Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Denmark: Muslim refugees persecute Christian refugees

Nov 23, 2014 5:42 pm By Robert Spencer

refugeesDenmark“Christian asylum seekers are repeatedly exposed to everything from harassment to threats and physical abuse by other refugees in the asylum centers, simply because they have converted from Islam to Christianity.”

Where could they have gotten the idea to do that? Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Yet Muslim spokesmen such as Harris Zafar, Mustafa Akyol, Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many others) have assured us that Islam doesn’t punish apostasy and condemned those who point out that it does as bigots and “Islamophobes.” So are  Zafar, Akyol, al-Marayati, Bassiouni, and Eteraz on their way to Somalia as we speak, so as to explain to the Muslim clerics who are denouncing Abisaid Abdi Ismail that they are misunderstanders of Islam? Akyol made a reasonably good statement recently; where are the others?

“6/10 Danish priest: Christians are persecuted on asylum centers. Christian’s bicycle tampered with so he crash and breaks both hands,” 10news.dk, November 22, 2014:

Christian asylum seekers are repeatedly exposed to everything from harassment to threats and physical abuse by other refugees in the asylum centers, simply because they have converted from Islam to Christianity.

This is the conclusion in a study paid by The People’s Church Development Fund and conducted among Christian refugees using Apostelkirken in Vesterbro. The study was partly conducted by priest Niels Eriksen Nyman, who comes to the conclusion that more than one in three responding asylum seekers have experienced abuse because of their faith. …

“There are certainly many more cases around the country than the ones we hear about in the church. I hate to say it, but I’m afraid that on some of the asylum centers there are some very unhealthy control mechanisms when the staff turns their back. There is the daily, formal management of the centers, and then there are the informal power that can be extremely potent and unpleasant,” says Niels Eriksen Nyman … [Nyman continues:]

“I refuse to support Islamophobia, but we have a serious problem here.”

Just within the past week, there have been two episodes according to Nyman: An eight year old Christian at the Center Sandholm was bullied and beaten by the larger Arab boys on their way to school. Now the boy nolonger [sic] dares to go to school. On the island Bornholm, somebody had tampered with a Christian asylum seeker’s bike so that he crashed and broke both hands. …

    The Christians are screwed. As always, the Muslims will be given preferential treatment, no matter what they do to the Christians. One way to solve this problem is to STOP the flood of Muslim refugees in Europe

      stop the refugee resettlement program in america. no more muslims to the USA. we don’t want problems like Europe is having. tell the pope to stop supporting this program through catholic charities. it is no coincidence that 35@ of the prisoners in italy are muslims.820,000 of known legal immigrants live in italy. another 100,000 are illegal immigrants. so pope francis, please stop sending them to america. we don’t want them here, keep them in italy.

        That’s what he have here too : all these ” Lampedusa refugees ” that come to Italy are given 500€ plus a ticket to germany – one way from Italy .

        This is illegal , but nobody cares .

        Most of these ” refugees ” Are young , violent Muslims who sale drugs and FORCE to stay here with strange methods like occupying Berlin TV tower – which never was mentioned in the news of course .

        They beat up social workers and demand to get new stuff : no like poor Germans who go shopping to welfares tores even for shoes 🙁

      “One way to solve this problem is to STOP the flood of Muslim refugees in Europe” – well said. And the only way that can be done? Stop the politicians bringing them in. Islam is the enemy of humanity, and politicians get a massive power-trip in shoving Islamofascists down our throats, knowing how much we hate it. Muslim-enabling politicians will be the death of civilization unless we can stop them.

      George Orwell made the point in ‘1984’ that the reason political elites create such suffering for us is because if they did what we want they would feel they were no more than our public servants. By contrast, to do what we HATE confirms they have immense power over us. Negative stimuli must be applied to politicians so it is no longer in their self-interest to infect our civilizations with Islamofascism.

      Preferring not to use your screen name since it has been used towards me specifically and others as a derogatory term I think the blame starts with us for not enforcing the law against those who break our laws and treat jurisprudence is an equal non discriminatory way. However, we have an element within our society and apparently in Europe too who feel they must elevate one or two cultures or religions above all others and act as though they are impervious to their actions and that the host society must conform and accept the religion or culture of the incoming people. I don’t understand it! The greatness of America is that people have come here from all over the world with the intent to become an “American”. Yes, they keep their religion but that is separate from the State. People can still retain the lawful aspects of their culture within the larger American society but why would you want to come here if you wanted to continue the lifestyle you had elsewhere. America represents opportunity; because you can change.

        ” I don’t understand it! The greatness of America is that people have come here from all over the world with the intent to become an “American”. Yes, they keep their religion but . . . ”

        Trouble is their “religion” encompasses and controls every aspect of their lives and thus they cannot “keep their religion” and at the same time become Americans. The two philosophies are exact opposites. The sooner the West recognizes this fact the sooner we can get on with solving the problem.

          Clarifying my previous posting, different religions and cultures assimilate into American life at a different speed. The question is in order to integrate within American life, what accommodations or compromises if any, are Muslims going to make in order to fit into our lifestyle. Will they even want to to fit in after the immigrant generations? If they do, aspects of their religion may become less & less important or orthodox. Orthodox Judaism, Fundamentalist Christianity compared to another era, Catholicism and so forth became less strict or broke off into other branches that were less strict. The American experience definitely was a catalyst for this change. The question is whether Islam will evolve within the American experience or will it remain hard-fast because of bureaucrats accommodating each demand they have in order to stay compliant with Sharia and perhaps society at large acquiescing. This remains an unknown

          @Jack Holan

          No it is not unknown. Please study the Islamic topic of Hijra. Also study how Muslims have migrated (as traders and as jihadis) throughout history. Not once did they ever assimilate into the non-Muslim population.

          The same will happen in the US unless Islam is opposed. There is nothing special about USA that should make Muslims assimilate into our society. The concept of separation of church and state works only as long as the population respects it. Muslims do not give two hoots about such a concept; mosque, state, and law, are all part of the same package in Islam!

          Hence, for the good future of our country and our loved ones, we HAVE TO oppose this totalitarian ideology.

    It’s outrageous that things like that are possible in Western countries. We have to close our countries for muzzies. Don’t let them in. That’s the best solution. If they kill each other that’s fine with me.

    • Jack Holan says

      Nov 24, 2014 at 9:13 am

      One problem with sending Muslims back from where they came is they were killing Christians wholesale in those places while our elected President sat quietly on that but was concerned that the dignity of Peaceful Islam was respected and forbid profiling, and so forth. I am sure I don’t need to rehash here country by country where Muslims in the ME are murdering Christians for being Christians just as B have been murdering us Jews for being Jew. They want only Muslims living in the ME. What it comes down to is a War of ideologies! We would at this point (unless Obama gives Iran the potential to complete the Bomb) prevail in a physical war. The idealogical war, do not underestimate their abilities. Perhaps you and I see them one way but when Israel brings to the World irrefutable proof, and the Muslims bring the Big Lie repeated ad nauseum and picked up by university kids; suddenly the Muslims word is the accepted word of truth.

    Rather a leopard will change its spots than a muslim his behaviour.

    It does not matter wether this happens on a global,continental,regional or rural scale.

    And even under most extreme circumstances where(one may think) awareness is stringently inevitable(eg being saved by a christian from being killed by a muslim)
    the muslim is so stupid and ignorant that he will attack a christian in that house where he was given shelter.

    Islam fails in all disciplines but it’s almost perfect in dehumanising people and develop their negative tendencies
    and islam never fails to surprise in a negative way,day after day after day
    since 635 ad.

    I would say they could prosecute the offending Muslims for hate crimes as they come out of reception, but to do so would be islamaphobic. The laws that govern are not for Christians.

    They are no refugees !

    They are invaders and parasites !

    Ghaddafi once said : Turkey is the Trojan horse to islamize Germany and whole Europe — he was so right .

    But they still stream in , now even from Africa .

    I feel for the danish people – so nice ones and a beautiful land !

    Let’s stick together and resist and then kick the butt of EU !

    I had a shouting match in class over this once. It went on in Arabic, where a Muslim boy was bothering a Christian girl. The girl claimed she was being threatened, another Iraqi boy claimed the botherer was being a blowhard. I had enough, threatened a call home, and the boy apologized. Still, stories like this lead me to pray that God would deliver my school from this kind of evil.

    I am certain you are mistaken about Jews hating Christians as a generalization.

    • Jack Holan says

      Nov 24, 2014 at 8:55 am

      JayShawn, I certainly can’t argue with you there and not that it takes away any pain, Jews who do believe in G-d or have a conservative tilt (25% voted GOP) come under the gun of these very same people individuals and groups you have mentioned. I do not hate them however I cannot nor ever will understand where they get their views and why they express a genuine hate of Jews that their self-hate is as clear as day! Just as I said to you before I don’t be the vast majority of American Jews hold ill-will towards Christians (especially in light of the very high rate of inter-marriage). What in some instances you may perceive as hate is a sense of inequality and therefore a fight in the courts for enforcement of Separation of Church and State so as not to be confronted with invoking in the name of JC after a school prayer and feeling excluded. I understand it but we have take the subject way too far since it is impossible to understand history, literature or law for example without it, since our society was built upon the Judeo-Christian Ethos. I went to school under both systems of management and did feel good as well as excluded at times. This does not equal hate and I harbor nor do fellow Jews I associate hold negative feelings forwards Christians. The subject frankly never comes up. I hope I have clarified for you different parts within the Jewish Community that are at play. Hollywood for sure is not representative.

    @JayShawn

    Who is there to protect us when all these groups want us to go away?
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    The One who has promised never to leave us or forsake us. He warned His followers many times that they would be hated, just as the world hated Him.

    18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.'” John 15:18-25

    And in Matthew 10:22, “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.”

    “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20

    What is almost comical is that the ‘refugees’ know they can get away with it.

    If you were a real refugee from some hell-hole, you’d think you’d be on your best behavior. You’d think they would be spending their time thanking people, asking to volunteer helping around the place/community, wanting to take Danish lessons, etc., etc. and of course they wouldn’t be doing anything which would even smack of a criminal act.

    Nope… they know full well they have lawyers, appeals, and how to play the game. They know full well that they can commit crimes even while awaiting their refugee hearing and it won’t mean anything. And of course… if you can get away with committing crimes while awaiting your refugee hearing…. of course why can’t you attack people after they let you into the country?

      They come to colonize my friend. They want nothing to do with the foreign culture who’s land they inhabit. Watch the show on the history channel called Vikings. They want loot and plunder from rich infidel lands not to assimilate. They also wish to export their culture to infidel lands.

    The only way to stop this is to stop importing these bastards. Also the Christians should fight back. Go to school in groups, organize. And PUNCH back. The muslims are bullies but also coward when you fight them back.

      The male overlord is not her ‘protector’ or ‘guardian’ but her master, and Christy is nothing but chattle he owns. He can get rid of Christy over whatever little reason he wants.

      Only Christy thinks she is protected under him.

    Three questions: 1) Considering the limited immigration policy that the western states have, shouldn’t they be more discriminating as to whom they allow to move to their country(s)? 2) Due to the possible mass exodus of Christians, from Islamic countries, might it not be prudent to give preference to those who genuinely suffer religious persecution? 3) And aren’t most Muslims ‘economic’ refugees?
