Dr. Zahid Mukhtar, spokesperson for Islamic Council in Norway, stated that he sympathize with the reason why the Dutch film director Theo van Gogh wasmurdered.

Mukhtar made the statement at the Norwegian debate program Holmgang Wednesday. Program leader Oddvar Stenstrøm asked if he understood that some Muslims could become so provoked that they killed, answered Mukhtar, «I understand that, even if there is no statutory authorization to do so.»

Jens Stoltenberg, leader of the Labor Party, demands that Mukhtar retracts his statements.

«I want to ask Muslim leaders in Norway in the most urgent manner to clearly and unmistakable condemn such violent acts as the murder of van Gogh,» Stoltenberg said to the Norwegian daily Aftenposten.

Stoltenberg stressed that Mukhtar’s statements to a large degree injures Muslims in Norway and the work for increasing tolerance.

Erna Solberg, minister of local government, did not participate in the program, but stated to Aftenposten that it is important to stress that no one in Norway must show understanding for the murder of people like van Gogh.

«It is one thing to understand what has happened. It is something entirely different to have understanding for the action,» Solberg said.

«Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Have mercy,» the 47-year-old film director Theo van Gogh reportedly called out before he was shot eight or nine times on an open street in Amsterdam.

van Gogh had received death threats before because he through his work criticized and made fun of Islam.

"Muslims could become so provoked that they killed, answered Mukhtar."

Sounds like someone who sympathizes with Adolf Eichmann when he was tried in Israel.

A statement like this could only come from someone with a mental disease, and from a social order that is apparently infected with that disease.

Looks like Jens just disqualified himself from buying more life insurance.

Yes, in a manner, they are insane. These Islamofacists consider it justifiable to kill anyone who is not Muslim. They won't say that....but it's how they believe.

Play nice people, remember Dr. Zahid Mukhtar is a spokesperson for Islamic Council in Norway. He represents them and only sympathized with the killer and is not the killer himself. Lets not offend moderate Muslims like Dr Mukhtar here or they will all turn against us.

"Oh, Dr. Mukhtar (may I call you "Mookie")...you probably just signed your own death certificate."

I thought democrats were developmentally challenged, but Muslims take the cake.

Is there any group that has less of a clue?

"Just keep on digging that hole..."

I have read and re read this statement and can only figure that this appeaser wants the problem to just go away!

Just by this statement you know she's doing the PC talk. She best remember appeasement didn't work in WWII.

I strongly recommend that as many FR visitors as possible go read what Ali Sina has to say on http://www.faithfreedom.org

Ali is a recovering Muslim. He understands it totally, and advises that this blood-and-death cult that has SAVAGED millions on this planet for 1,500 years must be utterly eradicated. It can not be appeased. It has to be more than merely defeated militarily. It has to cease to exist. Ali's articles on the subject of Islam are the most profound that I've ever read.

"It takes one to know one," and Ali Sina KNOWS Islam inside and out. Visit his website and you'll understand.

Appeasement?

I think East vs. West is inevitable.

Add Norway to Nederland and Denmark, which are having troubles with their muslims.

Each is small in population, and very prosperous.

All three lived under the lash of Hitler's occupation, and know what forces drew WWII to successful close.

Nederland and Denmark are supporting the Iraq adventure.

I doubt any of them wish to get singled out by the islamic forces, for special terror targeting.

I imagine they all regret the day they let their first muslim immigrant in.

Jonah Goldberg at NRO had a link to a pithy, frightening article by a columnist at Asia Times Online. Basically, he argues that it took more than a millenium for Judaism and Christianity to separate themselves from the government, in effect going from theocracies to private faith traditions followed by individuals, but not endorsed by government. The path was bloody - with both religions killing heretics. His argument is that the respective societies were so fragile and at-risk that enforcing uniform religious belief was all that held the societies together.

If we posit that Islam is at that juncture in its evolution--needing to be a theocracy in order for the societies to survive, then Islam cannot be Islam without killing heretics. Really scary premise - since that means we are now in the throes of dragging them kicking and screaming (and murdering) into an entirely different mindset.

And d***it, I can't remember how to post a link.
