Mullah Krekar in the Oslo court Wednesday
Krekar has previously explained(...) how former minister Erna Solberg would have to pay the price if his expulsion would be executed, indicating that even his family/clan would make sure she paid.
- These are not death threats, only information
Will the judge be capable of seeing through the taqiyya here?
The mullah is being defended by lawyer and Salvation Army son, Brynjar Meling.
Back in 2004 a dying man in Bergen, decided to withdraw from his testament a substantial sum of money meant for the Salvation Army, as he had become aware of Meling's position as Krekar's lawyer.
