Mullah Krekar Gets Prison - Updated



Mullah Krekar

(Oslo, Norway) Islamist founder of Ansar al-Islam, Mullah Krekar, has been sentenced to five years in prison in Norway for issuing death threats.

An Oslo district court found the 55-year-old guilty on Monday of threatening the life of Erna Solberg, a former government minister who signed an order expelling Krekar in 2003 because he was considered a threat to national security, the Agence France Presse reported.

Krekar, who came to Norway as a refugee from Iraq with his family in 1991, and whose real name is Najmeddine Faraj Ahmad, was also found guilty of threatening three other Kurds living in Norway who had burned pages of the Qu’ran or insulted it in other ways.

An appeal is being prepared. (Tip: Barry B)

Islamist Wants New Attacks in US
[Previous 12/11/11 post]
(Oslo, Norway)

Norway’s Progress Party has called for the immediate arrest of Mullah Krekar after the firebrand jihadist spoke of the need for renewed terrorist attacks on the United States.

The Norway-based extremist made the comments in an interview with Finland’s MTV3. He also claimed that Islam “will control the entire world” within the next 20 years.

More than a decade on from the devastating terrorist attacks in the United States that left almost 3,000 people dead, Krekar said:

“They have learned nothing from the 9/11 attacks. That’s why they need two more attacks. It’s the only way the Americans will understand that we [Muslims] are people and not animals or slaves.”

Besides advocating hatred and violence, Mullah Krekar's argument is flawed. Americans don't treat Muslims like animals or slaves, it's Muslims who most often treat their fellow Muslims like animals or slaves.
