Denmark is willing to arrest suspected jihadists. But it is not willing, nor is any other Western state, to attack the problem at the other end, and even to question prospective immigrants about their views on jihad and Islamic supremacism.
"Denmark arrests 8 terror suspects," by Jan M. Olsen for Associated Press (thanks to all who sent this in):
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Denmark's intelligence service early Tuesday arrested eight Islamic militants linked to leading al-Qaida figures, and said the suspects were plotting an attack involving explosives."With the arrests we have prevented a terror attack," said Jakob Scharf, head of the PET intelligence service.
He did not identify the target.
The suspects — six Danish citizens and two foreigners with residence permits — had been under surveillance for some time and were arrested after police gathered enough evidence against them, he said.
"They also have been producing an unstable explosive in a densely populated area," Scharf said.
He said Danish investigators had worked with "several foreign cooperation partners" in the probe before they rounded up the suspects, ages 19 to 29.
"Those arrested are militant Islamists with connections to leading al-Qaida persons," Scharf said without naming those people. "According to our assessment, there is a direct connection to al-Qaida."
The suspects — of Afghan, Pakistani, Somali and Turkish origin — were arrested without incident, Scharf told reporters. He declined to say whether more people were being sought. Eleven locations were raided in and around Copenhagen, including the Ishoej suburb and the Noerrebro district of the capital.

If only the Danes didnt mock Mo for being violent, these poor Muslims wouldnt have been forced to resort to violence to get their word out.

Curbing immigration from the ummah would lessen the need for arrests. How hard is that for politicians to comprehend? Apparently more 9/11's will be necessary before these useless political hacks are finally turned out of office or strung up for treason because there is NO excuse for the West to continue accepting the wretched refuse of the ummah.

I'll bet you a bean pie there's a mosque connected to this.

The report states:
“The suspects — of Afghan, Pakistani, Somali and Turkish origin — were arrested without incident, Scharf told reporters.”
What is it that this rainbow plethora of ‘suspects’ all seem to have in common?
BINGO – they are all most undoubtedly Islamofascist Muslims! Just literally believing (and acting upon) what the Koran teaches. When is it that our PC indoctrinated leaders will finally realize the painfully obvious?

"The suspects [in the terrorist plot in Denmark] — of Afghan, Pakistani, Somali and Turkish origin..."
--- from the article above
That's a whole lot of national -- "local" -- struggles going on. I think Col. David Kilcullen, that counter-insurgency expert now advising General Petraeus, is going to have his hands full trying to apply his vaunted strategy of "dis-aggregating" what he fondly calls the "local issues" supposedly motivating Muslim terrorists, as here in Denmark. Yes, things are going to get more and more difficult for the "dis-aggregators" in Iraq and elsewhere, and the "it's-hirabah-not-jihad" and "the-root-cause-is-poverty" boys as they try, in their different ways, to explain what's going on. Very difficult.

It looks like his mother. Is she giving the peace sign? I think that's the Palestian way to flip someone off.

hahahahaha...that's the funniest headline I've ever read here. "plotting an interior spiritual struggle" indeed.

But... but... They just want do the “jobs” you lazy natives won't do for sub-living standard wages and welfare stipends. Important jobs like collecting government checks for bigamy, mistreating blind persons with Seeing Eye dogs, random street theater protests, riot like chimps, and blowing stuff up. What’s wrong with you people? Do you people need a few fine fellows from CAIR BABIES INC. to come explain this to you?
“Is that alcohol you're selling in your store Kafur? And you forgot to pay your Jizya? Well, me and my boys are going to take stock of your inventory with our bats.”
Oh yeah, feel the love.

I feel Islam's love everyday senor doeboy.

"If only the Danes didnt mock Mo for being violent, these poor Muslims wouldnt have been forced to resort to violence to get their word out."
I couldn´t help myself to spin that some:
"If only the Danes didnt mock Mo for being violent, these poor Muslims wouldnt have been forced to resort to violence to prove how peacefull they are".
or,
"If only the Danes didnt mock Mo for being violent, these poor Muslims wouldnt have been forced to resort to violence to make us feel their love"
or,
"If only the Danes didnt mock Mo for being violent, these poor Muslims wouldnt have been forced to resort to violence - now it´s the Danes fault people won´t belive that islam is a religion of peace!"
Maby we could make a contest in spinning this and name, as judges, Dinezh, Ali Guma and K Armstrong, to see who comes up with the best lines?
Oh! Forgot - we´re just islamophobes, They´ll probably wont grace us with their services.

Elric66 -- Please redeem your reputation by asking someone at Jihad Watch to delete that vulgar comment. Please.

Good. Only about 8 million more to go. Send 'em Pak-ing. It is going to come down to that anyway. As Clemenza said in "The Godfather," might as well get 'em now "while we got the muscle." Unfortunately the West will probably have to lose a few cities before it wakes up to this.

Wow---willing to die over a cartoon. I'm not surprised at the Minnesota origin. More than bridges are collapsing up there. I wonder if these are the same jihadists apprehended today.
Elric66-No offense taken over definitions...I am not a subscriber to popular culture and there is much I don't understand, or need to...

I believe the information that they were all "Islamic militants" was stated in the article. The MSM isn't trying that hard to obfuscate the obvious presupposition related to events like these anymore.
What is curious, and the new and improved angle it seems, is the direct ties to al Qaida. It would be helpful to know what concrete link exists.
It seems that associating Islamic terrorists with bin Laden and al Qaida is another attempt to clear the good, peaceful name of Islam, by associating these acts with those who supposedly do not practice "true" Islam, contrary to the mountains of evidence that Robert has presented that show otherwise.

Wasn't that Frank Pentangeli, or am I mistaken?

CG,
Pop culture doesnt hold much interest to me either. I use my energies for more important things like whats going on around the world.

Marisol -- Phew, thanks.
Posted by: Josephine at September 4, 2007 1:11 PM

Yes, it was Pantangeli.
I hope the Feds are all over this Minnesota guy and warm up a hell-hole in the Gitmo hotel for him.

"I hope the Feds are all over this Minnesota guy and warm up a hell-hole in the Gitmo hotel for him."
I second that.

Thanks for the obvious but I think somehow that we are indeed ‘on the same page’.

I wonder when the western world will start 'connecting all the dots'? and there are many.

@Sounder: When traffic to my blog actually goes up. LOL.

Any connections to al qaeda are simply the call to jihad.Just as the calls to jihad by the Pakistan nutjobs,like the calls to jihad by the somalia nutjobs,like the calls to jihad by the Afghan nutjobs as well as the calls to jihad by the turkish nutjobs.
Islam is islam.......stupid. Thats the connection.

End islamic immigration and start deporting what there are will prevent terror acts too!
at September 4, 2007 2:21 PM
Foehammer, LOL. Unfortunately it will likely be "raining dots" before that? Hope not!

I'll bet you a bean pie there's a mosque connected to this.

I'll see your bean pie and raise you 2 pork pies and a beer that there is more than 1 mosque connected to this - try a whole community.

Thanks so much for that!
What an entirely appropriate apology it is.
Posted by: Anne at September 4, 2007 5:39 PM
Oh, Sounder:
That is simply priceless. As long as there are holdouts in Europe such as yourself, we here in America will always stand with you.
Entitled, ignorant, violent, unproductive, uneducated, brainwashed punks shall NEVER have Europe or the US.
at September 4, 2007 8:45 PM
Mange Tak, Sounder,
Glad to be reminded that there still are still some on the European mainland left with balls to call a spade a spade.
lol
at September 4, 2007 10:49 PM
Welcome all. er, but I'm a Canuk by the way.
I literally stumbled into that Danish apology here:
http://cowtwngrl.blogspot.com/2006/06/official-danish-apology-to-muslims.html
which was posted by Canadian Sentinel who's blog I visit quite often and I really like here:

Anyway, Sentinel is no dhimmi and it's a hoot!
