Mullah Krekar, born Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, is an Iraqi Kurd and founder of the radical Islamist group Ansar al-Islam. Norway's Supreme Court upheld a ruling to expel him last November, saying he posed a security risk to the country.
But he cannot in practice be deported because Norway does not send anyone to a country where they could risk facing the death penalty.
Krekar is now taking his case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and says he has been forced into internal exile in Norway.
We shall see if European law is a suicide pact.
If Europe ever reverts to its autocratic past, it will be because under democracy as Europe practices it, Europe won't defend itself and European commoners will feel the brunt of the Islamist tide.
At some point, enough Europeans who wish to defend themselves will wreck democracy in favor of a system of government that will fight to preserve Europe from thugs who use our legal system to fight us. Europe is fully capable of rousing itself to brutality.
UPDATE: It wouldn't be so bad if the Europeans were just apathetic about defending themselves:
The U.K. has not only put out the welcome mat for jihadists of other nations. It gives them uncontested space to radicalize other disgruntled Muslims. It swaddles them in the majesty of British civil rights (that would be the liberties forged by the people they are sworn to vanquish). It runs interference for them against the nations on which they prey. It denies Islam could possibly have anything to do with Islamic terrorism. And when all else fails, being a paragon of the post-sovereign order, it punts to the “international community,” whose tribunals — under the laughable banner of “human rights” — are even more indulgent of those pledged to kill as many humans as possible.
In Abu Hamza’s case, the U.S. has been trying to navigate the labyrinth of British extradition for four years. But the Brits — even as they demanded the return from Guantanamo Bay of non-British enemy combatants who had previously resided in the U.K. — have declined to send him here for trial.
Think that’s a product of fear that he’ll be consigned to Cowboy Bush’s Gitmo torture chamber? Guess again. We are still waiting, a decade later, for England to extradite a number of al-Qaeda operatives who, in 1998, bombed the U.S. embassies in Africa.
I'm afraid it may be a murder-suicide pact and I want America to have nothing to do with this mental disorder.
