Excerpt:
The prosecutor in the trail against Mulla Krekar (Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad) asked for five years imprisonment. Krekar is charged with threatening the head of the Conservative Party, Erna Solberg, and with threatening to kill three Kurds who posted a YouTube video of a Koran being burnt.
Krekar's laywer, Arvid Sjødin, said in his concluding statement that the Kurds deliberately provoked a reaction from Krekar by filming the Koran burning and posting it online.
"They knew perfectly well what reaction will occur. Therefore they put into motion a campaign to get Krekar to say what they knew he would say," said Sjødin. "In Western Norway we have a saying, if you sit on barbed wire, don't complain that it pricks. These people sat down on barbed wire."
