But…but…in the U.S. we’re constantly told that only greasy Islamophobes believe that Islam and democracy are incompatible. Have these Muslim groups in Denmark somehow come under the influence of greasy Islamophobes?
“Danish Muslims urged not to vote,” The Local, June 5, 2015:
Two radical Islamic groups in Denmark argue that democracy is incompatible with their religion and have told Muslims to boycott the June 18 election.
The controversial Islamic organization Hizb ut-Tahrir has urged Danish Muslims to stay away from the voting booths on the upcoming June 18th election as a form of protest against the democratic system.
“We are committed to being active participants in our society, but it has to be on Islam’s terms, without compromising our own principles and values. Democracy is fundamentally incompatible with Islam, and it is a sinking ship,” the organisation wrote in a press release, adding that the way forward for Muslims in Denmark is to oppose the country’s “Islamophobic” integration policies.
Hizb ut-Tahrir has campaigned since 1953 for the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate, although unlike groups such as Isis and Al-Qaeda, it claims to reject the use of violence to establish its goal.
The organisation has often been at the centre of controversy in Denmark. Following the twin shootings in Copenhagen in February, Hizb ut-Tahrir said that the Danish society should bear the blame for the actions of gunman Omar El-Hussein.
A representative for the notorious Grimshøj mosque in Aarhus, known for having declared its support for Isis, issued a similar statement in an interview with TV2 Østjylland, saying that “people should stay clear of the voting booths. We have concluded that only Allah can pass laws, as he says himself in the Koran that this is so.”
Danish politicians have condemned these statements, with Martin Geersten from the centre-right party Venstre releasing a press statement calling on Hizb ut-Tahrir to “leave Denmark and instead try to eke out an existence in the Isis-controlled areas in Syria and the Levant, which are apparently the conditions they hold up as an ideal.”
A political majority has recently called on the nation’s public prosecutor office (Rigsadvokaten) to explore the possibility of banning Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is already banned in neighbouring Germany and a number of other countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Russia and China.
Don McKellar says
Let us hope that this strengthens the poll numbers of those who are running who want a new, sane approach to Islam and moslem immigration! This is a good thing.
jayell says
Couldn’t agree more! If they don’t vote, they don’t register their opinion. Their problem, and good for everyone else.
Lioness says
This is good. Why should they vote at all, they are foreigners with complete lack of understanding of Danish customs and way of life. This makes it easier to elect a better class of Danish politicians, hopefully.
dumbledoresarmy says
The fewer resident Muslims vote in any majority non-Muslim country, the better. That way, the Muslim block vote cannot be dangled as a carrot to corrupt non-Muslim politicians.
And kudos to those Danish politicians who have woken up a bit and are calling for Hizb-ut-Tahrir to be banned. I hope they keep pushing and that they achieve a ban; then they can move to the next step, identifying Hizb ut Tahrir operatives and agents and removing them from Denmark and shutting down their bases of operation.
mortimer says
Hizb ut Tahrir is a fascist, supremacist party advocating pure, Islamic, fascist theocracy. They are not much different from ISIS in philosophy. Many of their members probably support ISIS.
Mirren10 says
”The fewer resident Muslims vote in any majority non-Muslim country, the better. That way, the Muslim block vote cannot be dangled as a carrot to corrupt non-Muslim politicians”
I agree, totally.
katnis says
I second Martin Geersten’s sentiment: “leave Denmark and… eke out an existence in the Isis-controlled areas in Syria and the Levant, which are apparently the conditions they hold up as an ideal.”
Linde Barrera says
To katnis- I give Martin Geersten 3 thumbs up! So glad he was politically incorrect and had the guts to speak out. The free western world needs more of his kind.
Stardusty Psyche says
I agree with the Islamic fundamentalists and urge all their followers to never ever vote.
Linde Barrera says
To Stardusty Psyche- Good evening. I read where you are against voting. So why is that? Don’t you want to participate in a society that creates, interprets and enforces it’s own laws? If not, I think you should begin practicing the Michael Jackson Moonwalk because that will help you look more robotic when you move, coupled with the robotic way your brain will need to be conformed to think under Islamic Sharia law. That is what you are hungering for, isn’t it? Looking forward to your response.
Stardusty Psyche says
Hi Linde Barrera ,
I said “I agree with the Islamic fundamentalists and urge all their followers to never ever vote.”
The Islamic fundamentalists say Islam is incompatible with a democratic elections, I agree.
The Islamic fundamentalists say their followers should not vote, I agree.
It will not surprise any of my friends here that I voted for Obama twice and I am sooooo glad McCain lost and Romney lost.
“Sharia law. That is what you are hungering for, isn’t it?”
Well, I guess you have been too busy with a real life to have seen my characterizations of Islam posted around here…that’s OK.
Here is another of my “indispensable” contributions:
“Islam is a fascist, misogynistic, homophobic, homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, enslaving, and barbaric doctrine. ”

Have a good evening 🙂
Western Canadian says
Linde, a quick word of advice re:: dusted psycho…. He is a low grade troll, who had come here for the purpose of amusing himself, with a juvenile level of knee-jerk contrarian positions, that he mistakenly takes as indication of wit and intelligence….. Numerous of us, Wellington included, regard him as not worth the time, and have well founded suspicions as to who he is and what he is after….. mainly wasting our time.
Hope you are doing well, and enjoying life.
Stardusty Psyche says
Hi Western Canadian,
Thanks for giving Linde a brief summary of my contributions here, but you did not offer any specific references or quotes, so I’ll help your efforts along a little and suggest she can read Dan Triplett for a very incisive commentary here:

Oh, BTW, that is a pretty great skill you have, mind reading my purposes remotely though the internet…I didn’t realize that was even possible!
Linde Barrera says
To Western Canadian- Good afternoon Canada! I sincerely thank you for your 5:22 am post to me about answering Stardusty Psyche, whom you hilariously dubbed “stardusted psycho”. I had my suspicions that s/he was a troll, but I guess it is the teacher in me to call out anyone who makes a statement that is non-sensical, and to explain himself. (I taught elementary school in NYC for 19 years.) So please don’t be aghast or annoyed at me when I do this to certain commenters here. When a person such as you, mortimer, gravenimage, Wellington, Angemon, Voeglinian, Alarmed Pig Farmer, RonaldB, Don McKellar, Champ, Philip Jihadski, Saleem Smith, and others make a statement that I don’t understand, I ask for clarification. I am not the most savvy or knowledgeable person on politics and what some of these potential candidates or even those already in office do or say, frankly confuses me. For instance, I saw a photo of Senator John McCain (from about 2005) with a group of men in the middle east, and one of the men was Abu Baker al- Baghdadi, now the head honcho of ISIS! What the hell?! So I rely on the legitimate posters here like you and many others, to write truthful comments to help me learn. I am very grateful for you all. And to that other group of posters who make remarks that confound me, I question them to see if they can substantiate their claims. Some can, some try, and some don’t. So this is my thinking. Thank you for your heads up and the excellent thinking you offer here. Stay free Western Canadian.
Angemon says
Yes, how dare those islamophobic Danes try to get muslims to integrate? Don’t they know islam should rule, not be ruled?
abad says
I’d like to know what Muslims are doing in Denmark to begin with. They make lousy Danes.
Huck Folder says
Give them a large jinn, they’ll make Great Danes.
mortimer says
A superb confirmation of the counterjihad, Hizb ut-Tahrir wrote : ““We are committed to being active participants in our society, but it has to be on Islam’s terms, without compromising our own principles and values. Democracy is fundamentally incompatible with Islam, and it is a sinking ship.”
Muslims believe ‘democracy is a sinking ship’. Muslims have a duty to sink it. Muslims can sink democracy fastest by destroying freedom of expression.
Nikiforos Fokas says
Denmark … ahahaha what a joke !
Paul says
The worship of narcissist and psychopathic child rapist Mu-Ham-Mad
(pig piss be upon him) is incompatible with anything halfway decent
and humane. I’d have thought that was perfectly obvious by now.
Marty says
Danes infected with the mental disease of Islam should be barred from ever exercising the franchise.
No Fear says
Let them refrain from voting. Hopefuly they will disappear from the electoral rolls and also from the welfare system. Let them follow the “theocratic government” of a 7th century Arab idiot whose method of survival was raiding Jewish caravans and killing Jews.
Westman says
Yup, the West is such a sinking ship that Muslim refugees are drowning to get to Italy and show Europe what success looks like. Such altruism.
particolor says
Exactly !!
Robert R says
The politicians has condemed thise statesment, but they are not going to do any thing about it!
josepxicot says
Well in Denmark is not an islamic correct way,but in Argelia,Libya,Tunis and Egipt,yes it was Ok,of course
in these countries,they are the majority,in Denmak,still not.
Gufo says
I wonder why we always need muslims to tell us what’s more than obvious… about muslims! Like they know better, don’t they?
b.c.terry says
Islamic rule is the only form of government muslims will ever accept.
Stephen says
Martin Geersten you are a true forward thinker and a hero, I hope this understanding of the system catches on worldwide ..
All Muslims should be registered to a Mosque, and all misbehavior “tied to the mosque” the mosque should be prosecuted as this is the only place a terrorist gets the drive…
If an associated moslem commits bad behavior, everyone in the mosque should be removed from the social welfare..
mike ryan says
One might make the obvious point that Muslims should not even be in Denmark.
Dave says
He is right, all Muslims in the west are being traitors to Allah because they are living a bad Muslim life under kafir laws instead of sharia…. unless of course they plan to overthrow democracy for sharia law. But out politicians say this isn’t a possibility, so therefore it can’t be true!
