Why are the Danish authorities allowing this? Al-Muhajiroun is the now-banned British organization whose chief exponent, Omar Bakri, called openly and repeatedly for Islamic rule in Britain.
"Copenhagen: Al-Muhajiroun office opening," from Islam in Europe (thanks to Pamela):
Al-Muhajiroun, a supposedly a defunct organization which was banned in the UK, is now opening up a branch in Denmark.---
Al-Muhajiroun, an extreme radical Islamic movement that openly supports al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden will open an office in Copenhagen in the next few weeks.
"We have already been in Denmark for long, but in the coming three weeks we'll make that official," says Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammed, the movement's founder, who was also involved in starting Hizb-ut-Tahrir.
Al-Muhajiroun aims to overthrow Danish democracy and replace it with an Islamic state with Islamic laws.
"Hizb ut-Tahrir doesn't think like us on a revolution of society and on a political struggle against the Danish government. While they are more moderate, we are more orthodox," declares Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammed.
He says that the new movement currently has about 50 members and that 7-8 of them have defected from Hizb ut-Tahrir.
"We support la Qaeda's cause, but have no links or communication with them, and don't support them economically - they themselves have enough money," says Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammed.
Indeed they do.
It's time for more cartoons from the Danish press.
I would venture that as an act of national suicide, that first bullet to the head (immigration) was not enough.
Now this?
"Why are the Danish authorities allowing this?"
Because nobody here would ever dare make such a move. Any assertive gesture would be met with a howl of indignation from the left (not that any left vs. right distinction really exists anymore), there would be the fear of the reaction from the Muslim ghetto street, there is a general election coming up next week, and in any case, the process from deciding a ban to actually implementing it would not happen this side of sharia anyway.
Short version: Banning things, especially with regards to The Protected Victim Group #1, is un-Danish, you see. That's not the way we go about things. "Dialogue" is always preferable.
Newton's First Law applies here in Denmark just as it does everywhere else. That, and the paramount desire to appear morally untainted, trumps lesser needs such as "survival" and "freedom."
Al-Muhajiroun aims to overthrow Danish democracy and replace it with an Islamic state with Islamic laws.
That this will never happen is really besides the point. Why do they think they must, in there intense childish ignorance, conquer and rule everybody? So childish is actually pathetic, were it not so dangerous and brutal.
Sharia law has no place, read my lips, no place in the civilized world. Your primitive pagan Allah has no merit before any kind of reasonable judgment, and has absolutely no power to rule over anybody. Arab supremacism is a dead issue. Read my lips. You have absolutely no chance. And the only reason you persist because of this inbred Sharia stupidity drilled into your heads that your pagan Allah is supposed to rule mankind is the height of idiocy. Forget it! It will not happen.
Islamic law is merely slavery cooked over from the 7th century, which the Arab supremacists think they can squeeze into the free world of the 21st century. We do not honor their primitive agreements to obey other men's interpretations of what is right for all of us. There is NO agreement to be had. So take this Sharia and bury back into the desert sands where it belongs, in that deep dark cave of Mohammed's imagined ravings of Islam. There is nothing of value here, nothing. Read my lips. No chance.
New acronym:
Arab Supremassist Sharia Law.
i.e., A.S.S. Law
Has a nice ring to it. :-)
Right next to the Tivoli Gardens, so un-Islamic in thought, word, and deed? Or perhaps next to Illums Bolighus, or some other example of Danish arts and crafts, the kind of thing that for some reason, and despite the ten trillion dollars in oil money that has been received by Muslim oil states since 1973 alone, never seems to result in the slightest art, or craft, or writing, or scientific discovery, or anything at all.
I wonder if Kierkegaard ever took notice of Islam. Or Hans Christian Andersen. Anyone know? Pia Kjaersgaard?
-Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
Last year, after the death threats and recall of Arab ambassadors and attacks on Danish embassies and economic boycotts of Danish cheese and suchlike, the estimable Carlin Romano went to Minnesota to interview Professor Howard Hong, the nonagenarian expert on Kierkegaard. In Romano's article I found this:
"When one views the historical roles of the religions on their journey through the world," Kierkegaard asserts boldly in 1839, "the relationship is as follows: Christianity is the actual proprietor who sits in the carriage; Judaism is the coach-man; Muhammadanism is a groom, who does not sit with the coachman, but behind."
Hong looks up, stunned at the apparent smoking gun, hermeneutically speaking. He agrees the only way to read the passage is, "Sorry, Islam, but you are tertiary, whether you like it or not." Other passages also show Kierkegaard treating Islam as a weaker rival to Christianity. Writing about the notion that Christianity's survival documents its truth, Kierkegaard observes, "The hypothesis may become more probable by lasting 3,000 years, but it does not on that account ever become an eternal truth that can be decisive for a person's eternal happiness. Has not Muhammadanism survived 1,200 years?"
Hong mulls over the findings, surprised given his earlier uncertainty about direct Kierkegaardian commentary on Islam. But it's not a shock in light of the Danish thinker's intense celebration of an inward-seeking Christianity that put believers in direct contemplation of God. What would Kierkegaard do if it were his attempts at satire that had enflamed Islam? "I don't think he would retract it if he were involved," Hong opines. "I'm not sure he'd even apologize."
A post from two years ago, prompted by an article about Muslims in Denmark objecting to "Jewish cookies" (as they are apparently called in Denmark) being distributed, and demanding that their name be changed (a demand that the Chief Rabbi of Denmark good-humoredly shrugged his shoulders about, and said, in effect, "sure, why not?"):
"There are so many things in Denmark that need to be banned if Muslims are to feel at home. There is that terrible story ("The Jewish Girl") by Hans Christian Andersen -- in which he expresses such tender sympathy for the girl, instead of wanting to kill her. Surely that should be enough to have all of Hans Christian Andersen (and note that off-putting middle name) from Danish schools. Who needs him?
And please, in science class, or in any list of famous Danes, kindly omit all mention of Niels Bohr, with that Jewish mother, and his obvious sympathies -- remember how angry he was with Heisenberg just for that little bit of work on atomic physics that the latter performed for Adolf Hitler? How mean can you get? No, skip Niels Bohr, and don't mention his brother Harald either. In fact, skip Tycho Brahe as well, because his data helped to confirm Kepler, and Kepler built upon Copernicus, and Copernicus's theory, as part of the whole story of so-called Western scientific achievement -- when everyone knows all of science is already contained in the Qur'an, and there is nothing further to discover, ever, by anyone -- is highly disturbing, and deeply humiliating, and therefore not to be tolerated, by Musilm students, and since they cannot be expected to simply leave the classroom when such matters are raised, simply leave it out. If non-Muslims want to read about Niels Bohr or Tycho Brahe or some stupid story by Hans Christian Andersen, they can do it on their own time, at home -- they don't need to do it in Danish schools. Oh, and one more thing. That whole story, about how the Danes, and the Danish king, behaved during World War II? Skip it. We don't like it. It forces us to get angry, and we don't like to do that. Don't make us do that. Don't cause trouble in the schools.
Please. Try to build a New Danish Curriculum for a New Denmark. Doesn't that make sense -- if you want to avoid trouble, instead of deliberately being a troublemaker?"

Such centers for jihad propagation need to be resolutely BANNED FROM ALL WESTERN LANDS.
Maybe the barbarians don't like the iPod or iPhone, but they got to love the iSlam. :-)
iSlam = a pet rock painted green. Easy to use too, just repeatedly smash your forehead with it until you fall unconscious. Repeat until coma or death is achieved.
Perfect for that young budding jihadist.
Buy 10 and we'll throw in a cast iron turban. Make a real fashion statement when you go swimming or attend a community function.
