A record number of foreign citizens are being deported from Norway, after the country’s police stepped up the use of deportation as a way of fighting crime. Some 5,198 foreign citizens were expelled from the country in 2013, an increase of 31 percent since 2012, when 3,958 people were deported.
“It is the highest number we’ve had ever,” Frode Forfang, head of the Directorate of Immigration (UDI), told NRK. “We believe that one reason for the increase is that the police have become more conscious of using deportation as a tool to fight crime.”

Reason: inappropriate
Nothing in the article shows that crims (crime) dropped dramatically or even at all.
From other articles it appears most of the deportations were failed asylum applications (mainly from Eritrea) and Norway is toughening up it's asylum rules. The rest were convicted of street crimes or of violating the Immigration Act.
Yes, we could. As a matter of fact we are deporting criminals. The Norwegians did not profile anyone, the people the deported had already been arrested for crimes. They deported some 5000 criminals, and a good portion happened to be muslims. They were not deported for being muslim, or for being immigrants (legal or illegal), but for committing crimes.
