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.

It is much worse than you or I can imagine.
Unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam is a fire of seething hatred at its core...
Now, place in the middle of that roiling pot the most dangerous thing you can think of...something that didn't exist in the prior 2,000 years...nuclear weapons.
I suggest that this problem will not be solved by dragging Muslims into the modern world.
And I know a good deal about Islam and like most of us, I am learning more every day
I see you just signed up...tomorrow? (how is that possible)...are you on the other side of the dateline.
Everything we need to know about Islam, we learned on 9/11. How much do YOU know, troll?
I smell ozone....watch out for lightning!
I am hiding under my desk...
Cheese and crackers...they're everywhere...run for your lives...
Reality Check here, he who supports the killing is just as guilty as the killers. Where do you think the killer's get their ideas.
They are repetitive?
I'm getting there ...
Did you know my sister got bitten by a moose?
Oh, darn, there I go giving those killers ideas again.
Hey, I came upon a moose in rutting season...and, I swear, he winked at me. And I'm a guy and I'm not even Muslim.
You forgot the rest: "Go and sin no more." And how would killing a child for breaking Ramadan fast be not-sinning? How is systematically denying every human right to women not sinning? How is stoning a 13 year old girl not sinning? How is sexually mutilating girls not sinning? You'll have to explain this to me because I am obviously to obtuse to see the righteousness in these deluded individuals.
Careful - there was a 67 year old gentleman up in northern Indiana who got attacked by a deer. Took him 10 minutes to get away. These hooved, antlered herbivores can be quite vicious when you catch them on a bad day.
Slowly the worm turns...The Netherlands, Germany, Norway.... next to wake up?
