The Danish political establishment, by stymieing and stigmatizing efforts to stem the tide of mass migration, will get what it wants: a massive population of unassimilated and unassimilable migrants, among whom will be many who believe that Sharia, which sanctions child marriage after Muhammad’s example, should replace Danish law. What will Denmark look like in ten years? Twenty?
“Denmark’s Hardline Former Immigration Minister Facing Impeachment Trial Over Child Brides,” by Igor Kuznetsov, Sputnik News, January 15, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Inger Støjberg, former Danish immigration minister and deputy leader of the liberal-conservative Venstre party, is facing impeachment from the legislature after a cross-party majority (including her fellow Venstre members) backed the move, Danish Radio reported.
The impeachment trial is a special court that tries ministers and officials charged with illegally executing their duties.
The reason for the impeachment is her 2016 decision to forcibly separate all married asylum seekers, without individual case assessment, if one of spouses was under the age of 18. The order was found to be illegal, which she had been reportedly made aware of. A special commission assigned to look into the situation was highly critical of Støjberg’s actions, concluding that she not only overstepped her duties, but misled the parliament as well.
In her defence, Støjberg said that she wanted to step up the protection of underage girls, so-called child brides at Danish refugee accommodation.
All of the parties on the left wing, along with the right-wing Conservatives and Liberal Alliance, also back the impeachment trial. Surprisingly, even her own Venstre party voted in favour, leaving only the populist Danish People’s Party and the New Right in opposition….
Apart from her hardline immigration politics, Støjberg is known for her publicity stunts, which her opponents condemn as populist. Among others, she published anti-refugee advertisements in Lebanese newspapers, posted a picture of a celebration with cake after passing a 50th law restricting immigration, and authorised a law enabling Danish authorities to confiscate valuable items from asylum seekers.
The most recent instance of Støjberg drawing flak from her peers was when she used the phrase “drain the swamp” associated with US President Donald Trump, who is a highly unpopular figure in Danish politics….

Where are the feminists in this? And no, Gravenimage, I’m not talking about feminists like you! More the mainstream feminist groups, in this case, in Denmark ?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
You mean that GravenImage is a female?
***
Impeachment is in the air these days and, the impeachment of the former Denmark Immigration Minister is a preposterous and as unjust as with this second impeachment of President Trump. The G.S.E.R.S.’s are feeling their oats now, they’re feeling it, and they must assert control.
william carr says
Does one have to be only female to be a feminist? A bit sexist is it not? I support feminism when they are doing the right thing IE. getting equal rights for women etc. but not when they only worry about equality in the Western countries, while ignoring the appalling inequality and abuse that women live under in Moose limb countries
Crusades Were Right says
Probably too busy buying their hijabs for the day when they wear them to show solidarity with the Muslim women of the West suffering “oppression” at the hands of white Christian men, dontcha know! lol
tim gallagher says
A very accurate and witty comment, Crusades Were Right. Many of the western feminist crowd do seem to be total hypocrites as they constantly give Muslims a free pass to carry on with their barbaric ways of behaving.
Keith O says
HAHAHA, sad but true!
Kim Slesvig says
And she is really a nice and very competent person. She cares a lot about Denmark and humans. And does not see the islamic way of living, to be a part of Denmark.
I am here referring to the holy scriptures of islam the curan, sira and hadith.
Read those books, and try to adapt that into western way of living !
tim gallagher says
Good comment. Your last sentence, Kim, in my opinion, sums up the whole situation and problem with islam. Islam is a load of barbaric, backward, primitive garbage (child brides, killing non-Muslims, killing people who dare to leave Islam, etc) and it is 100% incompatible with our more civilised way of living in all western countries. There is no way that these very different ways of life can get along well.
mortimer says
Inger Støjberg is right to defend underage girls from forced marriages. Every girl should get a complete education and have the choice of marriage or career when fully prepared.
Forced marriages, underage marriages and cousin marriages should all be a thing of the past.
jim says
It should be so, as you say. But the new normal is corporate rights trump individual rights. Intersectionality, multiculturalism, minority rights come before individual rights. I recall the old Star Trek show on TV. This principle was even endorsed in some of the episodes. The law of the Federation said no interfering with the values of civilizations they encountered. Once a crew member on one of the series spinoffs tried to emancipate a woman from an alien culture, by teaching her to read and talking about careers for women. But his captain disciplined him for interfering with the girl’s culture, where she had a place, clear obligations and a purpose. In the end she killed herself in frustration. Similar plots reinforced this. Anthropoligists in our time have also found how dangerous it is to disrupt a native populations’ social order. And apparently we have to live with similar principles.
Keith O says
Mortimer, In ever civilised country and society this is the case.
I must point out that in the early days of the US, child marriages were not uncommon, during a family tree search we found relatives in the early 1800s who were married at 13-15 both boys and girls.
The US evolved out of that and banned the practice, except in some states for religious reasons.
Personally, anyone who try’s to protect young girls and women as a whole from any sort of abuse gets my support.
Michael Copeland says
In the UK the law concerning age of marriage dates from the 1920s. The late Queen Mother, born 1900, could have married at 12.
Christopher Watson says
The legal age of marriages for females, men generally did not marry till 24 and women at 22. This was because young people needed a place to live and a job or a piece of land to cultivate. The age of marriage of the upper classes has always been lower because they did not need jobs to pay for their lifestyles.
mortimer says
Note to K.O.: the previous legal age of 12 for marriage was justified by pregnancies in farm communities where most never continued their schooling after that age. As scholarization continued longer (to age 14 or 16), the age of consent also grew. In those times, most children were working at 12. The general age of marriage, though, was sometime in the late 20s when a young man had established himself in a career.
Keith O says
Mortimer, thanks for the background info. As I said, civilised countries have evolved.

Danes are not willing to defend their own culture, language and customs. They do not see that they have no duty to cultivate foreigners who wish to develop separate, independent communities within Denmark.
Kim Slesvig says
reply to Mortimer. Do not generalize !
Lot´s of Danes has taken to the right wing parties, because their political parties does not recognize the problem with integration of muslims in western culture/world.
Some of us works against further migration of people from not western cultures.
And some of us are taking a distance to Thise people. For instans we dont shop in thier stores. We dont by hallal products. We protest when they want to build another Moske.
We say no to official call to the friday prair.We say no to official friday prair in the puplic areas.
We try to spot, when islam is trying to influence on our universities.(from wich americans could learn a lot!).
Some of us are protecting the jewies society from hate crimes, made by muslims.
Some of us try to tell muslims, that what Muhammed did is not nessecarily the right ting to do today!
So please Mortimer. Do not generalize !
Peter35 says
“Problems with integration of moslems into west…”
Since Muhammed crawled out of some cesspit in Arabia 1400 years ago, moslems have invaded 56 countries; not once did they ever integrate—-all 56 countries became islamic. And still stupid western ‘elites’ insist they are assimilating….
Kim, you sound like a decent person, but naive. moslems will one day rule you if you don’t get rid of them, simple as that. –Peter
somehistory says
The poor little girls. Every time someone steps up to protect them from the torture and torment of being raped time and again, every day, by slug slime moslims, that person gets shot down.
Courts rule for “doctors” who mutilate the children and babies and protect their satanic torture and when someone like this lady voices support for the children, the attack dogs rear up and take them down.
Children are not “married,” and the little girls are not “brides.” They are slaves in bondage to rapists; and are made to submit by ones who wouldn’t want to be “in their shoes” even for a moment in time.
Those who apposed her, should imagine being confronted by a raving moslim with a knife intent on doing them bodily harm, even to the point of murder. This is what the children face every day…though the “weapon” is not a knife. A knife to the throat would be a quick release from what they must endure. The evil…straight from satan.

14 years prison for FGM …… unless you’re a muslim … and then it’s a free pass every time
similar scenario for child marriage soon ?
jim says
It is all about multiculturalism and intersectionality. One is supposed to protect the rights of other cultures to practice their values. A common claim is that one is supposed to respect other people’s values. And the values of groups rather than individual rights are to be protected, not the individual rights that feminists and emancipationists fought for centuries to assert and legitimize. In the West women’s advocates worked for years to obtain equal rights for women, including the vote, admission to schools of higher education, careers and political activities, the sciences. But these individual rights conflict with the collective values of the other groups, which are supposedly to be treated as equal.
This is Huntington’s clash of civilizations. And of course the Near Eastern populations have their own cultures, which are victims of discrimination. Hence, they have to be protected in doing what their culture says. These values, such as child marriages are to be respected as equal to Western values. The establishment can profit from identity politics, which enables them to destroy opponents by labeling them racist, phobic, bigoted. Their oppontents are privileged by intersectional discrimination.
But the problem of multiculturalism is that every group has a right to protect its own cultural values except Western societies. They have to yield, in order to eliminate white privilege. Only populists say Westeren countries are entitled to protect their own culture or say they have values that should not be damaged by migrant groups. The left in the US used impeachment and attacks of racism against the populist movement and finally did manage to defeat it in the 2020 presidential election. So it should serve European establishments equally well.
What we thought were universal human rights are simply the rights of the group that holds them. But if a country wants to defend them against a migrant invasion, it is committing bigotry. So the people who claim to be advanced thinkers and defending the progress of mankind are now defending the oppression of chidren and women. Values that arose in a desert thousands of years ago and were fixed around 1400 years ago are now equal or better than values that were the product of Western civilization and Jewish-Christian religions evolving over the centures. Now cultural Marxist and technocratic elites carry the torch of civilization and will prosecute anyone who disagrees. We cannot have child brides, but they can because it is their culture and we must respect it. We are somehow to be the servants of hostile cultures that want to destroy our culture. What sort of madness has the establishment embraced?
Jesper says
Hi. I am from Denmark and follows the impeachment closely.
Inger Støjberg is by far the most popular politician on the right, and will only gain further support from this political attack. It is also an attack from her own political party “Venstre” where she is in strong opposision to the new party chairman who is for a less firm immigration policy. Inger Støjberg was recently forced to resign as vice chairman of the party, and my leave the party and join a party further to the right, with a more firm immigration policy.
But what a waste of time and resources! In Denmark there is only 18 supreme court judges. And 15 of them will now take part in the procedings and trial, making a halt of almost all other cases at the supreme court. The trial will cost millions of $ and the most likely outcome will be a small fine at around 2.000 $.
It is purely political, as former ministers haven’t been impeached for far worse cases.
And it comes at a time, were the current leftist governments 3 major ministers, the prime minister, the minister of defence and the minister of justice, is under preinvestigation for an impeachment, for illegally ordering and threatening the danish mink farmers through phonecalls, with police and military intervention, if they did not immediately kill all their minks (19 milllons) because of covid19. Denmark WAS for decades the world’s largest producer of mink skins, the most exspensive on the world market, which is due to the fact that Danish mink farmers produced a superior fur quality in high demand by consumers. Now that industri is totally gone and can newer be reestablished. Mink skins WAS the third largest Danish agricultural export items of animal origin, representing an annual export value of approx. EUR 1,1 billion.
The preinvestigation will however, NOT lead to impeacments, at the left is in majority in parliament…

Islam: the religion of pedophilia, and men are merely boys.
Walter Sieruk says
This Islamic violation of the human rights of young girls is so terrible that this following information ,very much, needs to be reiterated.
A jihadwatch.org article explains it well where it reads Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.”.
Male Muslim marriage of an adult man to a young girl who is really only a child of common in the world of Islam. One of the “reasons” for this female child abuse in Islam is because of the corrupt and perverse wickedness in the hearts of men. This is seen and described in the Bible with reads “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, another “reason” girl/child marriages occur with middle aged and even old men is because the founder and prophet of Islam Muhammad married a child. Muslims throughout history as well as in current times actually view Muhammad as a “perfect man” and a “great example for them to follow.”
This well might prove the old saying to be true .The saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
It’s also wise to remember prophet Muhammad did likewise engaged in brutal, ruthless murderous warfare. As do Muslims today such as the jihadist Muslim of ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah Hamas and so forth. Many that old saying, just sited above, also explains the excuse for Muslim terrorism in the world today.
Jesus Himself Taught “By their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. Which might explain the vile child “marriage” of Muhammad and his violent and deadly behavior .Likewise also explains the twenty- first century Muslims who in child marriages and blood and murderous violence of Islam .As they see the prophet Muhammad d as their example of who to follow.
With all this about the fruits of Islam along with fruits history reveals about the life of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad .It thus further appropriate to make known that it might be in keeping with teaching of Jesus that Muhammad could well have been an actual prophet . Nevertheless the very most important thing to understand is the Muhammad was not a prophet send by God . Instead Muhammad was a lying deceptive false prophet send by Satan to start a false religion to lead many people astray.
For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15.
Walter Sieruk says
That heinously vile Islamic custom and tradition of male adult to little girls is such a terrible affront all the isgood ,decent and right that following essay on this subject desperately needs to be repeated.
The Islamic practice of an adult male Muslim having a marriage with a little girl who is only a child is clearly seen by most Westerners as a blatant action of child abuse of the vilest sort.
Nevertheless this heinous Islam tradition is accepted as “normal “in most of the Islamic world. Therefore, this may serve as an example of how the influence of Islam is able to warp the cogitation of the human mind to the extent that a person who is a Muslim might not be able to understand the obvious difference between right and wrong.
Such an awful thing as not having the discerning mental power to seethe clear difference is described in the Bible. For in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” [N.K.J.V.]
Mojdeh says
LIfe of Mohammed was short he wrote only chapter 1-10 then political coup by Abu Bakr and rest ogf gang you know they installed psycho Mohamed then he married 6 years old Ayesha. He was impostor of Mohamed. That is way i put it . I do not approve any more chapter after 10 to later was not real Mohamed.
Islam now has 500 divisions, Wahabis are Saudis , Shiite is Iran Iraq , Yemen and Sunnis and Hannafi and Ghadryani and so on…etc.. ISIS , Taliban, Khadiajah was also psycho wife fought many wars.

Ah, Denmark…
When the Germans invaded at the beginning of WWII it was (quite literally) all over by lunchtime with hardly a shot being fired.
It’s the the only time a history book made me laugh out loud.
And if Hitler had won the war, Danish would now be only a second official language.
Yes, the modern Dane knows how to lie down and be trampled by the invaders -unless you are a Royal and then you can just skip lunch and skip across the Channel to England (as they did indeed do).
Peter35 says
The modern Dane realizes when a case is hopeless—-and so would YOU. Danes are at least doing a little better than Swedes and Norwegians, whose ‘leaders’ are a disgrace.
Peter35 says
P.s. You don’t seem to have much of a hold on history, didn’t learn much (anything) eh?
Danish King Christian was one of very few royals who did NOT flee to Britain, but rode his horse daily to show he was still with his people.

What is amazing about the diversity open border idea is how many women political leaders cannot see the danger to there freedom by allowing the migration invasion of muslims/islam into their countries.
