“Mullah Aid” in Norway
2006-06-03
The youth section of the Norwegian Fremskrittspartiet, the major conservative opposition party in the country, has set up a fundraising campaign in which they say they will buy Mullah Krekar a one-way airplane ticket to his home in Northern Iraq. Krekar, whose real name is Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, is an Iraqi Kurd who received political asylum in Norway in 1991. According to KrekarÂ’s lawyer the campaign is not funny and proves that the FremkrittspartietÂ’s youth section has no respect for human rights.
"'Tain't funny, y'know. My client may be a terrorist but he has human rights! And one o' those human rights is to never have nobody make fun of him!"
Despite being recognized as a fugitive from Saddam HusseinÂ’s Iraq, Krekar travelled home regularly until 2002.
That'd tell me that he didn't really need asylum, just a place to crash between fatwahs, but what the hell do I know?
He helped establish an Islamist republic there.
No, he didn't. He was the titular head of Ansar al-Islam, or maybe the spiritual head.

#7  The difference between Krekar and Hirsi Ali? He threatens the Norwegians with terror attacks if they throw him out, and she is kicked out because her enemies threaten the Dutch with terror attacks if she is allowed to stay.

Which is no difference at all. Both cases, the terrorists win. Mullah threatens to kill if he's kicked out and Mullahs threaten to kill if the apostate isn't kicked out. Same thing.

#5  He received the support of various left-wing groups and of the Norwegian branch of Amnesty International.

So explain to me why AI isn't listed as a terrorist sponsoring organization?

#3  I can't really condone this, since jet travel is bad for The Environment™. Instead, just attach him to a heavy object and fire him out of a siege catapult in the general direction of Iraq.

#1  This is another one. Can't raise the funds for a full ride ? Dump him in north Atlantic. Let him swim for it.
