Norway banishes jihadist cleric to remote village

Feb 2, 2015 10:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Mullah KrekarWhat did Kyrksaeteroera do to deserve Mullah Krekar? What will prevent Mullah Krekar from waging jihad from Kyrksaeteroera? “Norwegian law bars him from being deported to Iraq, where he risks the death penalty.” So Mullah Krekar’s life is more valuable than those of the Norwegians he may cause to be murdered. That is the prevailing philosophy these days.

“Norway banishes ‘hate preacher’ to remote village,” AFP, February 2, 2015:

Oslo (AFP) – A court in Oslo on Monday authorised police to banish Iraqi Kurd “hate preacher” Mullah Krekar to a remote Norwegian village.

The mullah, 58, who has been living in Norway since 1991, founded the radical Islamist group Ansar al-Islam.

He was released from prison at the end of January after serving a two-year, 10-month sentence for making threats against Prime Minister Erna Solberg, before she came to office, and three Kurds.

The police had invoked special measures to order Krekar, whose real name is Najmeddine Faraj Ahmad, to live in a refugee centre in Kyrksaeteroera, a village of 2,500 people situated 500 kilometres (300 miles) from the capital.

The defence had argued that the court needed to examine the legality of the decision, which prohibits the married father of four from leaving the village and which requires him to report to local police three times a week.

“With some misgivings, the court considers that the basic national interest, at least until 31 December 2015, must take precedence over Faraj’s right to a family life, freedom to move freely throughout the country and to choose his own place of residence,” read the court’s decision.

Krekar’s lawyer, Brynjar Meling, appealed the decision and asked that it be suspended pending review.

Krekar has been living under risk of deportation since 2003 after Norwegian authorities ordered him to be expelled, claiming he posed a threat to national security.

While Norway’s court system has upheld the ruling, Norwegian law bars him from being deported to Iraq, where he risks the death penalty….

    We will know when the last straw has landed when suicidal nations like Norway decide that the lives and liberty and tax dollars of its citizens takes precedent over saving the life of a murderous hate-filled moslem on jihad. Until that time comes, Norway is, by default, doomed.

      If the Norwegian State is intent on avoiding the death penalty for anyone and everyone, then fanatics like Armad should be in an island prison for the rest of their days; otherwise we might just see him pop up in a coffee shop one day in Narvik to carry out some ritualistic mass murder.

      Jennifer – you write at
      February 3, 2015 at 4:27 a.m. that there are muslims “that you can name” (but whom you do not name) who have embraced western values and are not jihadists.

      Are you really certain of this? Do you know that just being muslim is – ipso facto – incompatible with western values?

      It is extremely dangerous to believe that there are good muslims who are harmless. Those “good muslims” – even if they indeed never become jihadists – are enabling, even if by only legitimizing, via their supposed adoption of western values, a murderous cult. Foolish liberals will therefore – and do therefore – say that because these apparently nice muslim women act nice then we cannot call for the ban on a murderous cult.

      It’s not “hate” to criticize a hateful cult that calls for the destruction of civilization.

      • Nat says

        Feb 3, 2015 at 5:56 am

        And Jennifer,

        I include this quotation from the article on the Seattle teacher under fire – for showing her students Charlie Hebdo cartoons – in order to underscore my assertion that muslims cannot adopt western values:

        “… Like Yessef, many at the protest said they’d lived in the U.S. for decades and emphasized that they embraced American values of freedom of speech and religion. But more than one participant said they felt that showing the cartoons to youth had crossed a line, and insisted that they would only be satisfied if Bhandaru were fired….”

        Don’t be fooled, Jennifer. While there may be some nice muslim women who appear to you to have adopted western values, they cannot have done so and remain muslims. The only way to adopt western values is to denounce and renounce a cult that calls for the destruction of civilization.

          Tinkering at the edges to contain Islam will fail. The day will come when after many more innocent people are slaughtered by this ‘religion of Peace’ that radical action will be taken. At the moment the west is in the grip of appeasement similar to that of the 1930s in regard to Hitlers Germany when only one man told it how it was. The policy of Multi culturalism is directly responsible for the situation in which the west finds itself .

          @ Martin Infidel.
          Touché!! …and may we never, never forget that under islamic law, a woman’s rights and credibilities are not judged upon the facts, but rather, upon what her accusers SAY that she did! Without a doubt, any woman who supports islamic law over Western values and jurisprudence, is socially and mentally in need of serious help – AND THAT’S A FACT!

  2. Ayatrollah says

    Feb 2, 2015 at 11:51 pm

    Note he is a Kurd. Kurds are Muslims who recognize the one true religion. Some of them cause problems like this. Today Kruds are “good” Muslims according to who we support in the war on Isis. This is misleading. We need a meter that plugs into ears to tell us “good” Muslims from “bad” Muslims.,

    • Rick Spencer says

      Feb 3, 2015 at 12:18 am

      Hi ‘Troll’… Good vs bad Muslims? Based on the Qur’an, Hadith and Sira, the founder of Islam, Muhammad himself, would say that the ‘good’ Muslims are the ones making war and creating mayhem for Allah’s cause and the ‘bad’ Muslims are the peaceful ones. It would appear that the likes of ISIS, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram and Ansat al-Islam (to name a few of many Muslim terrorist organisations) are precisely following Muhammad’s doctrine of Jihad to spread the so-called ‘religion’ of Islam. These are the ‘good’ Muslims, doing their duty – business as usual! Cheers… Rick

      Good muslim?? remember what the old west said about the first Americans?(and I don’t believe that)

      I suppose there are some muslims that just want to live their lives ,go to their mosques say their prayers pay alms and just sell their goods but they are few and far between.

      I would hope as a Christian that if it came to life or death by the muslim sword I would take death before succumbing to Islam but would the same be true of a muslim a so called “good” muslim I’m afraid he would take life and succumb to sharia law. Sny thoughts out there on that??

    “Norwegian law bars him from being deported to Iraq, where he risks the death penalty”

    Laws need to change and adapt. PC leaders must be removed from office. The UN and the EU must be dismantled.
    The solution: non-stop massive demonstrations PEDIGA-style.

    The title should read “Norway banishes remote village to jihadist cleric”.

    Why do some nice people in rural Norway need this? So unfair. I don’t know if I could contain myself if I had a couple (not 8) of kids and saw him coming along.

    • Kepha says

      Feb 3, 2015 at 7:43 pm

      If Mullah Krekar lands in rural Norway, it is my prayer that some good, pieisitc, Lutherans of either the Hans Nilson Hauge or Lars Levi Lestaedius (in case he lands among the Sami and Kven) version turn him to Christ.

    Gotta love our western elites’ habit of sending more and more “problem” people to the outskirts and rural small communities. I just found out the town I grew up in is a designated “sanctuary city” for syrian “refugees” and that the gov is targeting small towns as places to send this muslim scum to. Sickening.

    It was the same way to keep away a radical mulla,as it was in Spain,when II Spanish Republica,with gral.
    Franco,he was sending out of the spaanish peninsula tpo Canary Islans,as we know it was a big mistake as Franco was out of watch.it is a big mistake.

    Step 1: banish the qur’an – that is where the bloody-mindedness, blood-thirstiness, the satisfaction of lying, cheating, killing killing all come from. Step 2: forbid imams to accept any muslims who cannot recite the thing by heart (this is to exercise their brains a little). Step : banish all & any muslim education systems – the children have to learn ordinary history, read proper books, and learn to think & argue with their newly stimulated brains.

    • M S case says

      Feb 3, 2015 at 6:59 pm

      Yes Lia banishing the Koran is a good step to take. Any book that instructs it’s believers to kill should be banned but you need to ban the9 religion???) too. In the first place islam is not a religion and we must pass laws to that effect. Passing laws to ban something that is supposed to be a religion might leave a bad taste in legislators mouth. You just have to get your mindset that it IS NOT a religion.. ANY religion that promotes killing another human being is not and can never be a religion, maybe a cult, I don’t know But both the Koran and Islam should be banned.

      I can not find anywhere in the New Testament where Jesus said for me to kill anyone and Christianity is based on His teachings So get the laws passed is the first step then ban the Koran and islam itself.

  10. John Magne Trane says

    Feb 3, 2015 at 5:17 am

    Kyrksæterøra is the name of the place, in case anyone wondered if Norwegian is vowel-crazy. Kyrk = church, by the way.

    What I find amusing about this terrorist being “banished” to that barbarian place, Central Norway, is that the community there voted mostly Labour. And that is the socialist party that this islamist wants all muslims in Norway to vote for. The locals are not amused.

    “He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him” John 1:11

    A good second is the typo the government channel Nrk had: Mulla Krek instead of Krekar. Krek = Wretched guy, creep

    Tinkering at the edges when dealing with Islam is not going to work. Only after another mass slaughter of innocent people will our politicians accept that the so called ‘religion of Peasce ‘ is indeed incompatible with the West .At present we are in the grip of appeasement to Islam similar to the 1930s when only one man in England could see the danger.of Hitlers Germany. The government at that time preferred to stick their collective heads in the sand and hope for the best. The policy of multi culturalism is directly responsible for the situation in which the west finds itself and was always doomed to fail. The naievety of our socialist leaders will one day be held accountable

      I agree with your comments, Roger Woodhouse, that we are in the grip of appeasement, and that the moronic policy of multi-culturalism was always doomed to failure.

      Sooner, or later, there will be an accounting, and the moronic leaders who created this dismal situation, will be decimated.

    @ Jennifer
    What muslims “wish to” do does not define Islam.
    It is irrelevant. Islam is not Pick Your Own.

  17. Michael Copeland says

    Feb 3, 2015 at 12:00 pm

    One day these under-informed reporters may discover that the “hate” preached by the “hate-preachers” is not personal to them. It is their job. The hate is prescribed in the Koran, as in the “excellent pattern” praised in 60:4, “animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah [Islam] alone”.

  18. David Schwep says

    Feb 3, 2015 at 12:03 pm

    Deport this wicked man to Iraq anyway – he deserves the death sentence. If not, put a millstone tied to his neck and cause him to sink to the bottom of the deepest Fjord.

  19. vox populi says

    Feb 3, 2015 at 12:25 pm

    The fact he cannot be deported to Irak, where by the way seem to knwo exactly how to treat him, is not correct : he could just be parachuted, along with his family, over Raqqa or Mosul.

    any moral issue solved.

    NEEEEXT ….

    Is so difficult to chahge the law? Norwegians are not doing themselves a favor by keeping that lunatic in Norway. The preaches hate and threatens the people that feed him and his family. Are the govt or the lawmakers only going to act seriously when the Jihadist cleric commits murder or what?

    Further snippets of information provided are provided in an article on the Rudaw website.

    “Norway banishes Krekar to remote village; Italy extradition reportedly pending”

    Don’t know what to make of the reference to extradition to Italy — it isn’t properly explained in the body of the article.

    Same article says:

    “Leading Kurdish Islamist parties with political strength have reportedly pushed authorities in Kurdistan to terminate the charges against Krekar and ease his return.

    “We know that Mulla Krekar’s brother has been in talks with the authorities in Kurdistan to make the (legal) arrangements for his return,” Muhammad Hakim, a senior spokesperson for Kurdistan’s Islamic Society (KIS), said recently.”
