What is it with these people? Oh, that's right: the only court is a Shari'a court. BTW, the caption for the foto is "Krekar studies the Koran during his appeals trial in Oslo." I didn't know the Koran covers Norwegian immigration law...

Mullah Krekar became visibly upset with assistant government advocate Tolle Stabell's line of questioning and threatened to leave the room during Friday's proceedings at Oslo's court of appeals. Stabell began his questioning of mullah Krekar by trying to determine Krekar's interpretation of "jihad" and whether he felt that Islam could approve of armed reaction to political disagreement. Krekar called Stabell's approach, which included a mention of the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat in 1981 as a waste of his designated court time. Krekar is trying to overturn the decision to expel him from Norway on the grounds that he is a national security risk and has violated the terms of his residence. "This has nothing to do with the deportation ruling. You are judging my statements. If you compel me I will leave the courtroom," Krekar said, clearly agitated and upset. Krekar, born Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, is the former leader of militant Kurdish Islamic group Ansar al-Islam. Krekar has previously said that Anwar Sadat was an infidel that came to power in Egypt via a coup and that he deserved to die.

Also:

Former Ansar Al-Islam leader mullah Krekar compared his goal for Kurds with the establishment of the state of Israel as he testified in his trial to overturn a decision to expel him from Norway. On Thursday morning mullah Krekar began his explanation of why he should not be sent out of the country.

"It's like this, yer Honor..."

Before beginning his testimony the mullah kissed the Koran and said that Norwegian authorities were justified in their investigation but explained that he felt a victim of religious persecution. "I perceive this as being due to my faith. Sixty years ago it was the Jews in this situation, 27 years ago it was the Shia Muslims. Today they all have power in their countries," mullah Krekar said.

#1 If you compel me I will leave the courtroom," Krekar said...

...and the courthouse, and the city, and the country, and the continent.

By George, I think he's got it!

#3 No, all the 'Hol'le'y 'K'Qur'ram's's' smell funny since the deadly 'flu'i'ing incident and make you forget that 'a''ll''ah' is not god and 'mo'hamme'med was a damned liar.

...and no doubt go back to doing his one man show based on the work of Andy Kaufman, Latka Lives!.
All kidding aside, I'm pretty sure what happened here is that the line of questioning wasn't quite what he'd convinced himself it would be.

Why YES, we are going to judge you by your statements! Muslims do it ALL THE TIME to others, so it is high time it be DONE TO YOU.
