(Left: “Support our troops” bow, right: Benjamin O. Yeh)
We all heard about the warning against wearing military uniform in public in Denmark, but when I went training as a volunteer in our National Guard this Sunday, I decided to keep my military uniform on and bicycled 15 km across Copenhagen just to show people on the street that we should not be afraid to show that we support and protect our fellow non-Muslims. The day before, this happened (translated from BT, via 10news.dk — click to subscribe and support):
There are consequences of supporting Danish soldiers in public. Benjamin O. Yeh, spokesman for the Danish war veterans, experienced this himself on a Saturday morning in Copenhagen.
On the back of his car is a yellow bow with the words “Support our troops,” and Saturday it led to threats and spit in the street.
“Take that bow of. I swear I’ll cut your throat and your friends!”
That was the message out of the car window of the car that drove up beside Benjamin O. Yeh Saturday morning in Frederiksberg in Copenhagen.
Kepha says
It looks as if Mr. Yeh is of Chinese rather than native Danish stock (surname seems a non-Pinyin form of 叶). So, it seems that some Danish immigrant communities are fighting for their adoptive homeland, even if others are trying to destroy it. I hope Yeh draws lots of support.
Charli Main says
@Kepha
To the best of my knowledge, there would be NO OTHER immigrant communities in Denmark ( or elsewhere) trying to destroy or take over the Country that has given them a home and a chance of a new life.
Many posters on JW, persistently keep blaming ” multiculturism” and ” diversity” for the appalling behaviour and actions of MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS.
The problem facing Denmark is not ” multiculturism” —— ITS ISLAMOCULTURISM.
Islamoculturism is the polar opposite of multiculturism and diversity.
THERE IS NO DIVERSITY IN ISLAM.
umbra says
Those hiding behind and using multiculturalism to push the ROP on everyone else are the problem. These people include non-ROP types who use multiculturalism to shield ROP adherents from their crimes. When multiculturalism is used in this fashion, it becomes part of the problem.
Wellington says
Don’t forget though, CM, that multiculturalism is a liberal-created “ism” designed to tell a lie, i.e., that all cultures are equal and equally worthy of respect (this is blatantly false; for instance, ancient Greek culture was far superior to any culture ever developed on the island of New Guinea) and is guilty of a gigantic hypocrisy too, i.e., that one culture, Western Civilization, can be excoriated and blamed ad nauseam and examined under an historical microscope as no other culture will remotely be.
I grant you that the most egregious (and dangerous) example of multiculturalism is the way it contninues to exculpate the Islamic world, but multiculturalism in toto is a giant and stupid error, engaged in by Western academics et al. who have a great distaste for Western Civilization.
Charli Main says
Hello Wellington,
The point I´m trying to make, admittedly not very well, is that non Muslim immigrant groups in the USA, Europe and elsewhere, are NOT trying to change the culture of their host country. They are NOT trying to force their religion, language, laws and ways of living on others.
In what way is ” multiculturism” destroying America ?? America is a nation of ” multicultural” immigrants. That’s what has made America a global superpower.
As I see it, the problem facing Europe, USA and elsewhere in Islam, Muslims and Islamoculturism.
Why keep blaming immigrants, per se, for the behaviour and actions of a specific group of immigrants WHO ARE trying to force their religion and culture on everyone else, including other immigrant groups.
Shane says
Excellent point! Muslims are ordered to subdue all infidels until everyone on earth submits to Islam and lives under their barbaric sharia law, which is anti-women and anti-homosexual. This is what Muslims call peace – the whole world is ruled by Islam.
Charlie Griffith says
Those who smugly and righteously use the word “multiculturalism” in what they consider to be the aim and goal of “political correctness”, are really using that fuzzy, warm, all-encompassing term as a shield behind which to establish the further penetration and establishment of a Muslim metastasis inside our America. It’s also a neat set-up opportunity for instant cries and shouts of “racism!” and “prejudice!” [cf Jackson&Sharpton, Limited]
We are so hooked into this idea of the least mention of someone, or even some characteristic of another religion or race being an automatic slur that we’ve become like Gulliver – all entangled by the strands of the righteous Lilliputians.
Our freedoms and their enabling vocabulary are being very skillfully exploited and used against us by opportunists of all types. That’s why we see the brandishing and flaunting of United States passports as a similar shield deliberately covering the vehicle for a big, fat guilt trip to be imposed on us.
We mustn’t permit ourselves to be further intimidated by such partisans or self-seekers. Even if they’re very good at what they do.
Caveat emptor, Dear Readers.
jewdog says
As a counter to the Nazis’ forcing Jews to wear a yellow star during the occupation of Denmark during WWII, Danes donned yellow stars to show solidarity with the Jews, and to confuse the Nazis. Today, Danes should mimic this guy and sport the sticker for supporting their troops. It would confuse and frustrate the Islamic supremacists – they can’t behead everyone.
Islam_Macht_Frei says
“They can’t behead everyone.”
1. Tell that to a Banu Qurayza.
2. Molly Norris had a similar attitude – anybody heard from her lately?
dumbledoresarmy says
SO?
Why the instant wet blanket slapped down, the moment someone makes what seems to me to be a constructive suggestion?
Mirren10 says
Agreed, dda.
It seems to me, to be an eminently constructive suggestion. I hope many Danes will do exactly as suggested.
dumbledoresarmy says
Or, as I have said over and over : STING OPS.
Plainclothes cops – or Danish Special Forces blokes in civvies – driving around with the sticker on their cars.
The *instant* somebody starts in with the threats, or attempts an attack: ARREST. (Have a second unmarked car, sans sticker, cruising close by, in case of trouble).
They could flush out and neutralise a *lot* of troublemakers, if they started thinking creatively.
Ayatrollah says
Why are believers with this attitude still in Denmark when the Islamic state calls?
The west should start a program giving pious brothers one way tickets straight to the caliphate, with the price your western passport.
quotha raven says
Ehm – I’d hold onto the western passport…just a precaution…non?
gravenimage says
Denmark: Man threatened with beheading for “support our troops” sticker
……………………………..,.
This should surprise no one—Briton Lee Rigby, just like the Danish Yeh—were threatened because they sported “support our troops” regalia: Yeh, his sticker; and Rigby, a t-shirt.
And we all know that in Rigby’s case, that threat was carried out.
God bless Yeh for his bravery—acting courageously despite the craven warnings military have been given there by officials.
And yes—Yeh is almost certainly an immigrant or son of immigrants himself. This shows as clearly as anything that the problem in the West is *not* immigration per se, but only Muslim immigration.
Yeh is as patriotic a Dane as anyone could be.
But what about the Mohammdan? Is it a crime in Denmark to threaten to behead someone? It sure as hell should be.
steakman says
And you have nailed it on the nose:
ISLAMIC immigration is the problem. Something that should be outright OUTlawed in North America…and at the same time we should amend our constitutions regarding “freedom of Religion” whereby any cutlure that flys under a religious banner of being Anti Western … does not qualify.
Fit in or F…OFF. The first thing that should be noted to immigrants upon entering North America…apologies if that offends anyone..but I cannot say it any other way.
Wellington says
Whether in Denmark, Britain, The Netherlands, Canada, America, et al., with each passing year it becomes more and more difficult NOT to think of Muslims in Western nations as fifth columnists. And I mean ALL Muslims because what Islam stands for cannot be squared away with such things as patriotism to a Western nation state, a true Golden Rule for all, real freedom of speech, real freedom of religion and true equality under the law.
Those Muslims who sincerely endorse such noble things are not good Muslims and so why place any trust in people who don’t even understand what they believe in. And those Muslims who don’t endorse these noble things are forever untrustworthy right up front and from the get-go.
Either way, the Muslim in the West is not reliable, only the degree of unreliability is a variable. Either way, the Muslim in the West is a fifth columnist. This is not the fault of the West or the fault of those who think this way, as I do. The fault lies entirely with the supremacist, totalitarian, exclusivist ideology which is Islam.
Islam made this scene. No others did. Islam is fully at fault here.
UneasyOne says
Excellent comment. The inherent problem is that what ALL muslims consider a “perfect” man was in fact, a slaver, bandit, treaty breaking rapist of children and female captives, torturer for money who hired assassins to kill his critics, chopped off captives heads and reduced unbelievers to a “protected” status that removed virtually all their rights and eventually all their wealth.
If a “bad” muslim chops off the head ov my family member for some muslim reason, the “good” muslim who lives next door will just shrug his shoulders, and say something about the holy prophet. MUSLIMS DO NOT PROTECT UNBELIEVERS FROM mUSLIMS! (I am sure a few exceptions can be found, but that’s the rule, not the practice. And the helpers? They aren’t “good” muslims. According to the koran, they are hypocrites, maybe apostates, and might be killed.) Just because he doesn’t happen to have a knife at your throat doesn’t mean he is to be trusted.
I am honestly becoming convinced that unless we free ourselves from oil and drive the muslims out of this country (and Europe), Western freedom and democracy are a dead letter. Unless we we acknowledge that we are at war, we will be defeated before we put up a fight. And unless we realize that we have exactly one friend in the ME, we’ll lose that friend to our implacable enemy.
Last time I will ask: Did you see that I acknowledged that you were first on the warning about the threats, blamed it on dirty glasses and illiteracy and thanked you for the courtesy of your reply? Embarrassing mistake (on my part.)
Wellington says
I did see that, UneasyOne. Thanks. Best to you and yours.
epistemology says
Very true. Islam doesn’t belong in the civilised world and we accommodate them and hand them them the rope to hang us with. This Danish guy of Chinese origin is a good example for all other minorities who are able and willing to integrate in their new homelands. But Muslims don’t want that, as you said they’re fifth columnists.
Wellington says
Good to hear from you, epistemology. May you have a Muslim-free day (which is getting harder and harder to do). Take care, my friend.
epistemology says
Thanks a lot for your kind wish, but that’s impossible these days. Take care, my friend.
Rob says
What strikes me about this story and others – including the recent one from New Zealand – is that there now seems to be a special category of citizen or resident.
The special category, which seems to be entirely Muslim and migrant, can demand that their ‘take’ on foreign relations can be demanded with threats.
I don’t agree with some foreign policies of my government, but I make my views known by writing to paper or to my MP and BY NOT VOTING FOR THE POLITICAL PARTY CONCERNED.
As Rowan (Mr Bean) Atkinson once remarked, ‘the best response to a poor joke is not to laugh’.
It isn’t to demand that the jokester be killed.
Salah says
“The special category, which seems to be entirely Muslim and migrant, can demand that their ‘take’ on foreign relations can be demanded with threats.”
Unfortunately, threats work. But unlike many, I don’t blame Muslims, I blame those who bow to threats, those who are too coward to meet threats with an iron fist.
We need to learn how to fight back, how to fight back like REAL men, like the real men we once used to be.
UneasyOne says
The iron fist is what they understand – and what they will employ as they are raping our children in the name of allah.
But they can be easily beaten on the battlefield – and I would consider such tactics as pigs blood in an aerosol to capitalize on their superstitious cowardice. There are many others.
If we fight, we will win. And if we take away the vast fortunes we are pouring in their countries to buy oil by developing wind, solar and other renewables, they will produce nothing but illiterate goatherds.
duh_swami says
meet threats with an iron fist.
Exactly…I have no intention of becoming anyone’s victim if I can help it…If someone threatens me like that, they will immediately meet Mr Fist who is firmly gripping a martial arts hand weapon called kubaton. I don’t expect to be attacked…on the other hand I never underestimate the enemy or any potential enemy. That’s why it’s important to be prepared.
Dave J says
The problem is the dis-conflation of the nice Muslim person at work or down the street with the fundamentalism of the ideology. Especially if you are a left leaning coexistence fan and apprehensive about seeming phobic, let alone confrontational.
Yet the problem remains and is growing. Every day a new attack, every day a new demand.
Meanwhile all FBI and CIA training has deleted any mention of Islam as the by far most active and violent terrorist force. Instead they go on picnics with them – Google “Islamberg, NY”, just one example of the 5th column within this country.
“The command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, by fraud or by force”.
President John Quincy Adams.
BC says
Perhaps the Danes and other EU nations will begin to comprehend what vile people they have allowed into their beautiful countries. as someone above says there is no multiculturalism in Islam, there is only Islamic culture.
The Muslim immigration is the worst thing to happen in Europe since the Black Death, which given the Islamic preference for the colour black is a bizarre coincidence.
dumbledoresarmy says
I hope everyone noticed *this* bit of what I assume is Mr Sennels’ introductory comments to the story about Mr Yeh:
“We all heard about the warning against wearing military uniform in public in Denmark, **but when I went training as a volunteer in our National Guard this Sunday** {my emphasis – dda}, I decided to keep my military uniform on and bicycled 15 km across Copenhagen just to show people on the street that we should not be afraid to show that we support and protect our fellow non-Muslims.”
It appears that Mr Sennels – being relatively young and able-bodied as well as Islamosavvy – has **volunteered for the Danish National Guard**.
Good on him!
Perhaps any other ablebodied Danes of the appropriate age who may be lurking or posting here, will consider doing likewise, if they have not already done so.
If they are older, they can encourage their younger friends and family members to volunteer.
I looked it up and if by his phrase “National Guard” Sennels means the “Danish Home Guard”, it is quite an interesting organisation that has definite possibilities, should the Islamosavvy join it in sufficient numbers.

pumbar says
I hope you notice the lack of crowing about British falling into rubbish. “The witless dhimmi Brits are placing all their hopes for a peaceful future in these de-radicalization programs”
“As long as the hopelessly compromised and abjectly surrendering Brits are recognizing terror states that do not exist”.
Makes us real good to go that does.
quotha raven says
Yikes! Philip Jihadski – That’s quite a poetic rant. It made me dizzy!
Champ says
Where? I don’t see a comment by Philip Jihadski on this thread …
quotha raven says
@ Champ – I can’t find PJ’s rant again; sometimes a comment appears far away from the post it’s responding to, even on a different thread. I believe Jihadski’s remarks answered the article about the Ben Affleck/Bill Mahar program. Vomiting featured prominently. PJ was really disgusted.
Champ says
Ok, thank you for letting me know, Quotha Raven! 🙂
Elaine Goode says
Deport all Muslims back to Sandland. Then they can gleefully cut off each others’ heads and stop causing terrorist damage to the rest of us.
Inka Hutz says
Denmark like the other Scandinavian countries have prided themselves on their tolerance and compassion. In so doing they have allowed their countries to be invaded by a religion and culture that has zero tolerance for anyone but their own, including their well intentioned benefactors.
The thanks the Danes , Swedes and Norwegians get, is having their throats slit. It’s bad enough to lose your freedom but they have given their’s away.
Dave J says
So the native citizenry must pay for the welfare of these immigrants, plus ever higher security costs to police them, track the imams and radicals and now for a program to prevent more radicalization. Sounds like an expensive failure. What are their “great contributions” again?
Bin Laden’s announced goal was not to defeat the West militarily but to destroy us thru bankruptcy . It seems to be working.
Crixus says
It’s time to dust off the surcoat. Sharpen the long sword and smash the mailed gauntlet into the hate filled mouths of these people. They are bullies and facists. Speak to them in the only language they understand.
