*Sigh*... Alright, first a little backstory.
Mullah Krekar is a curious fellow that's been something of a sticking point in Norwegian politics and culture for ages.
An Islamic scholar and militant, he came to Norway as a refugee from Iraqi-controlled Kurdistan in 1991. He has a wife and children here in Norway, who are all Norwegian citizens. Krekar himself does not have citizenship status.
The reason he's been something of a sticking point because he's been accused of orchestrating terrorist attacks carried out by the militant group he led (which he claims to not have had any part in carrying out), while he had refugee status in Norway (which would of course violate his protections there), and they can't just kick him out easily because he's got Norwegian family and kids, so taking him away from them would be some pretty bad publicity if they didn't have a rock-solid reason.
So he's basically just been here, griping about Norwegians and Norway and the blasphemers and infidels and how awful everything is here and how his oppressed muslim brethren (who actually *are* discriminated against here because people get it into their heads that every muslim is a dickwad like Krekar) should rise up and set things right, while maintaining tentative refugee status and basically being in perpetual legal limbo while in and out of court battles on just what he is and where he should be.
Now, after decades of this fight, there's
suddenly been a change. Somehow. People were informed of this change when the gov announced that he was
no longer in Norway. They'd already denied his appeal to stay, and have extradited him.
To Italy.
So... Okay. The dude's a douchenozzle. But he's also been a gigantic strawman for the alt-right in this country because he's "everything wrong with Islam" and therefore an easy target for political attacks about evil brown people and how the
leftist government funds terrorists by giving this guy money and a place to stay while he's technically still a refugee. The usual.
Extradition to Italy has been a topic for
years. Even if there actually was some legal upheaval just recently that made that extradition possible and defensible,
it's pretty fucking poor timing to send a 62-year-old diabetic into the middle of a covid catastrophe. His lawyer (of the past
14 years!) is outraged that this happened, is claiming that they booted him out of the country without even letting him talk to his family first, and has sworn that he'll bring hell and high water to the courts for this "judicial murder".
And as if that wasn't entertainment enough? A few of the
particularly hilarious members of Norway's hard conservative pockets in government decided to
celebrate finally shipping him out of the country. With a cake.
The cake shows an Italian and a Norwegian flag, and text that translates to "Good travels/So long, Krekar!"
Oh, the lovely lass cutting out a piece in that photo? That's Sylvi Listhaug, a
hysterically awful and utterly disconnected-from-reality human being. Some of her highlights include spending 20 minutes bobbing around in an inflatable survival/rescue suit and then immediately stating she "Now had a much deeper understanding of the trials faced by Syrian refugees taking the water crossing", and sharing an alt-right Facebook meme from her official profile about how the Labor party would rather fund terrorists than protect Norwegians.
On the anniversary of Norway's largest terrorist attack.
Which was carried out on the Labor party youth.
By an alt-right Norwegian.
