Mullah Krekar, the founder of an Islamist group Ansar al-Islam, has warned there will be “reactions” against Norway if it goes ahead with a court ruling to expel him, NRK television reported on Thursday. Three groups would “react” if he was deported, according to an NRK translation of comments the Iraqi Kurd made earlier this month to a website called Awane, which means “mirror” in Kurdish. The three groups were: his relatives, an unidentified armed organisation and people, possibly from Somalia or Morocco, who follow his religious teachings, according to the translated comments, which gave no details of what the reactions would entail. Norway’s Supreme Court on November 8 upheld previous court rulings and a 2003 decision by the Norwegian authorities to expel Krekar from the Scandinavian country, claiming he was a national security concern. Norwegian law however prevents Krekar, whose real name is Fateh Najmeddin Faraj, from being deported to his homeland until the situation in Iraq improves.
