Store bededag aflyst Danske politiker 😠👎

Hvorfor har vi overhovedet demokrati i Danmark, når de danske politiker ikke lytter til det folk, som har stemt dem ind og i stedet vælger at køre et diktatur?

Jeg siger, vi udskifter hele flokken! Måske på den måde, kan vi få orden i det danske samfund igen…

"Prohibit such acts without compromising freedom of expression"

You see, that's the funny thing. You can't do that.

Helsinki — Denmark's foreign minister said Sunday the government will seek to make it illegal to desecrate the Quran or other religious holy books in front of foreign embassies in the Nordic country.

Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in an interview with the Danish public broadcaster DR that the burning of holy scriptures "only serves the purpose of creating division in a world that actually needs unity."

"That is why we have decided in the government that we will look at how, in very special situations, we can put an end to mockery of other countries, which is in direct conflict with Danish interests and the safety of the Danes," he said.

A recent string of public Quran desecrations by a handful of anti-Islam activists in Denmark and neighboring Sweden have sparked angry demonstrations in Muslim countries.

Lokke Rasmussen said the Cabinet of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is determined to find "a legal tool" to prohibit such acts without compromising freedom of expression, but he acknowledged that would not be easy.

"There must be room for religious criticism, and we have no thoughts of reintroducing a blasphemy clause," he told DR. "But when you stand up in front of a foreign embassy and burn a Quran or burn the Torah scroll in front of the Israeli embassy, it serves no other purpose than to mock."

His comments followed a statement issued late Sunday by the Danish government saying freedom of expression is one of the most important values in Danish society.

But, it added, the desecration of the Muslim holy book in Denmark has resulted in the nation being viewed in many places around the world "as a country that facilitates insult and denigration of the cultures, religions, and traditions of other countries."

The government repeated its condemnation of such desecrations, say they are "deeply offensive and reckless acts committed by few individuals" and "do not represent the values the Danish society is built on."

In Sweden, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Sunday on Instagram that his government is analyzing the legal situation regarding desecration of the Quran and other holy books, given the animosity such acts are stirring up against Sweden.

"We are in the most serious security policy situation since the Second World War," Kristersson said.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has called an emergency remote meeting Monday to discuss the Quran burnings in Sweden and Denmark.

Published: Aug 9, 2023

In 2005 a Danish newspaper published a number of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammed, which led to a global battle of values over the relationship between freedom of expression and religion. Despite multiple terrorist attacks—one of them deadly others thwarted—and concerted diplomatic pressure from the 57 Muslim-majority member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) led by countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, the Danish government held firm and refused demands to impose Islamic blasphemy norms.

However, recent events have shattered this resolve. Following months of of public Quran burnings in Denmark and Sweden, as well as renewed and increased pressure from the OIC and attacks on the Swedish embassy in Iraq and a Danish non-governmental organization in Basra last month, Scandinavian democracies are retreating from their liberal principles.

On July 30, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen announced that the government will seek to enact legislation for "special situations where other countries, cultures, and religions could be insulted, potentially resulting in significant negative consequences for Denmark." Sweden is mulling over similar actions. These capitulations have forced these countries to debate how far they are willing to go to defend their freedoms in the face of violence and international backlash.

On the one hand, there are good reasons to be critical of book burnings. It is a poor substitute for reasoned debate and one that will forever be associated with totalitarian states, such as Nazi Germany, in our collective history. But however noxious the ideas of the far-right protestors who torch Qurans, they are not state agents, they are not speaking for the government, nor do they have the power to censor or discriminate. They are private individuals whose non-violent symbolic expressions are intended to convey a message, which however, offensive to those who disprove, is part and parcel of free expression.

The violence that accompanies these events stems both from terrorist groups as well as from counter protestors who insist that religious taboos can only be enforced through mob intimidation and violence, but they are mistaken.

In July, an Iranian citizen burned the Danish and Swedish flags as well as the Bible and Torah in front of the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen, praising Ayatollah Khomeini in the process. But few Danes cared about this deliberate attempt to provoke. No one threatened to use violence, and the protester was not arrested. Rather than demonstrating Danish hypocrisy, the protester managed to show how a secular society committed to both free speech and tolerance can handle offensive ideas, and also how these values serve as the antithesis to violence.

Despite these and other demonstrable merits of free speech, the recent steps taken by Denmark and Sweden reveal a concerning trend. Bowing to intimidation from politically authoritarian and religiously oppressive states sets a perilous precedent and gives oppressive regimes potential leverage to further undermine democratic principles. To sweeten this bitter pill the Danish government has been less than factual in its messaging. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that burning “sacred books” does not constitute an expression, despite established case law to the contrary. The government has also said that Denmark and Sweden are global outliers when it comes to permitting the desecration of “sacred books” even though both Norway and the Netherlands protect such symbolic expression. There are already also strong reasons to believe that the OIC will not be appeased by the proposed Danish legal restrictions, however rationalized.

The next day after the Danish government´s promise to explore legal remedies against Quran burnings, the OIC released a strongly worded statement admonishing Denmark and Sweden for failing to immediately criminalize them and pledging to continue to pursue the matter. The Turkish ambassador to Denmark also warned that the proposed Danish efforts were "insufficient." In other words, once democracies yield from principle, authoritarian states will not respond with gratitude and conciliatory attitudes but demand that the self-imposed restrictions on free speech be expanded more broadly. This is not only true in Scandinavia but also on the global stage.

Earlier this month, the OIC managed to secure a crucial win at the U.N.´s Human Rights Council with a resolution that calls on member states to, among other things, “address, prevent and prosecute acts and advocacy of religious hatred” as a direct response to the Scandinavian Quran burnings. The OIC argues that defamation of religious ideas and symbols constitutes incitement to religious hatred—a category of speech prohibited under international human rights law and in most European democracies. This would not just legitimize but also give legal teeth to the suppression of religious dissent, and would remove the stigma from countries where blasphemy and apostasy is severely punished.

This marks a radical departure from back in 2011, when the Obama Administration rallied democracies around the world and spearheaded a pivotal Human Rights Council Resolution to halt the OIC´s long-standing efforts to internationalize blasphemy laws. The 2011 resolution advocated education and counter-speech against religious intolerance, asserting the protection of people, not ideologies, under human rights law. It called for the penalization of "incitement to imminent violence based on religion or belief," underlining that free speech restrictions should shield individuals from tangible harm, not defend abstract religious ideas from criticism or mockery, however offensive. As then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the resolution was a step to overcome “the false divide that pits religious sensitivities against freedom of expression.”

While this broader, international perspective is critical, it is also important to consider the domestic implications of the laws Denmark and Sweden have on the table. The Danish government´s proposed legal remedy against insulting other countries doesn’t only threaten to restrict criticism of Islam. In fact, Danish Muslims protesting U.S. or Israeli foreign policy, or the mass internment of Uighur Muslims by China, could end up on the wrong side of the law, if they protest in ways deemed “insulting” to the U.S., Israel, or China and detrimental to the broad and nebulous concept of “Danish interests.”

Moreover, the Danish and Swedish governments’ misguided attempt to foster tolerance through censorship could inadvertently exacerbate social divisions within their own borders. Hard-nosed critics of Islam and Muslim immigration frequently argue that Islam is incompatible with democracy and freedom, painting Muslims as a fifth column. The external pressure from Islamic states, coupled with support for restrictive measures among some Danish Muslims, risks emboldening these divisive narratives. This stands to harm the many Scandinavian Muslims who appreciate the freedoms and equality that Denmark and Sweden offer, and which sets these countries apart from the Muslim-majority states of the OIC.

Free speech is a difficult principle to uphold consistently. Governments and citizens of democracies alike are frequently tempted to sacrifice this principle when faced with threats or adverse consequences of unpopular or extremist speech. But one only has to compare the vibrant democracies of Denmark and Sweden to the authoritarian regimes of Iran and Saudi Arabia to realize that, for all its flaws, free speech makes the world more tolerant, democratic, equal, and free. Denmark and Sweden’s defection from this core liberal principle is a dark day for the global fight for free speech.

2022 - a year lived with hunger and fear of the future

2022 was not a good year. It was a terrible year. It seems so long ago where we were in lockdown. The pandemic seemed to be over. Plans could be made for the future.

But then the war came. Prices on food and everything else exploded. Plans for the future seemed impossible. So now we are in some kind of semi-lockdown. We can not live our lives because everything is centered about getting food cheap enough so everyone in the family can eat.

For almost 4 years we have endured the supreme leader Mette Frederiksen who have headed the country without any meaningful opposition. Venstre which were the biggest party against her got caught in an internal war where the man who could have made Denmark a better place - Kristian Jensen - was pushed out of politics because the old leader Lars Løkke Rasmussen felt that he was not ready to leave after having stabbed the parties he worked together with for many years in the back, which cost everyone among these parties a lot of votes.

So he left in exchange but not before he made Kristian Jensen leave also, which left a young Jacob Elleman in charge. Venstre was a big party back then consisting of two blocks of voters. The people from the cities and the people from the countryside.

Jacob Elleman - a city person like Lars Løkke - wanted the countryside fraction to have less influence so he use some legal manuovers aided by the rest of the parliament who could see that the leader of the countryside fraction Inger Støjberg could be the a good card for Venstre which would attract many voters to make her go from the parliament because she illegal had tried to save juvenile girls from marriage to older men. But both Lars-Løkke Rasmussen and Inger Støjberg then left and made their own parties.

So the parliament election came. After many weeks they now formed a new government consisting of the leftovers in Venstre, Lars-Løkke Rasmussens new party and Mette Frederiksen.

Now they will cancel our national holidays and make it almost impossible for children from poor families to enter universities. I know that we will never get the life we had pre-pandemic but 2022 has shown me that I have no future. There is no reason to go for owning anything. A big fast car would properly be confiscated because new laws targeting us from Jutland forces us to drive slower then they properly did in the 1960's. We still have people from the Eastern part of Europe entering Denmark working illegal for nothing and conducting home invasions when they have no work.

2023 will me be the year where I will use the old Danish Law of Jante and see if I can find someone with success and hunt them. If I have to be hungry all the time and never have holidays, I for sure will look all over the rest of the planet and see if I can contribute to others feeling worse then we do in Denmark which have turned out to be the one country in the world where the population suffers the most.

That is my target for 2023. What is yours?

[passionat3]

in general, I agree, especially in the workplace. Don't do this to your colleagues!!

but it's so fucking funny in the context of danish politics. Those who warrant enough respect for last name only are pretty much long dead, plus surnames are so not unique.

Mette Frederiksen is Mette not just because there are fewer Mettes than Frederiksens but also because most people hate her. Same for Lars Løkke (Rasmussen). Troels Lund Poulsen and Jacob Ellemann Jensen are both full names. Magnus Heunicke is special because he has an uncommon surname, but people still use his full name.

Inger Støjberg is usually full name but sometimes just given name, Pia Olsen Dyhr is sometimes surname usually full name, Morten Messerschmidt is ... Usually full name, sometimes surname? Same for Mai Villadsen and Alex Vanopslagh.

but yeah, moral of the story, its always just Mette and Lars Løkke

If you routinely refer to every politician by their last name except for the women who you’re always apparently on a first name basis with, maybe spare a moment to ponder that habit.

Zur Unterstützung der Autonomie unter marokkanischer Souveränität „betrachtet Dänemark den vonseiten des Königreichs Marokko in 2007 unterbreiteten Autonomieplan als einen ernsthaften und glaubwürdigen Beitrag und als eine gute Basis für eine Beilegung“

Vereinte Nationen (New York)–Der Minister für auswärtige Angelegenheiten, für afrikanische Zusammenarbeit und für die im Ausland lebenden Marokkaner, Herr Nasser BOURITA, begegnete  am Mittwoch, dem 25. September 2024 in New York, dem dänischen Außenminister, Herrn Lars Løkke RASMUSSEN, am Rande der 79. Tagung der Generalversammlung der Vereinten Nationen.

In der im Anschluss an diese Begegnung verabschiedeten Erklärung auf gemeinsamem Wege hieß es: „Dänemark betrachtet den vonseiten  des Königreichs Marokko in 2007 unterbreiteten Autonomieplan als einen ernsthaften und glaubwürdigen Beitrag zum sich im Laufe befindlichen Prozess der Vereinten Nationen auf politischem Wege und als eine gute Basis für eine Lösung auf vereinbartem Wege zwischen den beiden Parteien“.

In diesem gemeinsamen Kommuniqué bekundeten die beiden Minister ihre Unterstützung zu Gunsten von dem Prozess auf politischem Wege unter der Ägide der Vereinten Nationen und unter der Ägide des persönlichen Gesandten des UNO-Generalsekretärs für die Sahara, Herrn Staffan de Mistura, sowie zu Gunsten von dessen Bemühungen um eine für beide Parteien annehmbare Lösung auf friedenstiftendem Wege dieses Regionalkonflikts in Übereinstimmung mit den einschlägigen Resolutionen des Sicherheitsrates der Vereinten Nationen.

Diese neue Position Dänemarks ist Teil der internationalen Dynamik, die vonseiten seiner Majestät des Königs Mohammed VI zur Unterstützung des Autonomieplans und zur Unterstützung der Souveränität des Königreichs Marokko über dessen Sahara vorangetrieben wird. Sie bestätigt einen grundlegenden Trend in Europa und in allen Regionen des europäischen Kontinents.

Egypt says it will not stop until a Gaza ceasefire is reached

Egyptian and Danish officials met in Cairo on Monday as part of the diplomatic efforts to prevent further violence and escalation in the Middle East. Egypt stressed the need for a truce in Gaza, including an exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees. Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdelaty, said Cairo will continue to make every possible effort to achieve an end to the fighting. "We will not stop, and we will not give up until there is a ceasefire and an end to the aggression against our people in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem.” Denmark’s Foreign Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, praised Egypt for its ongoing efforts to mediate and secure a ceasefire, which is essential to preventing further escalation. He will visit the Rafah crossing on Tuesday and expressed his concern about the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave. The two also discussed a longer-term solution to the situation in the Palestinian territories. "There can be no solution in the region without ending the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, with a priority on establishing a state," said Abdelaty. Rasmussen said the two-state solution “remains the viable solution to the problem between Israel and Palestine, and this is important as we seek a solution as quickly as possible".
