Denmark OKs bill to seize assets from refugees

Too late, perhaps but still....it's a start.

Denmark OKs bill to seize assets from refugees

COPENHAGEN: Denmark's parliament passed measures on Tuesday aimed at deterring refugees from seeking asylum, including confiscating valuables to pay for their stay, despite protests from international human rights organisations.

The measures, which also include extending family reunification among refugees from one year to three years, are the latest sign that the Nordic welcome for refugees is waning as large numbers flee war in Africa and West Asia for a better life in Europe.

The "jewellery bill" is the latest attempt by Denmark's minority centre-right government to curb immigration to a country that took in a record 20,000 refugees last year. Under the bill, refugees could keep possessions amounting to $1,450. Valuables of special emotional value such as wedding rings will be exempt.

During a three and a half hour debate, dissenting voices from left parties were heard. Denmark isn't the only Nordxic country trying to shut its doors to migrants. Sweden, which took in over 160,000 refugees last year, introduced checks on its border to Denmark at the start of the year.

Danish town makes pork mandatory in public institutions

Did I mention that Holger Danske was from Denmark?  (yeah, I know Holger was created by Hans Christian Andersen but we all know he was real...and IS real).

Danish town makes pork mandatory in public institutions

COPENHAGEN: A Danish city has ordered pork to be mandatory on municipal menus, including for schools and daycare centers, with politicians insisting the move is necessary for preserving the country's food traditions and is not an attack on Muslims.

Frank Noergaard, a member of the council in Randers that narrowly approved the decision earlier this week, says it was made to ensure that pork remains "a central part of Denmark's food culture."

Denmark is a major pork producer and it is the most popular meat, but it is forbidden to Muslims and Jews. Most of the asylum-seekers who have arrived in the country in the past months are Muslim.


Noergaard, a member of the anti-immigration, populist Danish People's Party that proposed the council motion, said Thursday that it wasn't meant as a "harassment of Muslims," but added that he had received "several complaints about too many concessions" being made to Muslims in the small, predominantly Lutheran country.

"The signal we want to send here is that if you're a Muslim and you plan to come to Randers, don't expect you can impose eating habits on others. Pork here is on an equal footing with other food," Noergaard told the Associated Press. He said that halal meat, vegetarian dishes and diets for diabetics would still be available.


In 2013, then-Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt lashed out at some nurseries after they started serving halal-butchered meat instead of pork because Muslim children had refused to eat it.


Monday's vote in Randers, 210 kilometers (130 miles) northwest of Copenhagen, follows last week's government announcement to further tighten immigration by forcing asylum-seekers to hand over valuables to help cover their housing and food costs while their cases are being processed. Last year, some 20,000 people applied for asylum in the nation of 5.6 million.

Top Ten Names of Criminals In Denmark All Arabic

The story comes from Breitbart/London via The Religion of Peace.

REPORT: Arab-Named Men Most Likely To Be Criminals In Denmark

Criminal statistic research by the University of Copenhagen shows that in Denmark the top-ten criminal forenames in the country for men are all Arabic origin.

The research, which took in how likely an individual with any given forename was to have a criminal record assessed men and women’s names separately. While female names were more evenly distributed and predominantly were popular in Eastern and Balkan Europe, the top ten male names were entirely of origin in majority-Muslim nations.

The male name most likely to have achieved a criminal record is ‘Alaa’, an Arabic name related to Aladdin that translates as ‘Allah’s Servant’. Remarkably, one in five of all Alaa’s in Denmark have a criminal record. Alaa is followed by the popular Turkish forename ‘Ferhat’, and the Arabic ‘Walid’.

Many of the names on the male list come from the Lebanon, Morocco, and Somalia, reports Metroxpress.

Explaining the results, Michael Lerche Nielsen of the University of Copenhagen said among migrants a small number of very similar names was very common, which intensified the concentration of criminal Alaa’s.

Yet this does not change the fact that crime is twice as high among migrants and the children of migrants, according to figures from Statistics Denmark.

While the male migrant criminals are responsible for more serious offences, the Eastern and Balkan European women were more often arrested for petty crime, said researcher Gerd Battrup.

He remarked: “Here you find shop thieves. The shoplifters with the wheeled shopping trolleys”.

Despite eastern Europeans occupying the top spots in the women’s league, on average eastenr Europeans as a whole were not only significantly less criminal than Muslim migrants, but they were less likely to be convicted for crime than ethnic Danes too.

Regardless at the other end of the scale for the least likely to be convicted of crime, traditional Danish names dominate. Traditional women’s names such as Rigmore (0.1 per cent), Amalie (0.6 per cent), and Anni (0.7 per cent) are safe bets for parents who would see their children keep on the straight and narrow.

For men Liam (0.2 per cent), Egon (0.9 per cent), and Peter (2.2 per cent) are among the least likely to be convicted.

Denmark posts anti-refugee ads in Lebanese newspapers

The Danes have woken up.

The story comes from Al Arabiya.

Denmark posts anti-refugee ads in Lebanese newspapers

The Danish government has published advertisements in four Lebanese newspapers Monday that discourage refugees from travelling to Denmark.

The advertisements, published in Arabic and English, detail Denmark’s new strict laws regarding refugees and explain why the country could be an undesirable destination for them, U.S. daily The Washington Post reported.

The adverts refer to recent legislation by the government, cutting social benefits for newly arrived refugees by 50 percent. It also goes onto say foreigners that are allowed a temporary stay in Denmark cannot bring in family members living abroad.

“Foreign nationals granted temporary protection in Denmark will not have the right to bring family members to Denmark during the first year,” said the commercials, placed by Denmark’s Ministry of Immigration, Integration & Housing.

The move seems to reflect the tough stance Denmark’s new right-leaning government has taken on immigration laws. It also highlights the divisions on how European countries are trying to handle the migrant crisis.

Denmark’s stance seems to sharply contradict that of Germany, Sweden, Greece and the UK, where governments have pledged to take in more refugees feeling conflict areas.

Some Danish politicians have said they are “ashamed” of the campaign.

“This must be the worst timing for an advert in the history of the world,” Uffe Elbaek, leader of Denmark’s leftwing Alternative party, said in a statement.

The Danish campaign comes days after the world was left outraged by the death of a Syrian child - Aylan - who drowned off the Turkish coast as he traveled with his father, mother and brother as they attempted to sail from Turkey having fled their war-torn country.

Pakistani Muslim Woman In Denmark Convicted of Burning Husband's Second Wife Alive

Islam in Denmark: Muslima's secret wife discovers her husband has also married his cousin from the U.S., burns her alive


Muslim immigration includes the importation of exotic and barbaric crimes. Modern family disputes within Islamic families often turn more cruel than anything we have seen in the West for hundreds of years. And though Islamic law sanctions polygamy, it cannot eradicate jealous rage from the human soul. Translated from Danish in Den Korte Avis: "Afghan woman burned to death":

Thirty-year-old Faruk Rooma, a Pakistani national, was sentenced to life imprisonment and deportation for life, while her two accomplices, her 19-year-old nephew, Aafaq Alam Khan and his friend, 17-year-old Noureddine El Yousfi, were sentenced to ten and seven years in prison.

All three appealed on the spot.

Because of the now-violent family of the now-convicted persons, the public hearings were held under heavy police protection....

On Friday, September 14 in the early afternoon, a woman and two young men broke into the apartment where the murder victim was home alone. While the two men held on to the terrified woman, the Pakistani woman doused her with gasoline and set a match to her.

During the explosive fire that occurred, the now two convicted young men succeeded in getting out of the apartment, while the Pakistani woman had to jump out of a window with her dress in flames. She was in an unconscious state and was admitted to a hospital with severe injuries and burns on her arms.

During the hearings, the now lifetime convict and deportee Faruk Rooma stated that since May 2001, she had been secretly married to the murdered woman's husband.

The marriage had taken place in a parking lot in Ringsted, where an imam married them. The man's family was not allowed to know anything about marriage, and she was furious and had a shock when on June 22, following his family's orders, he suddenly married his cousin from the U.S.

'The bullet flew past my ear': Danish anti-Islam writer, 70, narrowly survives doorstep assassination attempt

You've all heard the phrase, "dodged a bullet" but in the case of a Danish writer who has long stood up against Islam in his life, that isn't a phrase but an accurate description of his near miss at being murdered by an outraged Muslim SOB.

The story comes from The Daily Mail via The Religion of Peace.

'The bullet flew past my ear': Danish anti-Islam writer, 70, narrowly survives doorstep assassination attempt

A writer and outspoken critic of Islam narrowly escaped being shot dead after he opened his door to a would-be assassin posing as a delivery man at his home in Denmark.

The gunman rang the doorbell of 70-year-old Lars Hedegaard's apartment in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, under the pretext of delivering a parcel, but when the writer opened his front door the hitman pulled out a weapon and fired a shot that just missed Mr Hedegaard's head.

According to Mr Hedegaard, who described how the bullet 'flew past' his right ear, said the sniper fled after the writer punched him in the face causing him to drop his gun.

Mr Hedegaard, who heads up a group that claims press freedom is under threat from Islam, said the attack had left him shaken but not injured.

Police in Copenhagen confirmed they were searching for the suspect, described as a 'foreign' man aged between 20 and 25.

Mr Hedegaard said of the shock attack: 'The bullet flew past my right ear, after which I attacked him and punched him in the face, which made him lose the gun.'

The gunman then fled the scene, he said.

Hedegaard heads the Free Press Society in Denmark and its international offshoot, the International Free Press Society. He is also among the publishers of a weekly anti-Islam newsletter.

In April 2012 he was acquitted of hate speech over a series of statements about Muslims.

Denmark's Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt condemned what she called a 'despicable' act.

'It is even worse if the attack is rooted in an attempt to prevent Lars Hedegaard to use his freedom of expression,' she said.

Mr Hedegaard has expressed support for a range of outspoken critics of Islam in Europe, including Swedish artist Lars Vilks and Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders.

'Failed attack on my friend and Islam critic Lars Hedegaard in Denmark this morning. My thoughts are with him. Terrible,' Wilders posted on Twitter.

The Free Press Society said it was 'shaken and angry', but 'relieved that the perpetrator did not succeed'.

Several Scandinavian writers, artists and journalists have been exposed to threats and violence from extremists since the 2005 publication of Danish newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad triggered an uproar in Muslim countries.

Many Muslims believe the prophet should not be depicted at all - even in a flattering way - because it might encourage idolatry

In 2010, a Somali man living in Denmark used an axe to break into the home of one of the cartoonists, who escaped unharmed by locking himself into a panic room.

Last year, four Swedish residents were convicted of terrorism in Denmark for plotting a shooting spree at the newspaper that first published the Muhammad caricatures.

In Sweden, Vilks has lived under police protection after a drawing he made depicting Muhammad as a dog led to death threats from militant Islamists.

Trial Begins in Denmark For Four Jihadis Who Plotted Danish Cartoon Retaliatory Terror Attack

Four Muslims, who invaded Sweden in various forms of immigration, began their trial in Denmark for plotting a Mumbai-style terror attack on the newspaper offices in Copenhagen - the same paper that published the Danish "Mo cartoons."

From the article at DAWN:

Four men went on trial in Denmark on Friday accused of plotting a “Mumbai-style” attack on the offices of a Danish newspaper whose publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in 2005 outraged many Muslims.

The three Swedish citizens and one Tunisian pleaded not guilty to charges of terrorism and three of the four pleaded not guilty to illegal possession of weapons. Prosecutors have said they could face life sentences if found guilty.

They are accused of plotting to kill a large number of people in an armed attack on the offices of the daily Jyllands-Posten in Copenhagen’s Town Hall square at the end of 2010 and with trying to terrify the population.

“It is our perception that an unknown number of people were to be killed by shooting,” chief prosecutor Gyrithe Ulrich told TV2 News outside the courthouse before the trial began.

Standing trial are Mounir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, a Tunisian citizen, and three Swedish citizens – Lebanese-born Munir Awad, Omar Abdalla Aboelazm, born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and an Egyptian father, and Sahbi Ben Mohamed Zalouti, of Tunisian origin.

All four were living in Sweden at the time of their arrest in December 2010, three days before the alleged attack was to have been carried out.

This is an important trial in that it showcases just what has been going on in Europe...the fact that these are all basically home-grown Islamic terroists - these weren't Pakistani terrorists stealing into India under the cover of darkness to kill Jews and Hindus...these were Swedes, Islamic allbeit, who were planning this. Europeans are at the point where they have to watch all of the people in their country as well as from neighboring countries. And the fact of the matter is that the islamists have been living in these countries in Europe for just this kind of action - to kill and continue the terror which they hope brings them dominance.

Four on trial in Denmark over Mohammad (PBUH) cartoons plot


DENMARK: Four men went on trial in Denmark on Friday accused of plotting a “Mumbai-style” attack on the offices of a Danish newspaper whose publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in 2005 outraged many Muslims.

The three Swedish citizens and one Tunisian pleaded not guilty to charges of terrorism and three of the four pleaded not guilty to illegal possession of weapons. Prosecutors have said they could face life sentences if found guilty.

They are accused of plotting to kill a large number of people in an armed attack on the offices of the daily Jyllands-Posten in Copenhagen’s Town Hall square at the end of 2010 and with trying to terrify the population.

“It is our perception that an unknown number of people were to be killed by shooting,” chief prosecutor Gyrithe Ulrich told TV2 News outside the courthouse before the trial began.

Standing trial are Mounir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, a Tunisian citizen, and three Swedish citizens – Lebanese-born Munir Awad, Omar Abdalla Aboelazm, born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and an Egyptian father, and Sahbi Ben Mohamed Zalouti, of Tunisian origin.

All four were living in Sweden at the time of their arrest in December 2010, three days before the alleged attack was to have been carried out.

Awad and Zalouti entered the courtroom wearing handcuffs, while Aboelazm and Dhahri had their hands free.

When the judge entered the courtroom, Zalouti rose to his feet only after being urged to do so by his lawyer, the three others stood without prompting.

All four pleaded not guilty to the main charge of terrorism, but Dhari pleaded guilty to illegal possession of weapons.

Senior prosecutor Henrik Plaehn showed the court a large automatic pistol, which police have said was found in a car rented by the defendants, and plastic strips which police have said could have been used as handcuffs.

Zalouti’s lawyer asked Plaehn to point the gun at the floor, and not wave it around in the air.

Denmark’s state security police (PET) have said the attack was meant to be like the 2008 shooting spree in Mumbai, when 10 Pakistani gunmen killed 166 people in a three-day coordinated assault on city landmarks, including two hotels and a Jewish centre.

The PET said the men belonged to a militant religious group and had links to international terrorist networks.

Jyllands-Posten was the paper that first published a dozen cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), provoking protests in 2006 against Danish interests abroad and riots in countries from the Middle East and Africa to Asia in which at least 50 people died.

The trial continues and a verdict is expected shortly after it ends around June 15.

Denmark Votes In the Leftists...Welcome Back Bankruptcy, More Islamic Immigration, and Multi-Culturalism

It's hard to believe that in Europe, where you have seen nearly the entire continent's countries economies decimated by decades of socialistic government, we would see a country like Denmark decide to go back to the land of Engel and Marx, but it's true - the Leftists in Denmark have won the last election and will see their first female Prime Minister take over.

It will be interesting. Now we literally get to watch the Danish people become the slaves to radical islam that the British have become...we will see Denmark join the ranks of Greece while they panhandle on the world stage for monetary charity... we will see Danish women locked up in their homes while the streets are controlled by Muslim gangs.

Good job, Denmark. Don't come knocking on my fucking door in a year when its all gone to hell.

This just goes to show you how in nearly every country on this planet, the sinister side of the Left can alter a country's direction...for the worse. Mark my words....Denmark will totally unravel...you will see islamic demonstrations every day on the streets of Copenhagen and you will see this Prime Minister bitch appease and appease and appease. Welcome to "Hope and Change", Denmark - you'll curse the bloody day you did this.

Holger Danske is not stirring...he's looking for a one way ticket out of Denmark.

Denmark to get 1st female PM after left wins vote


COPENHAGEN: Denmark has elected its first female prime minister, ousting the right-wing government from power after 10 years of pro-market reforms and ever-stricter controls on immigration.

Near complete official results showed Thursday that a left-leaning bloc led by Social Democrat Helle Thorning-Schmidt would gain a narrow majority in the 179-seat Parliament.

”We did it. Make no mistake: We have written history,” the 44-year-old opposition leader told jubilant supporters in Copenhagen. ”Today there’s a change of guards in Denmark.”

Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen conceded defeat, saying he would present his Cabinet’s resignation Friday to Queen Margrethe, Denmark’s figurehead monarch.

”So tonight I hand over the keys to the prime minister’s office to Helle Thorning-Schmidt. And dear Helle, take good care of them. You’re only borrowing them,” Loekke Rasmussen said.

The result means the country of 5.5 million residents will get a new government that could roll back some of the austerity measures introduced by Loekke Rasmussen amid Europe’s debt crisis.

A majority for the ”red bloc” also deprives the anti-immigration Danish People’s Party of the kingmaker role it has used to tighten Denmark’s borders and stem the flow of asylum-seekers.

The opposition won 89 of the mainland seats compared to 86 for the governing coalition, according to preliminary results with 100 per cent of votes counted. The ”red bloc” was expected to win at least two of the four seats allocated to the semiautonomous territories of Greenland and the Faeroe Islands.

A power shift isn’t likely to yield major changes in consensus-oriented Denmark, where there is broad agreement on the need for a robust welfare system financed by high taxes.

But the two sides differ on the depth of austerity measures needed to keep Denmark’s finances intact amid the uncertainty of the global economy.

Thorning-Schmidt wants to protect the welfare system by raising taxes on the rich and extending the average working day by 12 minutes.

Loekke Rasmussen, 47, says tax hikes would harm the competitiveness of a nation that already has the highest tax pressure in the world.

”We need sound public finances without raising taxes,” he told reporters after casting his ballot in Graested, north of Copenhagen.

His centre-right Liberal Party gained one seat and remains the biggest party in Parliament with 47 seats, but its conservative partner lost 10 seats, the official results showed. The Danish People’s Party, which backed the minority government in Parliament in return for a say on its policies, dropped three seats to 22.

The Social Democrats dropped one seat to 44, while other parties in the ”red bloc” advanced, including the centrist Social Liberals, which gained eight to 17.

Thorning-Schmidt said she would start government formation talks Friday with the Social Liberals and the left-wing Socialist People’s Party. That coalition can also count on the support of a far-left party, the Red-Green Alliance, which tripled their seats to 12.

Turnout was 87.7 per cent, up from 86.5 four years ago.

Loekke Rasmussen took credit for steering Denmark through the financial crisis in better shape than many other European countries. However, the rebound has been slower than in neighbouring Nordic nations and the government projects budget deficits of 3.8 per cent of gross domestic product in 2011 and 4.6 per cent in 2012.

Although Denmark isn’t part of the debt-ridden eurozone, its currency is pegged to the euro and the country’s export-driven economy is affected by shocks from Europe and beyond.

The government’s reforms include gradually raising the retirement age by two years to 67 by 2020 and trimming benefit periods for early retirement and unemployment.

The economy emerged as the top election theme, to the chagrin of the Danish People’s Party, which has used its kingmaker role in previous elections to push through immigration laws that are among Europe’s toughest.

Thorning-Schmidt isn’t likely to make any major changes to those laws, but she’s promised to overhaul a system of beefed-up customs controls at borders with Germany and Sweden, which critics say violates the spirit of EU agreements on the free movement of people and goods.

Somali Pirate Chief Offers To Release Hostage Danish Family....If They Give Him Their 13 Yr Old Daughter In Marriage

Marry me? 13-year-old Naja Johansen, third from left, is wanted as the wife of a Somali pirate chief

More than a month ago a Danish family, the Johansens, were taken hostage by islamic Somali pirates and when a reporter was allowed onto the scene recently to do an interview and check on the family, the Somali pirate chief shared a new offer from the pirates for the release of the family...he has taken an "interest" in the 13 year old daughter and if she is given to him in marriage, he will release the rest of the family.

From the report at the Daily Mail:

Life can be lonely on the high seas and one pirate has decided enough is enough, it's about time he got himself a wife.

But the Somali pirate chief has taken a fancy to his 13-year-old Danish hostage - and he is so besotted with her he's willing to let the rest of her family go free, and even forget the $5million dollar ransom his pirate colleagues demanded.

According to The Times, the pirate made the bizarre proposal during a conversation with a Danish reporter, who visited the African nation to track down the Johansen family who were taken hostage in the Indian Ocean more than a month ago.

Now, in the article you'll read that some Danish psychologist thinks this wedding proposal is some sort of bargaining chip and is being put out there as only leverage for more ransom...I disagree, this sick fuck wants this girl. If I'm the father in this situation, as soon as that info was put out there, I am going to start my plotting for the killing of this Somali pirate chief.

This family deserves our prayers and quite frankly, if some Danish reporter can get this access to these Somali pirates, then I'd say a Danish special ops force should be able to do the same.

Somali pirate offers to release Danish family in exchange for hand of daughter, 13



Life can be lonely on the high seas and one pirate has decided enough is enough, it's about time he got himself a wife.

But the Somali pirate chief has taken a fancy to his 13-year-old Danish hostage - and he is so besotted with her he's willing to let the rest of her family go free, and even forget the $5million dollar ransom his pirate colleagues demanded.

According to The Times, the pirate made the bizarre proposal during a conversation with a Danish reporter, who visited the African nation to track down the Johansen family who were taken hostage in the Indian Ocean more than a month ago.

Jan Quist Johansen, his wife Birgit Marie Johansen, their sons Rune and Hjalte and their daughter Naja, were kidnapped along with their two crewmen.

Their yacht was hijacked in the Indian ocean 260 miles from the coast just weeks from completing the end of their two-year voyage. They have been trapped on board the previously hijacked MS Dover, along with 20 other hostages, since February 24.

The reporter, from the tabloid Ekstra Bladet, was not allowed to speak to the family, but he spoke to the chief pirate who apparently revealed his plans for a bride.

The terrifying proposal puts more pressure on the authorities and hostage negotiators to free the family.

If the Danes give me permission to marry the girl, I will free the rest without any condition,' Kristian Kornoe quoted the pirate chief as saying.

The reporter, who assumed the offer was never going to be accepted, said: 'The father, Jan, seemed completely exhausted, even ill.

'The rest of the family is tired and angry. The smell is unbearable ... it is hot, the water is filthy.'

Henrik Ljung, a senior Danish psychologist, said 'The offer of marriage was simply a way of applying psychological pressure, a show of force.

'It’s an extremely effective tool if you want to raise money.'

Somali pirate Abdullahi Mohamed said earlier this month the gang responsible for the kidnap would kill all seven hostages if any attempt was made to rescue them.

The family, from Kalundborg, 75 miles west of Copenhagen, were planning to enter the Mediterranean through the Suez canal from the Red Sea.

That route would take the family through the Gulf of Aden, one of the most dangerous waterways in the world in terms of piracy.

It is the first time children have been captured.

Two days before they were captured Americans Jean and Scott Adam and Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle were killed after their boats were seized by Somali pirates.

Jihadi Caught Breaking Into Home of Danish Cartoonist, Police Shoot and Wound Somali

Well, it's not like we didn't expect this to happen but it's a wonder how this guy got as close as he did. The cartoonist from Denmark who penned the infamous "Mohammed" cartoons that were then published in Danish newspapers, Kurt Westergaard, was at home tonight when a Somali jihadi with ties to al-Shabaab (the al Qaeda franchise in Somalia) tried to break into Westergaard's home wielding a knife and axe. Here's some of the details from CNN:

A Somali man believed to have time to terrorist groups was shot as he allegedly tried to enter the home of Danish political cartoonist Kurt Westergaard -- known for his controversial depictions of the Muslim prophet Mohammad -- on Saturday, police said.
The 27-year-old man, who was not identified, wielded an ax and a knife and cracked a window at Westergaard's home in Aarhus, said police spokesman Morten Jensen. A home alarm alerted police to the scene at 10 p.m., and they were attacked by the man, he said.
The officers shot the man in the right leg and left hand. He was hospitalized, but was not seriously injured, police said.
Danish intelligence officials said the suspect is connected to al-Shabaab, al Qaeda's ally in east Africa.
The incident "once again confirms the terrorist threat that is directed against Denmark and against cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, in particular," said Jakob Scharf, spokesman for the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, in a statement.

We all know what happend to Theo van Gogh. We all know about the 20 year old fatwa on Salman Rushdie. And we know how bad the jihadis want to kill Westergaard. Religion of tolerance and peace, right?

If every man who had ever insulted Christianity or Judaism had been marked for execution, you'd need to dig a pit for the bodies that measured the size of a football field.

Hopefully, they'll convict this piece of shit jihadi of attempted murder and sentence him to solitary confinement for life in a cell with a boar pig.

Somali shot after allegedly attempting to attack Danish cartoonist

(CNN) -- A Somali man believed to have time to terrorist groups was shot as he allegedly tried to enter the home of Danish political cartoonist Kurt Westergaard -- known for his controversial depictions of the Muslim prophet Mohammad -- on Saturday, police said.
The 27-year-old man, who was not identified, wielded an ax and a knife and cracked a window at Westergaard's home in Aarhus, said police spokesman Morten Jensen. A home alarm alerted police to the scene at 10 p.m., and they were attacked by the man, he said.
The officers shot the man in the right leg and left hand. He was hospitalized, but was not seriously injured, police said.
Danish intelligence officials said the suspect is connected to al-Shabaab, al Qaeda's ally in east Africa.
The incident "once again confirms the terrorist threat that is directed against Denmark and against cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, in particular," said Jakob Scharf, spokesman for the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, in a statement.
Westergaard's caricature of Mohammed -- which depicted the prophet wearing a bomb as a turban with a lit fuse -- sparked an uproar among Muslims in early 2006 after newspapers reprinted the images months later as a matter of free speech. The cartoon was first published by the Danish newspaper Morgenavisen Jullands-Posten in September 2005.
At the time, Westergaard said he wanted his cartoon to say that some people exploited the prophet to legitimize terror. However, many in the Muslim world interpreted the drawing as depicting their prophet as a terrorist.
Over the years, Danish authorities have arrested other suspects who allegedly plotted against Westergaard's life.
After three such arrests were made in February 2008, Westergaard issued a statement, saying, "Of course I fear for my life after the Danish Security and Intelligence Service informed me of the concrete plans of certain people to kill me. However, I have turned fear into anger and indignation. It has made me angry that a perfectly normal everyday activity which I used to do by the thousand was abused to set off such madness."
Scharf said authorities have taken measures to ensure Westergaard's safety, and that the protection has "proven effective."

Who Were The Chicago Terrorists, Plotting To Strike The Danish Newspaper, In League With?

This really is a fascinating piece over at The Long War Journal that shows that the two Americans charged with a terror plot to attack the newspaper in Denmark that published the Mohammed cartoons, were well aligned with al Qaeda and Pakistani terror groups.

A bit from the article:

Chicago natives David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana have been charged in federal court with plotting to conduct attacks against a newspaper in Denmark, according to a criminal complaint that was unsealed today at the US District Court in Chicago. Headley was in contact with al Qaeda commander Ilyas Kashmiri and two unnamed Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives.

The operation was called the "Mickey Mouse Project," and, according to a senior US intelligence official contacted by The Long War Journal, the plot involved "assault teams" assigned to attack the headquarters of Jyllands-Posten and kill the staff. Further arrests in Denmark related to the plot are expected.
The attacks were to be "modeled" on the November 2008 assault in Mumbai and the attacks on police centers in Lahore and the Pakistani Army General Headquarters in Rawalpindi this month, the official said.

Now, before you start scratching your head as to why a guy with a nice Christian name like "David Coleman Headley" would be involved in a terror plot against a newspaper that "insulted" islam, this fool changed his name awhile back - his real name is Daood Gilani.

While the connections that these two had to islamic terrorists in Pakistan is startling, one of the most disconcerning aspects of all of this is the patience these terrorists have - imagine, the Mohammed cartoons were printed by this Danish newspaper FOUR YEARS AGO! Kind of makes you wonder if next week we might see an attack take place on Salman Rushdie. Which begs to the point that islamic terrorists never go away...they never fade away....your only choice is to hunt them down and kill them.

Kashmiri, Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives aided 2 Americans in foiled Danish terror plot

Two American citizens who have been indicted for plotting terror attacks overseas have direct connections to a senior al Qaeda commander and two Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives.
Chicago natives David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana have been charged in federal court with plotting to conduct attacks against a newspaper in Denmark, according to a criminal complaint that was unsealed today at the US District Court in Chicago. Headley was in contact with al Qaeda commander Ilyas Kashmiri and two unnamed Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives.
Headley, who changed his name from Daood Gilani in 2006, was detained on Oct. 3 after he attempted to travel to Pakistan. Headley has been charged with "one count of conspiracy to commit terrorist acts involving murder and maiming outside the United States and one count of conspiracy to provide material support to that overseas terrorism conspiracy," according to a press release written by the US Department of Justice.
Rana, a Canadian citizen from Pakistan, was detained on Oct. 18. Rana was was charged with "one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorism conspiracy that involved Headley and at least three other specific individuals in Pakistan."
Both Headley and Rana have been plotting to attack "facilities and employees of Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten," the Danish newspaper that published controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2005. The publication of the cartoons sparked violence and protest. The Taliban in Afghanistan have vowed to conduct retaliatory attacks in Denmark and Europe after the publication of the cartoons.
The operation was called the "Mickey Mouse Project," and, according to a senior US intelligence official contacted by The Long War Journal, the plot involved "assault teams" assigned to attack the headquarters of Jyllands-Posten and kill the staff. Further arrests in Denmark related to the plot are expected.
The attacks were to be "modeled" on the November 2008 assault in Mumbai and the attacks on police centers in Lahore and the Pakistani Army General Headquarters in Rawalpindi this month, the official said. Kashmiri is known to have played a role in these attacks; he was a commando in Pakistan's army and for years has trained jihadi groups from Kashmir and other allied groups to conduct military operations.
Headley communicated with Ilyas Kashmiri and Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives
Headley began plotting the attack against Jyllands-Posten in October 2008 after posting a message expressing his desire to avenge the perceived slight against Islam and Mohammed. "I feel disposed towards violence for the offending parties," Headley wrote at "abdalians" forum, an internet group for graduates of a Pakistani military school.
By late 2008, Headley was in touch with a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative "who has substantial influence and responsibility within the organization and whose identity is known to the government" and another operative with close connections to Kashmiri. The first Lashkar operative was detained by Pakistan during the summer of 2009, and released later.
Headley traveled to Pakistan as well as Copenhagen and other locations in Europe several times, using Rana's business as a cover. He even visited Miramshah in South Waziristan, the headquarters of the notorious Haqqani Network, al Qaeda's biggest ally among the Taliban, where he claimed he met Kashmiri. He remained in contact with the Lashkar operatives and received direction to focus on the Denmark attack. Headley's contact with Kashmiri was directed through one of the Lashkar operatives.
The reported death of Kashmiri in mid-September put Headley in a panic, according to the criminal complaint. Kashmiri was thought to have been killed in a US airstrike in North Waziristan on Sept. 14. On Sept. 21, Headley found out Kashmiri was alive, and made arrangements to meet him and the Lashkar operative during his planned trip to Pakistan in October.
Arrests highlight the extent of al Qaeda and allied movements' reach
US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal said that the detention of Headley and Rana show how al Qaeda and allied jihadist movements cooperate to achieve the same goals.
"This case shows you how al Qaeda is operating in Pakistan," a senior military intelligence official said. "You have the HuJI chief [Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami leader Kashmiri] working with Lashkar-e-Taiba commanders while based in North Waziristan allocating resources for an attack in Denmark that is being facilitated through the US."
"This is why we call it AQAM," the abbreviation for al Qaeda and allied movements, a term used in US military and intelligence circles. "At times their planning, allocation of resources, and operations are indistinguishable. Their goals are identical; they want to hit us here as well as carve out their caliphate there."
Kashmiri was brought into the "Mickey Mouse" plot to "impart his military knowledge" on the team that was to carry out the assault, an official said.
Some officials believe that al Qaeda got too fancy for the Denmark plot by working through US operatives.
"They [al Qaeda] want to show they can use the US as a base to attack other countries," the official said. "They were too clever by half."
Background on Ilyas Kashmiri
Ilyas Kashmiri is considered by US intelligence to be one of al Qaeda's most dangerous commanders. He served as the operational chief of the Harkat-ul Jihad Islami, an al Qaeda-linked terror group that operates in Pakistan, Kashmir, India, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Kashmiri was recently listed as the fourth most wanted terrorist by Pakistan's Interior Ministry.
Kashmiri is now serving as the "acting chairman of the military committee as Saif al Adel has moved up the ranks," a senior official told The Long War Journal.
Kashmiri is thought to have played a major role in the multi-pronged suicide attack against government and security installations in the eastern Afghan province of Khost in May, the military intelligence official said.
Last year, Kashmiri reportedly drafted a plan to assassinate General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani, Pakistan's top military officer, but the plan was canceled by al Qaeda's senior leadership, according to a report in the Asia Times.
Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, Laskhar-e-Jhangvi, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and several other Pakistani terror groups have merged with al Qaeda in Pakistan, and operate under the name of Brigade 313. This group is interlinked with Pakistan's Taliban and also recruits senior members of Pakistan's military and intelligence services, a senior US official told The Long War Journal.
Brigade 313 has been behind many of the high-profile attacks and bombings inside Pakistan, including multiple assassination attempts against former President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Gilani. Brigade 313 is one of the six known units in the Lashkar al Zil, al Qaeda's paramilitary Shadow Army.
Kashmiri is also a longtime asset of Pakistan's military and intelligence services. He served as a commando in the elite Special Services Group (SSG), Pakistan's special operations unit trained by Britain's Special Air Service. In the early 1990s, Kashmiri was ordered by the military to join the Harkat-ul Jihad Islami, and later he was urged to join the Jaish-e-Mohammed, which he refused to do.
Kashmiri reportedly dropped out of favor with the military after refusing the military's suggestion to join Jaish-e-Mohammed. In 2003 he was arrested after being accused of involvement in the assassination attempts against then-President Musharraf, and was later released. After the 2007 Pakistani Army assault on the radical Lal Masjid in Islamabad, he set up camp in Ramzak in North Waziristan, and was joined by several Pakistani Army military officers. Kashmiri is widely thought to have maintained his links with the radical elements in Pakistan's military and intelligence services throughout his time operating with jihadi groups.
Kashmiri was behind the assassination of Major General Faisal Alvi, the retired commander of the SSG, in Rawalpindi in late 2008. Alvi was killed just months after sending a letter to General Kiyani. In the letter, Alvi accused two generals of forcing his retirement. According to The Times Online, Alvi said he was forced to retire after threatening to expose the two generals' involvement with the Taliban.
Kashmiri is on the record as swearing allegiance to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar as far back as 1999.
"[W]e folks have taken oath from Mullah Omar and we consider him as Ameerul Momineen [the leader of the faithful]," Kashmiri told a Pakistani reporter a decade ago. "We have absolute permission from him to go to any place and engage ourselves in jihadi activities."

Three Danish Soldiers Killed In IED Attack In Afghanistan

Three Danish soldiers were killed in a roadside IED on Friday in Afghanistan - the details of that are here at Reuters:

Three Danish soldiers were killed and one was wounded on Friday when their armored vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb or mine in Helmand province in south-west Afghanistan, the Danish Army Central Command said.
Their vehicle was traveling north of the town of Gereshk in a supply column when it was struck, the army said.

This latest IED attack is more proof of the upswing in the use of the IED strategy by the Taliban in Afghanistan. We certainly don't need a reminder of how the IED strategy by al Qaeda in Iraq nearly won the War in Iraq for the terrorist group because of its effectiveness. Now, in Afghanistan, the Taliban have the luxury of such a vast land that the chances of laying down hundreds of these roadside bombs without be spotted is very high. I do, however, want to remind everyone of what Secretary of Defense Gates said a few months ago when he pointed out a new strategy of using more and more UAV predator drones in Afghanistan - that will truly help in detected the IED crews from the Taliban.

But the facts are not good here - the Taliban are going to get more and more sophisticated IED's and we are going to see more and more NATO troops being killed by them. Finally, with the War in Iraq simply fading away with the U.S. victory there, this Afghanistan War is going to be like a HUGE magnet for the world's worst jihadists - I don't mean to be a pessimist but we are going to see some horrific NATO losses.

Three Danish soldiers killed in Afghanistan

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Three Danish soldiers were killed and one was wounded on Friday when their armored vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb or mine in Helmand province in south-west Afghanistan, the Danish Army Central Command said.
Their vehicle was traveling north of the town of Gereshk in a supply column when it was struck, the army said.
The injured soldier has been evacuated to a field hospital.
Two Danes were killed earlier this month in fighting.
Denmark has about 700 combat troops in Afghanistan. Seventeen have died in combat so far and three others were killed while trying to dismantle a mine.

Two Jihadists Convicted In Denmark For Plotting Terror Attack

These arrests happened last year and with the trial concluded, two terrorists in Denmark have been found guilty of plotting and preparing a terror attack. One is a Danish citizen of Pakistani origin, the other is an Afghan. Here are some of the details out of the AP:

Two men who were secretly filmed mixing the type of explosive used in the 2005 London transit bombing were convicted on Tuesday of preparing a terrorist attack.
Hammad Khuershid, a Danish citizen of Pakistani origin, and Abdoulghani Tokhi, an Afghan, were arrested in an anti-terror sweep last year after Danish agents filmed them conducting a small test blast with triacetone triperoxide, which was used by the suicide bombers who killed 52 British commuters.
During the trial, prosecutors said Khuershid had links to an al-Qaida operative. The prosecutors said it was not clear whether Khuershid and Tokhi were preparing an attack in Denmark or abroad. Denmark has repeatedly been threatened by Islamic extremists after the uproar triggered by cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that were first published in Danish newspapers in 2005.
Investigators found handwritten bomb-making manuals in the men's homes that prosecutors said Khuershid had copied at the pro-Taliban Red Mosque in Islamabad.
They said he also had spent time in the Pakistani region of Waziristan, a militant stronghold near the Afghan border. Khuershid has admitted he was in Waziristan, but denies receiving any military training.

The article mentions that the investigators weren't sure if the plot was for an attack in Denmark or outside of the country, but I have to believe with all of the furor over the Danish cartoons, that if these two got as far as they did inside of Denmark, they would want to strike IN Denmark.

Which brings me to the point that it truly is amazing to me just how many of these plots are being uncovered before they happen - worldwide these plots are being discovered. I'm not positive if it is due to superior intelligence, dumb luck, stupidity on the jihadists' part or a combination of all of those.

And for those of you who doubt the dhimmification of Europe, even in the likes of Denmark, look at this passage from the article:

The pair could face life in prison, although such sentences are generally reduced to 16 years under Danish law. No date was immediately set for sentencing.

So, these two scumbags can plot to kill hundreds of people and walk out of prison in 16 years??!!! I think most of you who come here regularly can guess what my sentencing of these two would entail.

2 convicted in Denmark of preparing terror attack

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Two men who were secretly filmed mixing the type of explosive used in the 2005 London transit bombing were convicted on Tuesday of preparing a terrorist attack.
Hammad Khuershid, a Danish citizen of Pakistani origin, and Abdoulghani Tokhi, an Afghan, were arrested in an anti-terror sweep last year after Danish agents filmed them conducting a small test blast with triacetone triperoxide, which was used by the suicide bombers who killed 52 British commuters.
During the trial, prosecutors said Khuershid had links to an al-Qaida operative. The prosecutors said it was not clear whether Khuershid and Tokhi were preparing an attack in Denmark or abroad. Denmark has repeatedly been threatened by Islamic extremists after the uproar triggered by cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that were first published in Danish newspapers in 2005.
Investigators found handwritten bomb-making manuals in the men's homes that prosecutors said Khuershid had copied at the pro-Taliban Red Mosque in Islamabad.
They said he also had spent time in the Pakistani region of Waziristan, a militant stronghold near the Afghan border. Khuershid has admitted he was in Waziristan, but denies receiving any military training.
Khuershid and Tokhi had pleaded innocent and said the explosive was to be used for fireworks. They sat motionless as the City Court in Glostrup, on the outskirts of Copenhagen, handed down the guilty verdict. It was not immediately clear whether they would appeal.
The pair could face life in prison, although such sentences are generally reduced to 16 years under Danish law. No date was immediately set for sentencing.
Denmark's PET security police put the men under surveillance after receiving a tip from a foreign intelligence agency. PET agents monitored their phone and computer communication and installed video cameras in Khuershid's home.
One surveillance video, played in court, showed the men mixing and testing a very small amount of triacetone triperoxide, or TATP.
They were arrested in the Copenhagen area in September 2007. Denmark's intelligence service said at the time that the suspects were Islamic militants with direct links to leading al-Qaida figures.
Danish police say they have thwarted a series of terrorist attacks in recent years.
In November 2007, a Palestinian immigrant, an Iraqi Kurd and a Danish convert to Islam were found guilty of plotting a bomb attack on an unidentified target and sentenced up to 11 years in prison. In February, 2007, a Danish court convicted a 17-year-old man of involvement in a terror plot uncovered in Bosnia in October 2005.
A suicide bombing at the Danish Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, killed six people in June. A statement attributed to al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attack.

Two Danish Soldiers Killed In Afghanistan Suicide Bombing

Well, the Taliban had promised more and more suicide bombings this year and they appear to be keeping their word - the first Danish troop deaths attributed to suicide bombing occured today occcured in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan with two Danish troops killed. Actually, this is pretty amazing that these are the first two Danish troops deaths attributed to suicide bombing, since the Danes have been segregated to southern Afghanistan where the majority of the fighting has been centered.
Three Afghan civilians were also killed in the bombing and one Dane soldier was injured.

Here's the full story at Brietbart.

Bomb Attack Kills 2 Danish Soldiers

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - A suicide car bomber killed two Danish soldiers and three Afghan civilians in southern Afghanistan on Monday, officials said.
The Danish army said two of its soldiers were killed in the attack in the Gereshk district of Helmand province. One soldier was also wounded.
Provincial police chief Mohammad Hussein Andiwal said the strike also killed three Afghans and wounded seven.
Maj. Gen. Poul Kiaerskou, head of the Danish Army Operational Command, said the Danes were part of a unit that had just arrived at a bazaar when "presumably" a suicide bomber killed them.
"It is incredibly tragic that our fight for peace and democracy again should cost human lives," said Pia Kjaersgaard, the leader of the nationalist and populist Danish People's Party, which is a key government ally.
The suicide attack came a day after a Danish soldier was wounded while on a patrol in the same region. The Danish unit was attacked with handguns and rockets, the Danish Army Operational Command said.
The two deaths from Monday's suicide attack would mark the first Danes killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan. Denmark has 600 troops in Afghanistan serving under NATO's International Security Assistance Force.
Militants set off 160 suicide bomb attacks in Afghanistan last year, a record number, according to the United Nations. More than 8,000 people died from insurgency related violence, the U.N. reported.

Denmark Makes Arrests in Cartoonist Murder Plot

The Danes have made several arrests in regards to a murder plot directed one of the originators of the now infamouse Danish Mohammed cartoons. There are very few details but I highly doubt that the arrested have last names of Swenssen or Kierkegaard.
Since there are some 12 cartoonists that worked on the Mo cartoons, I'd say that Danish security forces will be busy for quite some time.
I'm sure the arrested will defiantly state that they must uphold the sanctity of the prophet pediophile by doing what the likes of Mo loved best - kill people.

Here's the brief report from YNET.

Arrests made in Denmark in cartoonist murder plot

Several people were arrested in Denmark on Tuesday in connection with a plot to murder one of the 12 cartoonists whose drawings of the Prophet Mohammad caused worldwide uproar in 2006, Danish media said.

According to Jyllands-Posten, the newspaper that originally published the cartoons in September 2005, the suspects are accused of planning to kill 73-year-old Kurt Westergaard. He drew the cartoon that caused the most controversy, depicting Mohammad with a bomb in his turban. Reuters)
