Yes, and if you do, or when you do, there will not be a vacuum. The gap will be filled by something else. Either maintain and preserve your own culture, or see it replaced by another. And that is already happening.
“Criticism after Danish school cancels Christmas to avoid ‘preaching’ to non-Christian children,” RT, December 12, 2017:
Parents of local children, education officials and leading Danish politicians have criticized a primary school after it chose to cancel the traditional Christmas service, due to the presence of students of immigrant backgrounds.
“We took the decision because we have children who are not Protestant,” Marianne Vederso Schmidt, the head of Gribskolen in Graested, a town of fewer than 5,000 people in eastern Denmark, wrote in an intranet posting earlier this month.
Schmidt noted that the decision may have been overdue, as the education law forbids preaching “and it must be left to the individual families whether they want to privately attend a service.”
Ten parents complained to the primary school, and the story was immediately picked up by national media, which speculated that the move was aimed at appeasing the sensitivities of Muslim students. Some accused Gribskolen of double standards, considering that last year it staged a ‘Syria Week’ in which Danish children immersed themselves in Middle Eastern culture, and were given lessons by immigrants.
“I don’t see why our tradition has to be taken away from us, just because someone else at the school believes in something else,” Mette Brüel-Holler, a parent of two enrolled daughters, told TV2. “I come from a small community, where the church is important, and these traditions are beautiful. I remember enjoying them myself as a child, and they are a fundamental part of Christmas.”
The cancellation has also been condemned by the local church pastor, who was due to perform the service and complained that Christmas was being “drained of its deeper meaning” and the mayor of the Zeeland town, who called it a “misguided decision.”
Politicians from across the ruling center-right coalition have joined in the chorus of criticism.
“Danish primary schools have a duty to spread education – and teaching the cultural values and knowledge connected to Christmas is an essential part of that,” Health Minister Ellen Trane Norby wrote on her Facebook page. “What benefits from this decision? Not the culture or level of integration within the country.”
“We have a critical lack of self-esteem. We are a Christian country with our own traditions. We should not sacrifice this in the name of multiculturalism,” wrote Marie Krarup, of the Danish People’s Party, asking social media users whether similar initiatives had been undertaken by other institutions….

THIS! Is utterly rediculous!
WHY should European nations/society be forced to adapt to the ASS-BACKWARD ways of the vile, savage, muslim Welfare parasites?????
Is the “leadership” being PAID OFF with saudi oil money?
I can’t even imagine any other reason for this krap! OTHER THEN TREASON against your own people!

In Syria the war has ended, why these fake refugees cannot return to rebuild their country? The European refugees of the second world war at the end of hostility returned in their nations, for this I believe that the Syrians will not return more in their lands, why are an instrument for islamicizing Europe, and making more children take the place of the original population. The left makes us believe the simulated refugees that in every part of the world the outbreak of war and then can come to live in Europe, all of this is supported by the Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and now also by Turkey as he argued hitler two point zero MERDogan(erdogan). here is what we are discussing in secret meetings of the Council of the Muslim countries, the world tomorrow will come back to the Middle Ages, why these populations are barbarous and uncivilised, are cancer of the Humankind are jealous of us,you believe superiors and that all aspects at the behest of devil allah(Diarrhea pork on him). But in the bottom are wretched,ignorant and as more far from being civilians. This step with ever more Islamic nations that arrive to build an atomic arsenal, than you think that mankind has life? A century? Two? At the end of the next global war caused by hatred and Islamic ignorance will not remain even those to pull the stones and sticks as said Einstein

If you are white, self-esteem and political awareness is racism and bigotry.
If you are a member of any other racial group, self-esteem and political awareness is a desirable trait.
This is unassailable dogma of Progressivism.

RR, the Leftists know what they’re doing: they’re de-establishing Christianity. This is what the Bolsheviks did in the early Soviet Union: they promote Islam and attacked Christianity. Then, they attacked Islam later.
M says
Its not just a lack of self esteem, its a sick fascination with what seems “exotic” and more sexually charged than western culture. A disturbing idea, but look at how rap took over. Just a theory. But how do you explain white women wanting to marry isis terrorists?there’s a suggestion that western culture is boring and foreign cultures are full of sex and excitement. Am I wrong?
LeftisruiningCanada says
The familiar always seems boring.
Until you get to know something worse….
Monty says
You may be right. I suspect that they’ve picked the wrong religion to promote. Once France and the UK are totally Muslim, they will have access to good weaponry, including nuclear. Focusing on Iran and North Korea is pointless if Europe falls to Islam. Or rather, when. The Middle East is running out of oil money. What better way to top up the coffers than by colonising the west? What was that line from Doctor Who? “Resistance is futile…….”

But was it false?

I agree. However they do not see the ‘big picture’ which I believe can only be found in the Bible. The final prophecies in that Book are falling in to place. So many are blind and do NOT want to see it.

Hello dhimmi Dens!
elee says
I just read an article elsewhere by an Israeli general in which he presented statistics showing that the Israeli-“Palestinian” (quotes are mine) claimed far fewer lives than the incessant Muslim-on-Muslim wars in the Middle East. I considered writing him and saying, of course, they’ve got a violent culture, their “religion” enshrines the rule of violence as practiced in 7th century Arabia. I figured he probably already knew that.
The west learned and changed its ways half a millennium ago. It did this by examining cultures and values and rejecting the ones that led to endless brutality and squalor.
Now the very places where this examination is supposed to occur are being captured by this pre-Mediaeval horror. Of course our cultures are objectively superior and more conducive to human happiness for unarmed men and even women. Even the Muslims would rather live in Copenhagen than in Mogadishu.
M says
They’d rather TAKE OVER and plunder Copenhagen….turn it into another Mogadishu and then move on.
LeftisruiningCanada says
You say that like Mogadishu is a bad place or something…….
mortimer says
The bishops of the established Church of Denmark has a God-given duty to preach to ALL the unconverted of ALL nations. If need be, they should be prepared to be martyred for their faith, whether by imprisonment or death.
mortimer says
correction: The bishops of the established Church of Denmark HAVE a God-given duty
Benedict says
M: The bishops of the established Church of Denmark are all women – men included – and they are busy importing and facilitating their future “martyrdom.”
Since the majority of clerics in the Church of Denmark are women their main subject of consideration for some years now has been to promote and assure equal status for same-sex marriages as for traditional marriages.
The Church of Denmark is not a christian congregation: It’s a forum for gender politics.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Like certain denoms here in Canada.
There was a pastor in one such denom who was challenging their dismissal, which was based on her openly declared atheism, as a breach of rights.
If Denmark is anything like that, i’m surprised they still even had a Christmas to cancel.

Monty says
The reason that Islam flourishes is that the Church has failed to do its job. it has become traditional, stale, divided, introverted and complacent. Of course there are exceptions, but I’ve been watching this decline for 45 years. Only a return to the real Christianity of the early church will have any hope of stopping the rot. It may be too late for that. Christians will become a persecuted minority again in most countries. Christians are already persecuted in many countries, especially majority Muslim. The world turns a blind eye, because Christianity is the enemy of the world system and has been since the beginning of the church.
thesailor says
I picked up this comment from someone responding to the question of why Islam had picked this moment to invade the West: “Because its greatest foe – Christianity – has been mortally weakened by Liberalism”.
I think that sums up the situation rather well. I see Islam as a cancer afflicting Humanity, and Christianity as Humanity’s fatally weakened immune system. It does not bode well.
Benedict says
The schools in Denmark are virtually run women. The principal for Gribskolen is a women, Marianne Vedersoe Schmidt, and her staff is 70% female. (http://gribskolen.skoleporten.dk/sp)
Feminists are using the ideology of multiculturalism, an euphemism for Islam, together with their favorite subversive tool: the propagandistic celebration of homosexuality, to radically transform the Danish society. The most intensely hated enemy is, as for feminists all over the world, the patriarchy and Christianity, and since Islam is the most anti-Christian force in the world today, feminists are eager to make bedfellows with Islam according to the principle “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
It’s the same pattern we see all over the world but in the Scandinavian countries it is an especially glaring phenomenon.
Infidel says
HEAR HEAR.. Some of the most RABID FEMINAZZIS in India are COMPLETELY ALIGNED with the most dreaded of Indian Jehaadis…!!!
Infidel says
And just like the feminists in Ur West are against Christianity. the feminists in India are against Hindus//
Eric says
Don’t feminist realize that Islam is male dominated, patriarchal and subjugates women?
Or are feminist secretly attracted to what Islam calls the strong horse; but feminist don’t want to admit this.
Eric
Benedict says
Someone has said that, “Feminism is the collective manifestation of female anger” and anger and resentment is what drives feminism.
Feminists are thus in the castration business, the demasculinization business, the sissification business, the homosexualization business, and feminists have like Muslims and Islam imperial ambitions. And what greater challenge is there left for feminists – now Western men have been domesticated – than to import savages from the Muslim World and try to do their number on them also? Personally I don’t think that they will succeed, but of cause they can try riding the beast for a while. –
Just a thought.
LeftisruiningCanada says
It’s almost worth the downfall of western civilization and the enslavement of free humanity, just to see the result of that.
Or maybe not.
M says
Thats such a distasteful idea its hard to even suggest it but I think its true. Wherever Islam and sharia gets a pass in schools and government there are also rabid feminists in charge, it seems.
David Ramseur says
Yesterday my wife asked her coworker about another coworker of theirs who has not been at work for awhile. This other coworker, who is very liberal, who I wouldn’t expect to say anything not in defense of Islam, initially told my wife that the guy was on sick leave. My wife said, “c’mon, you know me, I know something’s up, tell me”. To which her coworker said, “you know so and so is Muslim right”? My wife said she didn’t know that. She told me that this guy had been nothing but nice to her. She also said that these two coworkers would talk to each other about God and Christianity/Islam. So, her coworker told her that this other guy had gone on vacation to India, and then out of the blue sent her a very threatening e-mail. She brought that e-mail to the attention of HR. Now the Muslim coworker who sent the threatening e-mail is on PAID sick leave for 6 months. It is thought that he isn’t fired because he is of a protected group “Muslims”. And the thought that immediately came to mind when my wife told me this was that her coworker threatened her other coworker and is now extracting Jizya from the company!
Just a real life example of Islam right here in the USA, great state of Texas too. The coworker who told my wife this had all of her e-mails and text messages analyzed to see what might have set this guy off. She is also being watched, surveilled by HR, because she is not allowed to tell anybody about this. My wife is not supposed to know anything! Crazy!
LeftisruiningCanada says
Weird. You say that the ‘guy’ was talking to your wifes female coworker……that’s interesting in itself, and could have been something to do with the change of tone.
Thanks for the story. There must be millions of such little pieces of the puzzle as this. If one could know them, how interesting the experiment of islamic importation would be.
gravenimage says
I’m just glad your wife’s coworker reported this, and did not just cave because the perp is Muslim.. A small thing, but still a hopeful sign.
Tim says
The idea here is for the Muslim children to assimilate into the culture of the country they immigrated to. That teacher has it backwards. They should be baking Swedish Christmas cookies. She needs to be informed about education jihad.
makmorn says
How then do we even begin to fight this leviathan when over half of the citizens, almost all polititians and leaders, law enforcement agencies, halls of justice, and even the church are opposed to us, and refuse to see the clear and present danger?
Benedict says
That’s a good question, makmorn.
If the majority in a culture has decided to commit suicide they will inevitably drag the rest of their countrymen with them into the abyss. So if persuasion to change course doesn’t work you’d better jump of the ship and take a swim over The Atlantic to the U.S. and ask mr. Trump if he will let you in.
eduardo odraude says
makmorn, organize. Form an activist group. Join an activist group.

makmorn, it sounds as though Marie Krarup of the Danish People’s Party is fighting back. Send her a message of support.
Benedict says
Shut down the school and dismiss the entire lot of teaching and administrative staff. Those responsible for the cancellation of Christmas celebrations should never get a job ever.
Benedict says
This is not my comment. Again: I don’t understand why JW permits same names?
gravenimage says
Benedict, I forget what this current posting system is called, but it is not unique to Jihad Watch.
Previously, JW was using typepad, that had hundreds of thousands of users–some with the same name.
I understand this is frustrating, but not really something that JW can help.
WorkingClassPost says
If Denmark cancels Christmas, it won’t be too long until islam cancels Denmark.

Grimly spot on.
Sam says
If Scandinavians hate themselves and their culture so much, they deserve Islam. They should submit to islam and accept Sharia. Why go through a slow death if you can not fight evil Islam?
Monty says
Agree. They should stop kidding themselves. They should also allow all who refuse to embrace Islam to leave. I’m sure there are one or two nations that are relatively safe for us infidels.

If the parents are doing their jobs this should not be an issue. It will become an issue next Ramadan when the peasants are vomiting that down the Christian’s throats…

Stupid idiot woman.

She isn’t smart enough to operate a potato peeler unsupervised, let along be responsible for the education of hundreds of little children.

Denmark: School cancels Christmas to avoid “preaching” to Muslim students
……………………………..
I bet this has nothing to do with other non-Protestants–Catholics or Jews or Atheists. It is all about Muslims. Besides, I’m sure any kid could have opted out of the service. No need to cancel it for all the kids and their families who *did* want to attend.

It is precisely the non-Christian children that NEED to be preached to… sort of the whole point of preaching!
But of course this is all a cultural reversal.
On purpose.
Some choose to comply.
Others don’t.

I refuse to comply.
Anyone notice this sequence of events:
1. pope francis visited the UN in 2015… September.
2. The UN ‘coronated’ him at an official UN ceremony.
3. I’m sure they had some interesting discussion behind closed doors in front of the drawing board.
4. Over the next few weeks, droves of migrants began pouring into all parts of Europe… en masse.
Among other things.

It’s a plot.

your note is well taken. to please the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) is a motive for its slaves (Muslims).to act. the allah god must be very gay that so many migrate. the allah god must be very delighted that so many do anything for it to gain “higher rank.”

I remember Denmark back from the 1980s. The Danes had a lot of stricter laws in regards to alcohol. Which meant that loads of Danes would buy alcoholic beverages and drink heavily once they crossed the border. But they also willingly returned because they loved Denmark. So nice and peacefully.
In the 1990s political correctness hit them as badly as Sweden. And every look and every touch – of a woman – became automatically “rape”. Basically, feminazis running the government, infesting higher education etc.
And now they have the same issues as Sweden. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED…

Dennmark is lost along with any other country that allows islam even an inch; multiculturalism is pure bullshit; non-muslims must fight these cretins; they try to smooth over islam when there is nothing to smooth over; islam is PURE vile; hates women – ask those who got their female parts cut off – nothing good has ever or will ever come from islam; they want complete domination and this multicultural crap is a sham and a technique they use for screwing non-muslins out of their countries. it will only get worse so wake up and stop getting crapped on. they love to take over schools with their demands, etc. Do you see any non-muslims pulling this crap???
wake up
Billy Chickens says
Whine whine whine. The world has seen this dhimmitude coming but when it arrives Christians wring their hands and whine. Danish dhimmis get angry, the whining begins and so the old “We told you so!!” is here. What to do, what to do.
Well…the Danes elected their liberal immigration loving government. Will the Danes, Germans, French, British, Swedes now find courage to fight Islam? Send Muslims back to their own Islamic countries? Deport all arrivals? Stop the building of mosques? How stupid can Christians be? RE-e-e-e-eal stupid, and Muslims know this. Muslims are winning Europe, school by school, town by town, city by city, country by country.
Looks like in the future it will be Eastern Europe against Western Europe since Eastern Europe has the guts and courage that Western Europe has let evaporate. People – this is a battle between good and evil. Principalities and powers.
When Western Europe becomes Dhimmi European Islamic States they will advance against Eastern Christian Europe. No one listened to Bat Ye’or, Geert Wilders, Robert Spencer, etc. so when you become a dhimmi, do not whine. Just toss away the Christian culture you never loved enough to stand up for, live in dhimmitude and keep quiet. Either that or start to stand up and fight back.

This is happening all over the western world and it is becoming ridiculous!! I live in Australia. I don’t celebrate Christmas as I am Jewish but I live in a Christian country where freedon of religion means I can practice my religion . At this time of year Christmas is everywhere and it is a beautiful thing. I will never forget last year wishing a client a merry Xmas and getting blasted with a “can’t you tell by my name that I dont celebrate Xmas!?!?”. ( you can guess what kind of a name she had). My response….”so what!! Neither do I but we live in a Christian country and it is Christmas!! So have a very merry Christmas !”. She slammed the phone down on me. My family came here after the Holocaust and were given an opportunity to rebuild their lives and to heal after the horrors of the concentration camps. We will forever be grateful for all we have received and proud of what we have contributed. Why come to a free and democratic country if you cannot appreciate and respect the local customs and holidays? Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
