.

      He was granted asylum, but he abused his asylum conditions, by fleeing to Indonesia, one of the countries he sought asylum from. He fled to Spain under very suspicious circumstances.

      Here is a translation of what was published on 24 February 2008 just after Firasat and his wife fled to Indonesia

      They took flight leaving a trail of victims and debts behind. Imran Firasat and Jenny Setiawan, political refugees in Cantabria who need to answer before a court in relation to the case filed by their business partners from Santander, have abandoned the flat they were living in and also the city. And the lawyer for the accusers has now asked the judge for a search and capture order covering all the national territory. For the many Cantabrians who threw themselves into helping them because of their hard personal history, the Pakistani and the Indonesian must have been a great disappointment.

      Firasat and Setiawan succeeded in gaining temporary authorisation to reside in Cantabria in view of their exceptional circumstances: marriage between a Muslim and a Buddhist is punished by both religions, which prevented them from returning to either of their countries of origin. Having arrived in this region from Germany, Firasat moved like a fish in water between institutions and communication media. He even organised an internet campaign to support his cause.

      Having achieved their goal of regularising their stateless situation, the pair opened a catering business in the Grupo Amaro in Santander, called ‘Kebabish’. Under this name they formed a company with two Cantabrian couples who quarrelled with them in relation to business-related crimes approximately one month ago: after opening three premises (the Grupo Amaro one, another in Menéndez Pelayo and a third in Marqués de la Hermida), the young man and his wife sold them without the knowledge of their business partners. This gave rise to the complaint for document falsification and administrative fraud.

      One of the accusers had also rented a home to them. Because they stopped paying the rent a few months ago, an eviction process has been started.

      These were not the only “irregularities” committed by the political refugees. Maite Calderón, owner of a signage company, has also filed a complaint with the police after observing that the Pakistani had given her a cheque without any funds for an amount just below 600 euros. The businesswoman says it is not the money that bothers her (“I don’t expect to get it back”) but the “tremendous disappointment”. “The personal deception hurts me. When he gave me the cheque dated February, he was already preparing his flight”.

      Calderón – who had no previous knowledge of the history of the immigrants through the media – is aware that the young man “had a wide circle of people who were supporting him. He offered to make all of them partners in his business. Now it’s clear his only aim was to rip them off”.

      She doesn’t think it will be easy to find him. “It would be a stroke of luck”, she notes. A fortune for all those who have been left unpaid, she indicates, “because there were also people, like bar suppliers, that he has left owing”.

      The family that support him in his business projects have it worst. A few days ago they learned that they will have to pay the bank the amount they guaranteed (€30,000) for him and they are very upset.

      And the local government also have knowledge of the couple, who got a grant to start their business which these sources put at almost 5,000 euros with specific conditions that, if not fulfilled, would mean it had to be returned.

      For this reason an investigation has been opened, as has been confirmed by the ex-partners of the Pakistani and the first to accuse him in the situation, who are moving heaven and earth to find him.

      These persons add that, among the victims, is a former employee and the compatriot to whom he sold the premises in Menéndez Pelayo. It seems the man who convinced so many people of his painful family situation will have to give many explanations. But for that, he first has to stick his neck out.

      http://www.eldiariomontanes.es/20080224/cantabria/firasat-levanta-vuelo-20080224.html

      The shyster arrives in Germany in 2004, supposedly from Pakistan, along with the woman Jenny Setiawan he claims is his wife, supposedly an ethnic Chinese Buddhist who is a citizen of Indonesia. Firasat says Setiawan had previously fled Indonesia to Pakistan to escape Muslim fanatics who killed her family in Indonesia. This is perhaps the world’s first recorded example of a person fleeing to Pakistan to escape Muslim fanatics

      Following the advice of an African he met in the detention centre at the airport, they decide to leave Germany for Spain. According to him, the legislation is more permissive in Spain than in other countries.

      He was finally granted asylum in Spain.

      After being in Spain for 4 years he was able to start three kebab restaurants with the help of loans made to wife, but he fled to Indonesia and started to open 8 Kebab restaurants.

      Let,s repeat

      Firasat settles in Cantabria and gets involved in various business activities there with local people, setting up kebab restaurants. He flees Cantabria in 2007, leaving many outraged partners behind who claim they were defrauded. A nationwide search and capture order is issued for him in Spain.

      At this point, it seems Firasat returned to Indonesia with his wife, the country where he claimed they could not live initially because they were an interfaith couple and then because he would be persecuted for his criticism of Islam.

      At the very least, the fact that he voluntarily returned to a country from which he claimed he would face persecution suggests the original claim for asylum contained a major element of fraud.

      Now where did the money come from to live and support a family of five for three years, plus opening 8 restaurants. Something doesnt add up

      Any way Firasat flees back to Spain, again under very suspicious circmstances where not only Spains allows him to enter after abusing his asylum, but also refuse to send him back to Indonesia to face murder charges.

      Firasat has claimed that his family has been threatened in Indonesia, but Firasat has not made any attempt to bring them out of danger, he has not made one appeal or attempt to help to save his family, instead he is putting them in more danger.

      Also Firasat claims his wife is Buddhist, she is known in Europe as Jenny Setiawan, but in Indonesia her name is Linna Serachman, which is very much a muslim name.

      The man is a shyster and should go back to indonesia to face trial for the murder of Victor Rizky Wibowo

        Thank you so much dear Semeru

        For telling the truth about Mr Firasat.

        I really appreciate your effort to open the eyes of people supporting his case.

        Now it is clear that he is a shyster and abused his asylum status.

        I think every one should read your comment to find out the reality about the case. Rather than supporting Farasat, we should encourage the writer to of the article to edit his article to reveal the truth behind his deportation. Every country should grant asylum o genuine asylum seekers and should deport these kind of people who abuse Asylum status and create problems to the locals who support them for settlement.

        Regards,
        Wajid.

          Even if someone is a “shyster” and “abuse their immigration status” but they were otherwise solidly anti-Islam, then it wouldn’t matter; the latter is more important. If however the former somehow impinged upon the latter so as to diminish or compromise the latter, that of course (helloooo, Logic 101) would require adjustment on our assessment.

          So Wajid’s and Semeru’s motivations here are suspect.

        • Semeru says

          Jul 31, 2014 at 10:51 pm

          So Wajid’s and Semeru’s motivations here are suspect.

          No question that Firasats motives could be highly suspect.

          There are quite a lot of news reports about Firasat that date back to 2004 from when he first arrived in Frankfurt until he fled from Spain in 2008.

          In all those reports there is nothing to support that he was an active counter-jihadist or support that he was threatened by islamists, so as to flee to Indonesian.

          From 2004 to 2008 Firasat has a solid history of playing the victim card.

          Upon returning from Indonesia, he has provoked islamists, and continued playing the victim card. He has not made any effort to get his family out of Indonesia, instead his has created a situation making it almost impossible to send him back to face justice

          There is nothing special about Firasat, he should face the charges to murder he is suspect of committing, and being a counter-jihadi should not stand in the way of justice

    RE: Norway.

    They put this man in prison, when he applied for asylum.

    The same NORWAY that just a few days ago (last week) was “preparing’ for a Muslim ‘attack” and closing public buildings, etc.

    I have not heard of any such attack.

    I was criticized for saying, in essence, if Norway is subject to a Muslim attack, I for one would shed no tears.

    Now, it seems Norway has no use for someone who is anti Muslim.

    As to Semeru, and his claim that this man is a shyster, who defrauded people, in Indonesia.

    The article states that he is to be sent 9deported) to PAKISTAN. Indonesia is not mentioned.

      The article clearly says

      Firasat has, on top of it all, converted to Christianity. If he were to be expelled to Pakistan, his country of origin, or Indonesia, where authorities claim he committed a murder, he would certainly be killed, one way or the other.

      Whayis so in creditable about this shyster, he has pulled the wool over the eyes of most in the counter-jihad movement including Mr Spencer.

      What is most surprising is that Spencer is shilling for a suspected, If Spencer really believed in justice then he would see that Firasat stood trail for the suspected murder of the christian Victor Rizky Wibowo.

      What a load of hypocrites, the would clammer for a muslim to to deported to face justice for a suspected crime, but they cry foul when it is a (christain) who is to be deported.

      The only reason why Firasat was not depoted to Indonesia, is because Indonesia has the death penalty for murder.
