Norwegian national Mikael Davud, a member of China’s Uighur minority and considered the mastermind behind the plot against the Jyllands-Posten daily, was sentenced to seven years behind bars.
Shawan Sadek Saeed Bujak, an Iraqi Kurd residing in Norway, received a three-and-a-half-year prison term.
The two men were found guilty of planning to blow up the offices of the Danish newspaper that in September 2005 published 12 caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The judges said the prosecution had proved “beyond any doubt that Davud knowingly and voluntarily plotted with al Qaeda to carry out a bomb attack against Jyllands-Posten with a bomb that was so powerful that he understood human life could be lost.”

No They SHED blood to get OIL. Example IRAQ.
Everything Whiteman do has Moral Grounds else is Extremism or terrorism
@Cautious:
what about those who come to middle east for corporate greed for oil, should they be deported as well.
They should start to deport people who come to the West and use their religious extremism to harm others.
