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.

COPENHAGEN. The prominent Islam critic film maker and politician Geert Wilders is going to visit Denmark 1Th of June 2008 to hold a speech at the Danish Parliament building, Christiansborg. The event is hosted by Trykkefrihedsselskabet (The Danish Free Press Society).

AMSTERDAM. The Dutch Cartoonist working under the pseudonym Gregorius Neckshot was arrested 13th of May. This arrest is not just another example of ridiculous European dhimmitude towards the totalitarian ideology of Islam. This incident shows that post-war Europe is no longer a safe haven for freedom loving human beings dedicated to defending the open society against its enemies.

First they came for the bloggers and cartoonists. Who will be next?

The arrest is particularly remarkable because it follows a complaint dating from 2005. Three years later, there was suddenly reason to take Nekschot by surprise in his home, said Teeuwen with incomprehension.

Hirsch Ballin said Friday the arrest was only now carried out because Nekschot’s identity was not known to the OM before. According to Geenstijl.nl website, this is nonsense because internet providers must provide the details of operators of websites they host if the OM asks for this as part of a criminal investigation.

The OM did not bother to make such a request before, but Hirsch Ballin apparently now wants headlines such as ‘Cartoonist Arrested in The Netherlands’ to be send into the world to improve tense relations with Arab countries, Geenstijl suggested.

…

The arrest followed an investigation of the work of Nekschot, after a complaint was made against him in 2005 by Abdul Jabbar van de Ven. This Dutch convert to Islam calls himself an Imam. After the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh, he said on TV he would thank Allah if he could arrange for Geert Wilders to die, “for example of cancer”.

Jabbar van de Ven made the complaint to the National Discrimination Expertise Centre (LECD). This complaint was passed on to the OM. According to Geenstijl.nl, Paul Velleman, the prosecutor who gave the order for the cartoonist’s arrest, is also the head of the LECD.

When a kind word from a policeman isn´t enough – what about a kind word and a gun?

Ancient Troy was excavated by the famous german archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in the 1870s´ Ottoman empire. Troy is located in today´s Turkey.

Many Americans hardly understand, why Turkey isn´t embraced as a dear member of the European family. To most Europeans modern Turkey is a cheap tourist destination, a NATO ally but also a large scale exporter of under-educated Muslims to the European welfare states. Kemal Atatürks western styled secular republic has not inspired the emigrating masses to wholeheartedly join Europe´s core values and ethics.

Instead we are witnessing self-chosen segregation, spread of sharia law in communities, extensive welfare dependence, disproportional crime rates combined with higher reproduction rates than the European aboriginals. Turkey´s contribution to the european community until now is by all means negative.

And the demographic/islamic threat is nothing compared to the frightening political power, Turkey would be able to impose on European legislation if accepted as a member of EU.

This drawing illustrates the general opinion wery well.

Danish PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen is maybe not discrete enough to position himself as a coming EU President, according to The Economist.

A majority of the Danes thinks the Prime Minister is going for an international top job in either EU or NATO. But I don´t think The Economist has got a correct understanding of Danish politics, since the author believes that Danish voters would prioritize a prime ministers career or short term advantages higher than their national currency and sovereignty.

The man on the street really don´t care about who is on the throne in Brussels. And the “far right” (Danish People´s Party) has had an excellent cooperation with Anders Fogh Rasmussen since 2001. Why should they want him replaced? Only the parties on the far left (communists and socialists) has an interest in getting rid of a succesful right wing leader.

The Economist: When loose talk may cost a top job

Many pundits think he plans an autumn referendum, maybe as soon as September. The polls give him a chance. One from Greens Analyseinstitut in April had 55% of voters for joining the euro and only 38% against. Public opinion also favours scrapping the other opt-outs. Yet 16 years after their first rejection of the Maastricht treaty, there is a rump of opposition to the euro in Denmark, especially on the far left and far right. Oddly, this could work in the prime minister’s favour. Anti-Rasmussen voters may reason that a vote for the euro would enhance his candidacy for the EU job and hasten his departure. A case of yes euro, no prime minister?

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.

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.

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.
