The prize winning Danish poet Henrik Nordbrandt stands out as one of the few, who dares to use certain subjects, practically banned elsewhere by political correctnes.

In this fine poem “All the great men”, published by Gyldendal in 2007 (Buy the book here) humbly brought to an English audience by Danish Affairs, Nordbrandt satirizes on Jesus and Mohammed.

All the great men

All the great men

All the great men

All the great men begins with an A:

Adam, Abraham, Archimedes, Aristophanes
Alexander, Androchles, Adolf
Woody Allen and Anders

Fogh Rasmussen.

Those, who don´t
are either exceptions
that prove the rule

or crooks.

Jesus is a good example
on the first

Mohammed on the second:

In the kingdom of camels
any two-legged could
claim to be a prophet

What was Karl the twelfth
other than a drunk Swede?

And Marx?
A new era
does not begin with an M.

Thus hereby
it has once again been proved

that God planned it all
systematically
from the beginning.

    Dirty Dinshoo is a new insult against the Danish people.

    Danish prostitutes are called, Dinshoo prostitutes.

    Danish pimps are called, Dinshoo pimps.

    Danish brothels are called, Dinshoo brothels.

    Dirty Dinshoo women are all sex fanatics and they love having sex with the pigs. There are 20,000 pig farms in Nazi Denmark and most Dirty Dinshoo women go there to have sex with the pigs.

    Would anyone name their son Adolf,-if they wanted him to be the greatest,-a leader ,-is it possible to make a mistake by just a name;-might it had been so, that God by force,- did put an A between the other children whom we named, as to make World’s people to wake up,- and begin to think of,- that we are all in the same boat?
    If any parents hereafter has the courage to call their son Adolf,- it is because that the World’s people got rid of hate to their sisters and brothers.
    About Jesus,- I think he did his best to tell all people in World,- that they are very alone without anything to thrust in;- if there is only one self to be;- whom other would be if needed?

    If Geert Wilders falls, then Freedom of speech is dead in Europe. We are launching an extensive International Action SITA including two possible texts ; one comparing Wilders and Winston Churchill and another Wilders and Charlie Chaplin:
