Lisbon Treaty gets the rubber stamp

Yesterday the Danish parliament approved the Lisbon Treaty without much media attention or debate, with 90 votes in favour and 25 against. The approval was based on the conclusion of the Ministry of Justice, that the treaty did not force prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen´s government to hold a referendum which could have raised debate over the – from a national sovereignty perspective – controversial treaty.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen was not even present yesterday at the final debate before the ratification election, despite the fact that he actually was in the parliament building Christiansborg on that day. Boersen and Politiken [in Danish]

That´s how business-as-usual rubber stamp politics is carried out in the small province of Denmark.

It was Silvio Berlusconi who called Anders Fogh Rasmussen “the most handsome prime minister in Europe”.

In a political sense the approval of the Lisbon Treaty makes the potential president of the European Council almost beautiful.

The European Voice obviously thinks that Anders Fogh Rasmussen deserves a reward for saving the treaty from the threats of public debate, EU-scepticists, referendums and the extremisms of the nation state´s liberal democracy in general:

Denmark’s handsome prince of Europe?

Those who object to former UK prime minister Tony Blair as a potential first president of the European Council often argue that someone from a country which is not in the eurozone or the Schengen area of border-free travel could not be credible at the head of Europe. At first sight, insisting on these criteria would also seem to exclude Anders Fogh Rasmussen (pictured), the prime minister of Denmark – which is not only outside the eurozone, but also has opt-outs on defence policy, European citizenship and justice and home affairs. But this year could change that perception.

Fogh Rasmussen may be on the brink of removing as many as three of these opt-outs. He has hinted that a referendum on the opt-puts could be held this autumn, once the Lisbon treaty is ratified by the national parliament, the Folketing. If he manages this feat, the Danish prime minister would significantly boost his chances of becoming Council president.

Update:

For a brief summary of the current danish political situation read the analysis at Gates Of Vienna by Zonka.

Dane nominated Arab prize for apologizing

ABU DHABI. 27-year old Danish filmmaker Anders Boetter describes himself as an atheist. Despite his openly declared religious disbelief he travels to Abu Dhabi tomorrow – on a trip financed by Arab petro-dollars to receive a nomination for an Islamic culture prize.

The danish atheist´s achievement consists of creating the danish Facebook group ‘Undskyld Muhammed’ (‘Sorry Mohammad’) which attracted 8.600 members – and attention from some Middle East cultural committee. The “Sorry Mohammad” group expresses sympathy towards the Islamic reactions to the Danish Mohammad drawings.

Assassination plans has been discovered against one of the drawers, Kurt Westergaard. And other cartoonists have also received death threats.

Ironic it may seem that an enlightened human being is being nominated for an Islamic culture prize. Even more ironic it is that Anders Boetter isn´t aware of the fact that he is just another useful idiot being manipulated and used by enemies of the Western world.

By the way – the antagonistic Facebook group ‘Ingen undskyldninger, til Muhammed’ (‘No apologizing to Mohammad’) has got 11.000 members.

Swedes leaving a sinking ship?

A population exchange is currently going on in Sweden. The numbers are now comparable to the massive transatlantic emigration of the late 19th century. Kurt Lundgren has done some statistical research [in Swedish].

During 2007 45.418 swedish citizens emigrated. In 1881the number was 45.992.

The original Swedish population is replaced with under-educated groups with high reproduction rates from developing Islamic countries.

What the swedes are leaving is a formerly prosperous and safe welfare state, but no longer the same comfortable place to live. Sweden has not got the rising crime under control. The Swedish state authorities seems unable to protect its own citizens. Especially rape, homicide and violent offencences are rapidly growing.

Increased Terror Threat Against Denmark

COPENHAGEN. The Danes seem to get used to terror threats as a part of everyday life. There are no visible indications here in Copenhagen, that anybody changes their daily routines because of fear of terror attacks from imbecile religious fanatics.

The recent reprint of the Danish Mohammad drawings is said to be the Islamic idiots´motivation.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark: The Danish intelligence service warned Thursday of an “aggravated” terror threat against Denmark since the reprinting in February of a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service, or PET, said it has seen signs of an elevated threat from militant extremists, especially in North Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Thursday’s assessment comes after the agency last month said the reprinting of a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad in Danish newspapers had brought “negative attention” to Denmark in Muslim countries. Herald Tribune

The List of Things That Offend Muslims

The Amboy Times has got the idea to list whatever offend Muslims. It definitely is a work in progress.

Israeli Artist Duo doing favors for Arabs in Copenhagen

The Israeli gay artist duo Gil & Moti will during the next two months – as a part of the art project ‘Available for You’ – do favors for Arabs in Copenhagen – such as babysitting, cooking and gardening.

Gil and Moti are the only couple ever to be officially married on the Queen’s Balcony, Rotterdam. Only three times in a hundred years has this sacred venue ever been used.

Gil & Moti have lived their love in public for six years at the Gil & Moti Homegallery in Rotterdam. They have recreated their fable of love in venues throughout Europe.

In 2003, Gil & Moti decided to fall in love with an Arab. They staged their life-performance “Dating Gil & Moti” at the Haifa Museum. —To consternation and applause. Jackthepelican

Hopefully the artists have taken proper security precautions before meeting the neither exactly art-loving nor Israel-sympathetic or gay- appreciative Arab crowd.

Young gang torments nursery school

COPENHAGEN. Danish institutions targeted by Muslim kids aged 10-12 now include nursery schools.

From The Copenhagen Post via New English Review:

A group of ethnic minority kids has been terrorising a nursery school in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, throwing rocks at teachers, parents and even the young children at the facility.
Day care facility Midgård lies next to council estate Mjølnerparken, from which five or six 10 to 12-year-old boys have been making life for the nursery school’s personnel and patrons a living hell for the past two weeks.

Although harassment from estate kids to a lesser degree has been tolerated by the facility’s staff and administration for some time, the incidents over the past couple weeks have now crossed the line, said Annette Zahle, Midgård’s administrative director. ‘We’re used to a lot but this is simply too egregious,’ Zahle told Nyhedsavisen newspaper. ‘We’re naturally deeply concerned, especially because these kids probably don’t realise their actions can have serious consequences if one of our children were hit in the head.’

A mother was recently struck in the leg by a projectile thrown by the young troublemakers, who also attempted to enter the building last week, threatening the staff with crowbars.
On Tuesday, a child at the nursery school was nearly struck by a large rock thrown by one of the youths.
‘The day care workers have started telling me they’re afraid to send the children out to the playground, which is a very disturbing development,’ said Zahle.

To understand the context of ‘ethnic minority kids’ assaulting a nursery school – it is worth to make a few things clear.

This is not “ordinary crime” here in Copenhagen. To assault a mother and her kid is totally pointless and cannot by any standard be characterized as a ‘normal’ destructive behaviour of bored teenagers or preteens. Things like these did not happen in Scandinavia just 10-15 years ago.

Nearly all street robberies are carried out by people with Islamic backgrounds. A recent example: The city of Elsinore with just 60.000 citizens has seen 19 street robberies carried out by underage kids – during only the first three months of 2008. BT [In Danish].

Today we are just facing the first consequences of Danish legislators´irresponsible multicultural policy during the last 30 years. And the general negative sentiments towards Islam and Arab culture among Europeans can hardly be understood isolated from the fact, that Islamic authorities and ‘activists’ in Europe are not only threatening our freedom of speech. Their kids are also doing their best to piss off a lot of ordinary citizens who are just doing their job and paying their tax bill.

What gives these youngsters a feeling of being untouchable is the fact, that they can´t be punished according to Danish legislation, since they are under 16 years old.

And the worst-case scenario if they are caught?

Ibn Warraq: Geert Wilders is a hero of our time

“Geert Wilders is a hero of our time”, Ibn Warraq in Spiegel Online. [in German]

“Man kann nur hoffen, dass Geert Wilders’ Film ein großes Echo im Westen findet. Dort hat die Mehrheit immer noch nicht erkannt, dass die Freiheit, die sie für selbstverständlich hält, ständig bewacht werden muss. Dass ihre unpolitische Sicht auf das Leben unverantwortlich ist und sie für Freiheiten kämpfen müssen, die Tag für Tag von denjenigen bedroht werden, die allen von uns eine totalitäre Ideologie aufdrängen wollen.”

Excerpt (roughly translated by Danish Affairs):

“We can only hope, that Geert Wilders´film will cause a large echo in the West. Where the majority still haven´t realized, that the freedom, they take for granted, always must be guarded. That their apolitical view of life is irresponsible, and that they must fight for freedoms, that are beeing threatened day after day, by those who want to pull upon us a totalitarian ideology.”

“Wilders sollte als mutiges Individuum gefeiert werden – ein Held unserer Zeit – der es wagte, gegen den Islamofaschismus aufzustehen.”

Excerpt (roughly translated by Danish Affairs):

“Wilders should be celebrated as a brave individual – a hero of our time – who dared to protest against the Islamofascism.”
