Denmark: Leader of Islamocritical party disbarred and jailed for “racism”

Jul 5, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Rasmus Paludan, the head of Denmark’s so-called “far-right” Stram Kurs party, “has been given a month in jail” for racism and defamation.

His stunts have included publicly burning the Koran, sometimes wrapped in bacon, in what he said was a tribute to free speech.

Yet the vilest mockery of Christianity has gone on for years without incident. The reaction to Paludan and others who supposedly offend Islam is an indication of how far Sharia has already advanced in the West; it is taken for granted that any criticism of Islam is “Islamophobic,” “racist” and the like. The treatment of Tommy Robinson in the UK, when he was jailed as he stood for justice against the Muslim rape gangs who ruined the lives of thousands of young girls is another exhibit of how far the Sharia principle of the supremacy of Islam and Muslims has advanced into Europe. Robinson was transferred to a maximum security prison described as a “jihadi training camp.”

The abuses committed in the name of Islam are incalculable, yet Paludan gets sent to jail for calling them out and sounding the alarm loudly to warn Denmark about Sharia incursions into his country. Paludan advocates banning Islam and deportation of Muslims. Whatever one thinks of those remedies, there is no denying the problem they are meant to address.

Islam is not a race. Meanwhile, it is perfectly acceptable in Denmark that Black Lives Matter enforces guidelines dictating that “participants of white skin stay in the background so that people of colour could stand in front.” This racism is no problem. Once citizens stay within the boundaries of Leftist wokeness, everything is permitted.

Vlad Tapes posted more information at the RAIR Foundation HERE, and a call to action which reads:

Write the Danish government at fo@ft.dk and demand that Rasmus Paludan is released from prison with all politically-motivated charges dropped immediately.

If Rasmus Paludan is forced to serve time in prison, demand that he receive protective custody, and that he not be incarcerated anywhere near Muslim prisoners, or that Muslim prisoners must not have access to Rasmus’ person or food or medications.

“Danish far-right party leader sentenced to jail on racism and defamation,” Reuters, June 25, 2020:

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – The leader of Danish far-right party Stram Kurs, lawyer Rasmus Paludan, was disbarred from the legal profession and sentenced to three months in jail on Thursday after being found guilty of racism.

Stram Kurs (Hard Line) was close to getting into parliament in the last election in Denmark with a policy based on banning Islam and deporting hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

Paludan first came to public attention in 2017 when he started making anti-Muslim Youtube videos. His stunts have included publicly burning the Koran, sometimes wrapped in bacon, in what he said was a tribute to free speech.

Paludan was sentenced to 14 days of conditional imprisonment in 2019 for racist speech. He will now face one month of imprisonment with two additional months of suspended sentence after being found guilty of 14 different accounts of racism, defamation and hazardous driving.

Additionally, as part of his sentence, Paludan was disbarred for three years….

      Rasmus Paludan is a hero of all who are concerned for the freedom of expression.

    “It ran on a platform of banning Islam and deporting all of Denmark’s Muslims. ”

    This is basically the Jihadwatch position.

      Does the appalling ELI have a problem with this state crushing of freedom of speech for opposing Jihad terror?

      Not so he says–in fact, his implication is that anyone here who has also opposed Jihad terror belongs in jail as well.

    Motivated by fear. BLM represents no threat to the fortunes or rank of Denmark’s elite while Islam demands revenge to soothe the breasts of the “offended”. Though both forces may march together, the elite know which sharpens its claws and intends to rule.

    The notion that socialism levels all of society is a myth, particularly in Europe where the legacy and wealth of former ruling families continues. Only two actual changes of status occur in cultural revolutions: The old elite reman elite or there is a new elite. Every society is or becomes two-tier.

    Sacrificing the lessors to protect themselves has been the behavior of the elite in every society in every era.

    Denmark’s elite are frightened and falsely think they are assuaging Muslim anger by destroying the warning messengers. They are only chumming the alligators.

    to the Americans here: the States are the only country in the world that has freedom of speech. In any European country you go to jail for speaking your mind. Europeans think freedom of speech in the States is mad, just like the 2nd Amendment.

    • OTTER says

      Jul 5, 2020 at 2:21 pm

      Sorry. There is no freedom of speech as exercised by the MSM in the US.

      Rather we have Sharia.

      Simple test: No paper will ever publish an image of Mo the Pro.

      That is called voluntarily giving up your freedom of speech.

      The constitutional guarantee of free speech has been repealed by the left and by Muslims threatening violence.

      Where Islam comes, ‘Unfreedom’ follows inevitably.

    I am trying to figure out what he said that was considered criminal. Google translated the quotatons below from Danish to English:

    “The court found that the defendants’ statements were derogatory and degrading to a population group and had such gravity that they were covered by section 266b of the Criminal Code. The Court found no basis to regard the statements as part of a factual political debate, and the consideration of the particularly far-reaching freedom of expression of politicians on controversial social affairs could not lead to the statements being impunity.”

    https://domstol.dk/naestved/aktuelt/2020/6/domsmandsret-har-afsagt-dom-i-sag-om-overtraedelse-af-straffelovens-racismebestemmelse-266b/

    Further detail:

    “For example, he says in a video that “the Danes and Denmark are too highly developed and advanced to coexist with the very low-level Muslim cultural waste”.

    At the same time, he says directly to one of the participants at the demonstration:

    “You should be ashamed that you dare to touch your fingers on a Danish passport. Shame on you. It is disgusting that you dare to do that.”
    ***
    In 2019, Rasmus Paludan was sentenced to 14 days in prison for racism. That judgment, according to the court, has had an impact on the decision today, the trial chairman said.”

    https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/rasmus-paludan-idoemt-tre-maaneders-faengsel-og-maa-ikke-foere-straffesager-i-tre

    All of that seems trivial by American standards. I’ve seen worse things said about the most recent four Presidents (Clinton, W, Obama, Trump). It seems hard to imagine someone being sent to prison for saying such things.

    Danes appear to have over-emphasized imaginary “racism” and avoiding confrontation.

    Islam is not a race; or, if it is, then Muslims are the most racist people on earth. The Koran says horrible things about non-Muslims. If saying something about Muslims is “racist” requiring incarceration, then all Muslims must likewise be incarcerated for what their Koran says about non-Muslims.

    I would speculate that part of this case was motivated by the fact the defendant speaks openly, where Muslims will hear him. Muslims recite the Koran in mosques and madrassas, often in Arabic, so that Islamic racist hate speech against non-Muslims does not appear overtly confrontational. Denmark seems to have an aversion to whoever exposed disagreement and started controversy, or whoever started “drama” as might be said in current parlance. Denmark subsidizes Islamic hate speech against non-Muslims, but criminalizes open debate and confrontation.

    We do not have FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION unless we USE it.

    If someone in Denmark wrapped the prayer book of National Church of Denmark in bacon and burned it … NO ONE WOULD COMPLAIN … many Danes would consider that a BOLD, AMUSING, AVANT-GARDE act!

    I applaud Rasmus Paludan for demonstrating that Danes DO NOT HAVE a valid FREEDOM OF EXPESSION.

    Danish PROSECUTORS are DESTROYING the human rights of Danes and submitting their country to DISCRIMINATORY Sharia law.

    There is no freedom of expression in Denmark.

    I think there is a motivation for politicians that is being missed.
    Pollys need to be be seen as good economic managers to get elected or re-elected. Economists see a certain figure of merit of economic growth as a good thing. To grow the economy you need to grow the money getting pumped around the system. If the local birth rate is low one way of doing this is to import people. The only places left to get bulk people is from the shitholes of the world. When they cross a border they bring the values of how to create a shithole with them.
    Most humans are self centered, tribal predators. The pollys are doing what ever they can so they look good and remain in power.

    He wasn’t jailed for burning the Koran or criticizing Islam. That is totally legal in Denmark. You have to read the verdict in detail. The verdict is still wrong anyway and is politically motivated. The problem with Paludan though is, that he can’t control his temper and overreacts (due to a braindamage after a…. trafficaccident?). Otherwise – if it wasn”t for his temper, he would probably have been elected to the Danish parlament in the last elections. It was very close (j2 pct bare).

    FFS!, for the n th. time, ISLAM IS NOT A RACE!! It is a Fascistic, vile, evil, degenerate POLITICAL ideology.

    Back in the 1930’s Carl Jung, the Swiss Psycho – analyst described Hitler, “…as being a modern day Mohammed.” Therefore, this makes Mohammed a 7th. Century Hitler. 1.6 Billion Muslims actively endorse this conduct as the norm. Disgusting conduct by the Danish Authorities.

    So much for freedom of speech. Why is it that muslims can threaten to murder us, or declare they are superior to all other humans and that is ok? But say anything derogatory whether true or false about islam or muslims and you can be jailed. Thats a dangerous position to take.

  14. Left Coast says

    Are the Danes really this friggin stooopid?
    Izzzzlam is an Ideology . . . had adherents of every race on the planet, except maybe Inuit aka eskimos.

    Internationally known British Islamic scholar, I.Q. al Rassooli (IQ), an Iraqi-born native Arabic-speaker and passionate Anglophile, came to Britain over 20 years ago to study engineering. Since then he has dedicated much of his life to the study and critical analysis of Muhammad, the Qur’an, Hadiths, Shariah, Arabic and Islamic history.

    IQ has been paying attention and has discovered something odd at the BBC. Something we have heard echoed here in the States since 9-11, by the media and political leaders ad nauseum: Lies about Islam.

    When searching on the BBC site for the religion of Islam, he concluded: “…it could not have been put up by the BBC but by the Boko Haram Broadcasting Corporation.”

    IQ astutely laid out and destroyed every propaganda published by the BBC (and all those who ditto their dung). And here are two I’d like to share as ammo for your next encounter with a mouthpiece for Muhammed and his minions. Paltering purveyors of the prophets poop almost always call the truth-teller a “racist” or an “Islamophobe”…not possible and according to IQ, here’s why:

    1) “Islam is not a religion but a cult belief system, the cult of Muhammad. It has followers of every race, colour, nationality and tradition, and hence is not a race, therefore I cannot be called a racist.”

    2) “Let me enlighten these holier-than-thou Sharia ignoramuses that ‘phobia’ is usually associated with irrational fear, such as arachnophobia (fear of spiders), acrophobia (fear of heights), ailurophobia (fear of cats) etc. These fears – there are hundreds of them – are not associated with any prior dreadful experience by the person, which is why these fears are irrational. Hence fearing Islam’s scripture is totally rational and not fearing Islam’s scripture would be totally irrational.”

    Allow me to add, a phobia is irrational as a result of ignorance. Those who expose Islam, do so based upon knowledge of the ideology and therefore are NOT ignorant, but rather knowledgeable realists. SO, exposing the twisted texts of the Quran and Hadiths, you can neither be a racist nor an islamophobe.

    With those arrows in your quiver…there’s no reason to shrink back in trepidation, but rather carry on brave warriors for freedom: The battle has just begun!

    When did it become haram to burn the Koran? Nobody has burned the Koran like the Muslims themselves in the desperate attempt to keep it reasonably consistent. Still they have not succeeded.

    To be anti Islam is not to be fascist. Islam has nothing to do with race and it has everything to do with being feeble minded. That is not a prerogative of any particular race.

    Anyway, Rasmus Pakistan has questioned PC which still argues that Islam is the religion of peace with very little to substantiate that claim. Truth will probably not save him as we are living in a time which has no respect for truth.

      Sorry, second paragraph above should read “racist” and not “fascist” and third paragraph should read “Paludan” and not “Pakistan”. Was again outsmarted by my smartphone.

    Paludan is in Denmark broadly considered to be a lunatic, also among the whose like me, who wants Islam banned or censored in Denmark. He is not helping that agenda at all.

    There are other politicians in parlament to vote for instead, like “ny borgerlige” who at the moment polls 10 pct and rising, because of their strong voice against immigration (from muslim countries) and Islam. https://nyeborgerlige.dk/nyheder/udlaendinge/ (use google translate).

    Paludan wasn¨t jalied for BURNING the KORANor criticizing ISLAM. He was jailed for other violations. including data violation and several traffic violations. And for racism, by for example calling a muslim woman a prostitute, and telling her that if she does not understand danish, he kan speek in “negro” to her and then says to her ” bu bu bu”.

    The verdict is very hard though (jailtime), and does have aspects of being political, to silence him.

    In 5 incidents the court found:

    ” that the defendants’ statements were derogatory and degrading to a population group and had such gravity that they were covered by section 266b of the Criminal Code.” And in some cases “Propaganda”

    https://domstol.dk/naestved/aktuelt/2020/6/domsmandsret-har-afsagt-dom-i-sag-om-overtraedelse-af-straffelovens-racismebestemmelse-266b/

    § 266 B : “Anyone who publicly or intentionally disseminates in a wider circle makes an opinion or other message in which a group of persons is threatened, derided or demeaned because of their race, color, national or ethnic origin, belief or sexual orientation. , be fined or imprisoned for up to 2 years.
    PCS. 2. When measuring the penalty, it must be considered a particularly aggravating circumstance that the relationship has the nature of propaganda.”

  17. Savvy Kafir says

    Jul 12, 2020 at 3:04 pm

    Paludan is exactly right. Islam needs to be banned, throughout the Western world, and all Muslims deported. That is the only real, long-term solution to the creeping Islamization of our countries. Anything short of that will ultimately fail.
