Guardian fortæller en typisk vesteuropæisk historie

If there were a general election tomorrow, 35% of voting Muslims (meaning those Muslims who claim they are more likely than not to vote) would vote Labour. This compares with 22% of voting Christians and 23% of the entire voting population. By comparison, whereas 30% of the voting population would tick the Conservative box, only 13% of voting Muslims would do so.

Polling questions are liable to misinterpretation so the same question was tackled from different angles. The results concurred. Only one in 20 of those who call themselves Muslim say that they “generally” consider themselves to be Conservative compared, with 42% who consider themselves Labour (the national figures are 23% Conservative and 28% Labour). Similarly, 49% of Muslims claim they feel that the Labour party has been most friendly towards the Muslim faith over recent years, compared with 6% who think that the Conservatives have been.

The narrative appears to receive a dent when data show that a fifth of Muslims think Labour has been least friendly towards the Muslim faith over recent years. However, given that more Muslims (nearly a quarter) think the Conservatives have been the least friendly party, despite the fact they haven’t really been in a position to do anything, the dent appears illusory. In spite of everything, Labour appears to remain the natural home for British Muslims.

The Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) — which believes in jihad and sharia law, and wants to turn Britain and Europe into an Islamic state — has placed sympathisers in elected office and claims, correctly, to be able to achieve “mass mobilisation” of voters.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Jim Fitzpatrick, the Environment Minister, said the IFE had become, in effect, a secret party within Labour and other political parties.

“They are acting almost as an entryist organisation, placing people within the political parties, recruiting members to those political parties, trying to get individuals selected and elected so they can exercise political influence and power, whether it’s at local government level or national level,” he said.

“They are completely at odds with Labour’s programme, with our support for secularism.”

Mr Fitzpatrick, the MP for Poplar and Canning Town, said the IFE had infiltrated and “corrupted” his party in east London in the same way that the far-Left Militant Tendency did in the 1980s. Leaked Labour lists show a 110 per cent rise in party membership in one constituency in two years.

In a six-month investigation by this newspaper and Channel 4’s Dispatches, involving weeks of covert filming by the programme’s reporters:

• IFE activists boasted to the undercover reporters that they had already “consolidated … a lot of influence and power” over Tower Hamlets, a London borough council with a £1 billion budget.
• We have established that the group and its allies were awarded more than £10 million of taxpayers’ money, much of it from government funds designed to “prevent violent extremism”.
• IFE leaders were recorded expressing opposition to democracy, support for sharia law or mocking black people. The IFE organised meetings with extremists, including Taliban allies, a man named by the US government as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and a man under investigation by the FBI for his links to the September 11 attacks.
• Moderate Muslims in London told how the IFE and its allies were enforcing their hardline views on the rest of the local community, curbing behaviour they deemed “un-Islamic”. The owner of a dating agency received a threatening email from an IFE activist, warning her to close it.
• George Galloway, a London MP, admitted in recordings obtained by this newspaper that his surprise victory in the 2005 election owed more to the IFE “than it would be wise – for them – for me to say, adding that they played a “decisive role” in his triumph at the polls.

Mr Galloway now says they were one of many groups which supported his anti-war stance and had never sought to influence him.

Hvorledes gik det dog til at lige netop Labour er udsat for dette? Fra Daily Mail

Labour encouraged mass immigration even though it knew that voters opposed it, Whitehall documents confirmed yesterday.

The Government said the public disagreed with immigration because of ‘racism’ and ministers were told to try to alter public attitudes.

The thinking on immigration among Labour leaders was set down in 2000 in a document prepared for the Cabinet Office and the Home Office, but the key passages were suppressed before it was published.

The paper was finally disclosed under freedom of information rules yesterday. It showed that ministers were advised that only the ill-educated and those who had never met a migrant were opposed to immigration.

They were also told that large-scale immigration would bring increases in crime, but they concealed these concerns from the public.

Sections of the paper, which underpinned Labour policies that admitted between two and three million immigrants to Britain in less than a decade, have already been made public.

These have showed that Labour aimed to use immigration not only for economic reasons but also to change the social make-up of the country.

Fuller details released yesterday showed that Tony Blair’s ministers opened the doors to mass migration in knowledge of public opposition and with the view that those who disagreed with them were racists.

Labour’s accusation that opponents of immigration are racist has been dropped over the last two years as it has become clear that former Labour voters in party heartlands have been turning to the far right British National Party.

Ministers accept there is frustration at the loss of jobs to migrants and pressure on public services.

Yesterday Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: ‘The Government has simply not been telling the truth about its policies on immigration.

‘More and more evidence is now emerging to show that they deliberately planned a big jump in immigration for their own political purposes.

Når man nærer slangen ved sit bryst. Men ikke det er en ganske typisk vesteuropæisk historie, hvor De Internationale med større eller mindre held har forsøgt det samme demografiske attentat på Nationen?

Britain’s violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it is revealed today.

Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world’s most dangerous countries.

Shariadomstole vinder frem i Storbritannien

En ny rapport viser, at der findes 85 muslimske domstole i Storbritannien. Forskeren bag rapporten advarer mod tendensen.

Britiske muslimers stigende brug af shariatribunaler risikerer at underminere retssikkerheden.

Det vurderer en ny rapport fra den britiske tænketank Civitas, der vurderer, at antallet af domstole eller tribunaler, der fungerer aktivt i Storbritannien, er på 85 og dermed langt højere end først antaget.

Shariadomstolene opererer oftest i forbindelse med moskeer og giver typisk britiske muslimer religiøs vejledning i sager om eksempelvis familieproblemer, skilsmisse og uenighed i pengesager.

Det to fænomener er ikke direkte forbundne, men har alligevel samme multikulturelle rod.

Sagen drejer sig i alt sin hæslighed om, at en pakistansk mor i Blackburn (England) har familiesammenført tre unge kvinder fra hjemlandet, som er blevet gift med kvindens tre sønner, som forresten er fætre til de unge kvinder. (Jeg skriver “blevet gift” da der ikke er tale om en frivillig kontrakt.) Kvinderne er blevet holdt som slaver af deres svigermor i flere perioder. Den længste varede fra 1993 til 2006. Svigermoderen Bibi er nu idømt syv års fængsel for bl.a. vold og indespærring af de omtalte kvinder. Halvdelen af dommen er dog betinget. Dommeren i sagen udtalte at kvinderne tydeligvis havde været udsat for fysiske og psykiske traumer. Kort sagt så har kvinderne levet en tilværelse bestående af tæsk i et miljø af konstant frygt.
Deres arbejde har bestået i at sy tøj 13 timer dagligt. Kvinderne har udtalt at de skulle arbejde dag og nat.
BBC har ikke fundet denne nyhed værdig til forsiden, men henvist den til lokalstoffet under regionen Lancashire.

Sagen er især interessant fordi den fortæller noget om hvordan multikulturen har vævet sig ind i det britiske samfund, og hvordan den baner vejen for groteske samfundsproblemer.

BBC, fredag 29 maj:

Slavery mother-in-law divides town

On the surface Naseebah Bibi did not appear to be an out-of-the-ordinary figure.

Often seen around her home town of Blackburn, she would wear a niqab while shopping for her family.

But behind closed doors the grandmother imprisoned her three daughters-in-law and used one as her slave for 13 years.

“Slaveridømt svigermor deler byen”: Overskriften er i sig selv afslørende og uheldig, idet denne sag om groft misbrug og slaveri åbenbart ikke er tilstrækkelig grusom til at samle byen om at fordømme de unge kvinders mishandling. Frem for at give indtryk af en tragedie, får man snarere opfattelsen af, at dele af Blackburn biliger eller sympatiserer med den dømte svigermor.
At fotoet så skal forestille ikke-noget-ud-over-det-sædvanlige, viser at BBC normalitetstærskel er sunket en hel del.

…

But to some women she is held in awe and, instead of anger, they pity her.

They blame her incarceration on her three victims who “clearly wanted revenge against this poor lady”.

Blackburn, with a population of 105,000 - of which nearly a quarter are Muslim Asian - is greatly divided when it comes to Bibi.

She was found guilty of falsely imprisoning Nagina Akhtar between 1993 and 2006, Tazeem Akhtar from 2001 to 2003 and Nisbah Akhtar between 2005 and 2007.

One of Naseebah Bibi’s daughters-in-law recalls her treatment

The three women, who cannot speak English, were married to her three sons, who were also their first cousins.

Preston Crown Court heard that the three women would be subjected to constant beatings and abuse and were made to sit behind a sewing machine for 13 hours a day.

Some Muslim women have said she was exploited by her three daughter-in-laws who came to the UK because they thought “money grew off trees”.

Ja, grådighed er noget værre noget.

One woman said: “I feel sorry for the elderly lady [Bibi], she has not been treated well and I think it is a clear case of revenge.”

Nas, a local community worker, said: “As a first generation Asian we have experienced these things first hand and I don’t think it’s enslavement.”

Shop owner Jamil, who knows the family, said he was shocked that this could happen to “such a nice family”.

But he condemned Bibi’s abusive actions, saying: “It’s acceptable to treat women like this in other countries but not in our country, in England no, it’s not acceptable.”

En vox populi hvor af to ud af tre udtrykker uforbeholden forståelse for slaveejeren, og hvor en tredje udtrykker en geografisk differentiering af retten til ikke at blive holdt som slave; er et eklatant nederlag for den multikulturelle vision. Sagen minder om på visse punkter om mishandlingen og drabet på den jødiske mand Ilan Halimi i Paris, fordi kidnapning og indespærring af voksne mennesker er særdeles vanskeligt at holde hemmeligt, med mindre man har en Fritzl-style fangekælder. Altså, så er det sansynligt, at lokalsamfundet har været vidende om forholdet omkring de tre kvinder. Den islamiske krig mod unge kvinder fortsætter, hvad enten det er i Beirut eller i Blackburn.

Artiklen fra BBC’s lokalstof vækker på ingen måde sympati med det muslimske lokalsamfund, hvilket foranlediger undertegnede til at tro at journalisten har holdt tungen lige i munden…

OG hvor slemt står det til i England? Fra Daily Mail

A Muslim who advised the Government following the July 7 London bombings has been arrested after an alleged stabbing.

Inayat Bunglawala, 39, was held on suspicion of attacking another man at his £300,000 home.

Mr Bunglawala, who also briefed former Security Minister Tony McNulty on the threat posed by Islamic radicals in the UK, was arrested two weeks before Christmas last year.

(…)Mr Bunglawala is one of the most prominent members of the Muslim Council of Britain, an organisation which advises the Government on extremism and counter-terrorism.

After the July 7 London bombings in 2005, he was one of seven Muslims appointed to a Home Office taskforce tackling radicalisation in the UK.

Last week, Mr Bunglawala was featured on the BBC and in many newspapers as the moderate ‘voice’ of British Islam after the Luton anti-war demonstrations.

Gad vide, hvornår disse to nationer formår at se et mønster?

Fra Berlingske Tidende

Den britiske regering har besluttet, at den hollandske politiker Geert Wilders, ikke må rejse ind i landet, da han ifølge regeringen udgør ”en reel, umiddelbar og tilstrækkelig alvorlig trussel, der berører en grundlæggende samfundsinteresse”, hvilket i henhold til EU-reglerne om fri bevægelighed kan begrunde afvisning af EU-borgere. Wilders er inviteret til at vise sin kontroversielle Fitna film for en række britiske parlamentsmedlemmer i det engelske Parlament. Den britiske beslutning om at afvise Geert Wilders er muligvis i i strid med EU-reglerne for fri bevægelighed. Det er således svært at se, at Wilders besøg skulle udgøre en alvorlig trussel mod en samfundsmæssig interesse. Wilders holdninger er således ikke forbudt i Storbritannien og han er (heldigvis endnu) ikke dømt i sit hjemland. Under alle omstændigheder er beslutningen endnu et sørgeligt eksempel på, i hvor høj grad den nuværende britiske regering er villig til at give køb på de grundlæggende rettigheder, som man med rette kunne forvente briterne var de fremmeste til at forsvare i Europa.

Og så videre. Jeg er helt enig med Mchangama. En unavngiven læser af Jyllands-Posten kommer med denne fine pointe

Islamofobi. Ordret oversat betyder det frygt for islam, og hvem er det egentligt, der i disse dage er mest bange for islam:

Den dødstruede Geert Wilders eller den engelske regering? Wilders erklærer åbent sin frygt for ortodoks islam og opfordrer muslimerne til at rive de voldsopfordrende koranvers ud af helligteksten. Han indrømmer, han er bange, men giver ikke efter for sin frygt.

Den engelske regering derimod indrømmer på intet tidspunkt, at frygt for islam skulle ligge bag indrejseforbuddet mod Wilders. Alligevel er det lige præcis frygt, der pibler ud mellem linjerne i begrundelsen for indrejseforbuddet: Hensynet til den offentlige sikkerhed, hedder det, nødvendiggør det uhørte indgreb mod Wilders.

Kommer Wilders, opstår der usikkerhed, så vil, må man formode, visse muslimer skabe ballade. Det er altså frygt for optøjer, der ligger bag suspensionen af frihedsrettighederne. Frygt, lad os nu bare sige det ligeud, for islamiske trusler. Men lige præcis dét siger den engelske regering ikke, ikke åbent.

Og Pittelkow ridser perspektiverne op ligeledes i Jyllands-Posten

En del mennesker i Europa med muslimsk baggrund har taget oplysningsværdierne til sig. Men et betydeligt antal er præget af værdier, som er fjendtligt indstillet over for oplysningstraditionen. I tråd med dette ønsker halvdelen af danske muslimer, at bøger og film, der angriber religion, bør forbydes ved lov (Danmarks Statistik/CEPOS)

I FN forsøger de muslimske lande for tiden at få religionskritik sidestillet med racisme i forbindelse med den såkaldte Durban IIkonference.

Med udvisningen af den folkevalgte Geert Wilders alene på grund af hans synspunkter i samfundsdebatten gør den britiske regering fælles sag med frihedsfjendske muslimske kredse mod oplysningsværdierne. Hvilket svigt.

Dermed sender man et uhyggeligt signal for fremtiden: I takt med, at muslimer kommer til at udgøre en stadigt stigende andel af Europas befolkninger, vil regeringer som den britiske opgive mere og mere af oplysningstraditionen.

Frihedsværdierne i vores samfund trues således ikke alene af autoritær islam. Der finder også et afgørende værdiopgør sted inden for den europæiske verden. Dette opgør står mellem oplysningstraditionen og den politiske korrekthed.

Fronterne trækkes stadigt hårdere op og udviklingen går kun en vej. På et tidspunkt vil et af de europæiske lande opleve en “social” uro, der i intensistet vil opleves af alle, som en borgerkrig. Væk vil være de lyksalige blår i øjnene, væk vil være bortforklaringer og fornægtelse og den opfattelse af udviklingens uvirkelighed, der får de fleste til at mistro, hvad de allerede godt ved. Det afgørende bliver i den situation, hvor afgørelsens time står klart for alle, hvad man konkluderer. Skal staten indskrænke den frie tanke yderligere eller skal vi tage opgøret med fascismen, mens vi stdig står stærkt. Her står Danmark stærkt da vi før alle andre europæiske lande har udviklet et sprog for islamkritik og national hævdelseer accepteret af flertallet og som i sin klare logik og uafviselige præmissesæt tilbageviser de stadigt mere desperate beskyldninger.

Det er historien om de to biologer, der under en udflugt i skoven støder på en stor bjørn. Den ene udbryder, at det nu er ude med dem, men den anden svarer triumferende at han har sine bedste løbesko på. Da den første indvender at Bjørnens løbehastighed så langt overgår mennesket, selv med “sine bedste løbesko på”, svarer den; Jeg skal ikke løbe fra bjørnen, jeg skal bare løbe fra dig! Det første europæiske lande, der bryder sammen vil samtidig give alle andre lande muligheden for det klare valg.

I dag er det 20 år siden at den engelske forfatter Salman Rushie fik udstedt en fatwa for bogen De Sataniske Vers. Fra Berlingske Tidende

Fatwaen kom som et chok, men det ville være en overdrivelse at sige, at den kom som et lyn fra en klar himmel. »De sataniske vers« var blevet udgivet året før, og i flere måneder havde der været ballade. Britiske muslimer havde krævet bogen trukket tilbage. Den var blevet forbudt i Indien, Bangladesh, Sudan og Sydafrika. Senere fulgte Sri Lanka, Kenya, Thailand, Tanzania, Indonesien, Singapore og Venezuela. Umiddelbart før fatwaen havde der været voldelige optøjer i Pakistan. Ingen kunne være i tvivl om, at nogen følte sig krænket. »De sataniske vers« var blevet et hadeobjekt.

Men det er selve fatwaen, der huskes, og ikke kun på grund af de store omkostninger, den fik for hovedpersonen selv. At en europæisk statsborger blev dødsdømt in absentia af en fremmed magt var simpelthen uhørt. Dengang. Siden har meget ændret sig, også hvad den frie tanke angår. Og ikke nødvendigvis til det bedre.

»Forsøgene på at begrænse ytringsfriheden er blevet en global bevægelse,« siger Morgenavisen Jyllands-Postens kulturredaktør, Flemming Rose. Som medansvarlig for samme dagblads Muhammed-tegninger var – og er – han en central skikkelse i det, som mange anser for at være en helt central kamp for ytringsfrihed.

»I Holland har regeringen for nylig fremsat forslag om at kriminalisere endnu flere ytringer, der kan opfattes som krænkende. I Norge har Senterpartiet så sent som i sidste uge foreslået noget lignende, dog uden at komme igennem med forslaget. Muslimske grupper i Europa forsøger at bruge nationale lovgivninger, der kriminaliserer holocaust-benægtelse, som argument for, at så må vi også have love, der forbyder krænkelser af profeten.«

(…)

Der er mange forklaringer på, hvad det var, der krænkede så mange så dybt. Til gengæld er det hævet over diskussion, at langt fra alle de, der havde mulighed for at ytre sig til forsvar for friheden, benyttede sig af denne ret. I Storbritannien var der muslimske ledere, der hyldede Khomeinis beslutning om at dødsdømme en af deres egne landsmænd. Organisationen Union of Islamic Students’ Associations in Europe udsendte en støtteerklæring til Khomeini. Lederen af Muslim Parlament – et forum for britiske muslimer – Dr. Kalim Siddiqui, bakkede op om fatwaen, men tilføjede, at britiske muslimer skulle overholde britisk lov og overlade det retfærdige mord til andre. Den tidligere amerikanske præsident Jimmy Carter sagde vredt, at »De sataniske vers« var en direkte fornærmelse af millioner af muslimer. Forfatteren John le Carré opfordrede Salman Rushdie til at trække bogen tilbage – indtil videre. I Tyskland – Europas største bogmarked – var der intet forlag, der vovede at lægge navn til en udgivelse. I stedet dannedes et fælles forlag, hvis eneste formål var at udgive »De sataniske vers.«

Fra BBC

A Dutch MP who called the Koran a “fascist book” has been sent back to the Netherlands after attempting to defy a ban on entering the UK.

Freedom Party MP Geert Wilders had been invited to show his controversial film - which links the Islamic holy book to terrorism - in the UK’s House of Lords.

But Mr Wilders, who faces trial in his own country for inciting hatred, has been denied entry by the Home Office.

He told the BBC it was a “very sad day” for UK democracy.

The Dutch ambassador was also at Heathrow to make clear his government’s opposition to the ban on Mr Wilders entering the UK.

(…)

Cabinet Office minister Liam Byrne said, on BBC One’s Question Time: “This guy wasn’t coming here to exercise his right of free speech. This guy was trying to come here in order to sow division between us in this country.

“Everything I’ve heard about this guy tells me he’s a bigot and the right place for him is to stay at home.”

(…)

“The government opposes extremism in all forms,” it said in a statement, adding that it had tightened up rules on excluding those engaging in “unacceptable behaviour” in October.

The home secretary has the power to stop people entering the UK if she believes there is a threat to national security, public order or the safety of UK citizens, but she cannot exclude people simply because of their views.

(…)

Labour peer Lord Ahmed, who expressed his concerns to the parliamentary authorities about Mr Wilders’ visit, told the BBC: “This man doesn’t have any respect for law. He’s doing this for publicity and he’s seeking that and getting that.”

He added: “If this man was allowed into this country it would certainly cause problems within communities around Britain.”

The Muslim Council of Britain said Mr Wilders was “an open and relentless preacher of hate”.

Bekymringen er altså den uro Wilders vil foranledige i det åbenbart allerede højspændte forhold mellem grupperne i England.

Storbritannien har med sin afvisning af den hollandske politiker Geert Wilders markeret endnu et lavpunkt i de vestlige demokratiers ynkelige knæfald for de kræfter, som i religionens navn erstatter argumenter med vold, hærværk og trusler.

Det er bogstaveligt taget pinligt ud over alle grænser.

Fra Telegraph

The woman has been banned by her local council for failing to prevent the teenager from getting baptised, even though the girl was 16 and made up her own mind to change religion.

The carer, a churchgoer in her 50s who has fostered more than 80 children, has now been forced to move out of her home.

She has lost the farmhouse she rented to look after vulnerable teenagers, due to the loss of income.

Another girl she was looking after has been taken back into care.

(….)

The girl, who is now 17, was taken into care after being assaulted by a family member, saw baptism “as a washing away of the horrible things she had been through and a symbol of a new start,” the woman said.

(…)

Apostasy – the repudiation of one’s faith – is strongly condemned in the Koran and is considered taboo in Muslim communities.

Officials advised the teenager to reconsider her decision and stop attending Christian meetings, and in November struck the carer off their register, claiming she breached her duty of care as a foster parent.

“They consider that in some way she should have taken steps to prevent the conversion,” said solicitor Nigel Priestley, who is representing the carer.

Det har tidligere været diskuteret, om medlemmer af det højreorienterede parti British National Party skulle udelukkes som præster i den engelske kirke. Og nu har synodens medlemmer så givet deres mening til kende.

I en afstemning i går sagde 300 af de 418 medlemmer ja til lovforslaget, der forbyder kirkens præster at være medlem af partiet.

Forslaget bliver nu sendt videre til House of Bishops, der er en samling af biskopper.

Ja til Sharia, nej til islamkritik, som en af mine gode venner tørt kommenterede.

Poul Weston perspektiverer sagen mod Wilders i International Free Press Society og jeg vil fremhæve følgende fremragende pointer

The second likely charge Mr Wilders will face is that of the positively Orwellian sounding “insult of a group of people because of their race, their religion or belief, or their hetero- or homosexual nature or their physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities.” Which is a contravention of the Dutch Penal Code, Article 137c.

No doubt this fantastical piece of legislation was partially designed to clamp down on comparisons between Islam and the Nazis, which Mr Wilders does when he encourages people to read and compare the Koran and Mein Kampf, after which they may draw their own conclusions as to the humanitarian philosophies of the respective authors.

This may also turn out be something of an embarrassment for the embattled prosecution. After all, who or what am I describing here?

“My ideology believes in world domination. My ideology wishes to eradicate the Jews. My ideology believes the three mainstays for women are children, the local religious establishment and the kitchen. My ideology believes in organised violence and fear to advance our agenda. My leader is a prophet and his followers work on the Fuhrerprinzip. If you disagree I will kill you, along with the homosexuals.”

Quite.

(…)

What the Dutch authorities (in cahoots with EU authorities) are doing is ensuring the selective ending of free speech. I say selective, because under existing criminal legislation most Mosques throughout Europe should need a conveyor belt to shuttle the new imams through the front door as the manacled ex-imams, convicted not only of sedition but also the incitement of hatred against Jews, Christians, women and homosexuals, are shuttled out through the back.

This is not the case, of course. As the EU so delicately puts it, some are more equal than others:

“Insults, slander, defamation and contempt” are sub category crimes against the open category crime of “offences against personal liberty, dignity and other protected interests, including racism and xenophobia.”

Islam, by dint of being a minority religion is a protected interest, whilst Mr Wilders, despite being one in a million, is the majority of one, and therefore an unprotected interest. In his own country. Dear God, what has the liberal/left come to?

Hver gang man lærer noget nyt om EU bliver man endnu mere bange. Desværre er det blot en afspejling af en generel europæisk virkelighed, som kommenterer i Jerusalem Post fra den tyske virkelighed

Recent events demonstrate the relationship of German political culture today to anti-Semitism.

On the one hand, one is not allowed to deny the Holocaust, as Catholic Bishop Richard Williamson found out. Chancellor Angela Merkel herself told the German pope in the Vatican that such an anti-Semite, member of the reactionary Pius X Brotherhood, could not be tolerated.

Just a few days later, Iranian government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham called the Holocaust “a big lie to settle a rootless regime in the heart of the Islamic world.” That weekend, moreover, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani was invited to join the International Security Conference in Munich, where he said on Friday there were “different views of the Holocaust. I will say: It did not happen.”

Was there any outrage in the case of the Iranians as there was in that of Bishop Williamson? German journalist Malte Lehming of the daily Tagesspiegel explained that Holocaust denial and genocidal hatred is not allowed if it derives from the Western world, like British Williamson. If Muslims do the same thing, nothing happens. This hypocrisy paradigm applies particularly - but not only - to today’s Germany.

If Arabs, other Muslims and their German friends scream “Death to the Jews,” or “Israel - children killer”, that’s fine. If two lonely guys stick an Israeli flag in a bedroom window on a street where such anti-Semites pass, the police react immediately and confiscate the flag. That’s what happened in the city of Duisburg on January 10. In an interview with the Ruhr-Nachrichten newspaper, the head of the Verfassungsschutz (protection of the constitution) in the German Federal Land North Rhine-Westphalia, Hartmut Möller, accused a group of so-called “anti-Germans” of being a dangerous element, “extremists”. Those particular anti-Germans are otherwise known as friends of Israel and the US.

Og om England, der engang nedkæmpede nazismen kan man på Sappho læse

Her til morgen, tirsdag, meddelte Lord Malcolm Pearson, et medlem af det britiske Overhus, at han havde inviteret det hollandske parlamentsmedlem Geert Wilders til at vise sin film Fitna i et konferencelokale i tilknytning til Overhuset. Fremvisningen skulle finde sted torsdag den 12. februar kl. 16. Planen var, at Wilders skulle tale ved et privat arrangement for medlemmer af det britiske parlament bl.a. for at fortælle om sine bevæggrunde til at lave den omstridte, Koran-kritiske film.

Imidlertid modtog Geert Wilders senere på tirsdagen et brev fra den britiske ambassadør i Holland, hvori det blev meddelt, at Wilders er “persona non grata” – altså uønsket – i Storbritannien, fordi han udgør en fare for den offentlige sikkerhed og den samfundsmæssige harmoni grundet den opstandelse, som hans film har fremkaldt.

(…)

Mødet mellem Wilders og de britiske parlamentarikere skulle oprindeligt have fundet sted den 29. januar, men blev udsat, efter at det muslimske overhusmedlem Lord Nazir Ahmed havde truet med at mobilisere 10.000 muslimer for at forhindre mødet. Senere pralede Lord Ahmed i den pakistanske presse med, at det aflyste møde var “en sejr for det muslimske samfund”. 

Udviklingen er uholdbar.

Det store multikulturelle forbillede, som vi kan lære meget af, hvad angår tolerence og sameksistens diskuterer også de storpolitiske begivenheder i Mellemøsten - hver kultur med sin debattradition. Fra Kristeligt Dagblad

Vreden over den israelske militæroffensiv i Gazastriben har nået et kritisk punkt og risikerer at styrke de mest yderliggående grupper, lyder det i et brev, som muslimske ledere i Storbritannien har sendt til premierminister Gordon Brown.

Den israelske regerings “uforholdsmæssige magtanvendelse” har “givet nyt liv til yderliggående grupper og styrket deres budskab om vold og evig konflikt”, lyder det i brevet, der blandt andet er underskrevet af imamen i al-Tawhid moskéen i London, Usama Hasan, og lederen af Islamic Foundation, Dilwar Hussain.

- Vi risikerer, at muslimer i Storbritannien og udlandet mister troen på den politiske proces, skriver de.

Det er er ved at koge op i de muslimske miljøer, der ikke møder nok eftergivenhed. Ikke at få sin vilje kan få alle til at miste troen på den politiske process for hvad er demokrati værd, hvis det ikke er en konstant afspejling af ens ønsker uden at skulle tage hensyn til opposition? Og muslimerne er da også begyndte at argumentere for deres sag på deres egen karakteristiske måde, der har gjort islam til en elsket og eftertragtet magtfaktor i det meste af verden. Fra Telegraph

A report by the Community Security Trust, which gives safety advice to British Jews, said there had been 24 incidents since December 29, including an arson attack on a synagogue in London.

Mark Gardner, a spokesman for the group, said: “There has been a significant rise in the number of anti-Semitic incidents, especially when compared with what is usually a very quiet time of year for racist, anti-Jewish attacks.

“It is a pattern with which we and the police are now sadly familiar, whereby hysteria is whipped up against Israel, and British Jews then suffer a wave of anti-Semitism,” he told Sky News.

The synagogue, in Brondesbury, north west London, was attacked by arsonists who attempted to smash a window.

British anti-terror expert Glen Jenvey is convinced online forum Ummah is being used to prepare a deadly backlash against UK Jews.

His warning came as Europe was hit by anti-Semitic attacks over Israel’s push into the Gaza Strip.

Hundreds have died in the Jewish state’s response to rocket attacks by militant Palestinian group Hamas.

On the Ummah site, “Saladin1970” asks for help compiling “a list of those who support Israel”.

“Abuislam” asks: “Have we got a list of top Jews we can target? Can someone post names and addresses?”

Saladin1970 gives a link to the Power 100 list of top British Jews.

Det multietniske samfund, hvor en hvilken, som helst konflikt i verden bliver din konflikt. Det multietniske samfund, hvor man i lighedens navn ikke kan sætte ord på nazismens ondskab fordi den er ophøjet til islamisk kultur.

Israel-Palæstina konflikten er i sandhed blevet endnu mere paneuropæisk efter at IDF har krydset grænsen til Gaza. Diverse kraftidioter fra venstrefløjen tørner ud med samme forudsigelighed, som muslimerne bliver krænkede over… hvad som helst i virkeligheden.

Fra AFP:

LONDON (AFP) — Thousands of people across Europe demonstrated against Israel’s airstrikes on Gaza Saturday, calling for an immediate halt to the military offensive even as Israeli troops entered the Palestinian region.

The biggest rallies were in Paris, where police estimated 21,000 demonstrators took to the streets, and in London, where they put the number at 10,000.

Thousands of people also voiced their opposition to Israel’s military action in rallies in Madrid, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Athens along with other European cities.

In London, many demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “Israel terrorists” as they filed along the River Thames before gathering in Trafalgar Square, an AFP reporter saw.

…

The London march, which organisers Stop the War Coalition claimed had attracted 50,000 people, was led by singer Annie Lennox and veteran left-wing politician Tony Benn.

Former Eurythmics star Lennox said the approach of both the Palestinians and Israelis was “wrong” and a total ceasefire was the only option.

“For every one person killed in Gaza, they are creating 100 suicide bombers. It’s not just about Gaza, it’s about all of us,” she told the BBC.

Især den sidste bemærkning er interessant. Det er et synspunkt der godt kunne foldes lidt mere ud. Forventer hun yderligere terrorbomber i London?

In Paris, where organisers claimed 25,000 turned out for a march led by Communist and left-wing politicians, the crowd chanted “We are all Palestinians” and “Israel killers.” Many sported traditional Palestinian scarves.

As the protesters dispersed, between 200 and 300 tried to make their way toward the Israeli embassy near the Champs Elysees but were blocked by police barricades. Several cars were set alight as well as Israeli flags, an AFP correspondent reported.

Several cars were also torched or overturned and windows smashed in the city’s midtown shopping district, but calm appeared to return as of early evening, according to an AFP journalist.

Thousands of people also demonstrated in the French cities of Marseille, Lyon, Nice and Mulhouse, with organisers and police again offering vastly different turnout numbers.

Frankrig har et problem der minder om et overlæsset godstog, i for høj fart, og uden bremser. Bon voyage.

Det er en særlig følelse at læse Politiken og da den lå frit fremme på mit arbejde kunne jeg ikke dy mig for at genopfriske dette særlige segments univers. Sektion 2 indeholder de saftige debatsider og her gør Jakob Illeborg, som en forlængelse af hans bog om samme emne en Iagtagelse, nemlig at danskerne er blevet sig selv nok. Og det er en iagtagelse man aldrig bliver træt af på Politiken.

For nylig talte jeg med den britiske minister for racerelaterede anliggender og sameksistens, Sadiq Khan, der selv er muslim. Ligesom Garton Ash mener han, at Storbritannien har noget at lære os andre, når det gælder den svære - og formodentlig nødvendige - kunst at få etableret en samfundsramme, der appellerer til andre end os selv : »Storbritannien er det lysende eksempel på, at det kan betale sig at skabe en ramme, hvor folk har lov til at leve vidt forskellige liv med forskellig etik og religiøse værdier, så længe de respekterer landets lov og ret. Vi skal turde indlemme elementer af anderledes skik og brug, f.eks shariaprincipper for muslimerne«, sagde ministeren.

Det er jo godt at danske Jakob Illeborg sådan kan gå og føre samtaler med engelske ministre. Men loven er jo ikke blot en tom ramme, men en afspejling af samfundets normer og moral. Hvad skal være lovligt, hvad skal være pligter og hvad anses for skyld. Overensstemmelsen mellem borgernes selvfølgelige opfattelse af ret og vrang og så loven er afgørende for den tiltro borgerne har til samfundet og til hinanden.

At en muslim mener at sharia skal være en del af England overrasker ikke, men at erfaringerne med sharia i andre dele af verden ikke gør mere indtryk på englænderne og Jakob Illeborg gør derimod og man må spørge, hvem det er man gerne vil appelere til med sin “samfundsramme”, hvis ikke til en selv?

Men sådan skal England åbenbart være et lokalt forsøg på et verdensamfund, som vi andre skal tage ved lære af. Jeg foretrækker nu at se forsøget helt til ende først, for det ser unægteligt ud, som om det koger over. Antydningen af det scenarie ligger allerede i Illeborgs egne ord.

Briterne har turdet satse på at skabe en positiv ramme for sameksistens. Det betyder ikke, at det britiske system på nogen måde er perfekt, og dele af den britiske tilgang til terrorbekæmpelse er direkte bekymrende.

Hvad Illeborg ser som et paradoks mellem den bekymrende tilgang til terrorbekæmpelse, der i sit væsen er et frontalangreb på den personlige frihed ser jeg, som en naturlig konsekvens. Modsætningerne mellem gruppperne trænger sig stadig mere på og ingen kan undslippe den konflikt i et samfund, der definerer individdet som kulturbærer tilhørende en gruppe. Hvad livets essens handler om er kulturelt specifikt og det er selvsagt hjerteblod i enhver kultur. Intet kompromis eller møden på halvvejen er mulig og at søge at gøre alle tilfredse fra samfundets side ender med at gøre alle utilfredse. Og hvem har skylden for ens fremmedgørelse, hvis ikke “de andre”?

De engelske myndigheder har siden metrobomberne optrevlet mere end 20 attentater, hvor den mest spektakulære omhandlede bombningen af 7 fly over Atlanten. Hadet til den engelske samfundsramme er indlysende gevaldigt! Spørgsmålet man stiller sig i England er, hvornår og ikke, hvis det lykkes for en endnu større terroraktion med en “beskidt” bombe. Et andet spørgsmål er, hvornår andre gruppers forhold til “samfundsrammen” udmønter sig i had og gengældelse, for det er deres eftergivenhed man søger at veksle til tilfredsstillelse af den evigt sultne islam.

Fra Evening Standard

MORE than a quarter of prison places in London are occupied by foreign nationals despite Government efforts to increase deportations.

Official figures show 1,953 foreigners are in the capital’s seven jails - accounting for 28 per cent of inmates.

Fra Telegraph

It will be the first rise in net migration since 2004 and another setback for the new immigration minister Phil Woolas, who faced ridicule after apparently calling for a cap and then appearing to row back.

It also piles extra pressure on Mr Woolas who has pledged to not allow the UK population to exceed 70 million - some nine million above its current level.

The rise is likely to be due to migrants from outside the EU as separate figures are expected to show a continuing downward trend in numbers arriving from Eastern Europe.

(…)

Figures in August showed that in the 12 months up to mid 2007 there was a net migration in to the country of 198,000 and that was an increase of 9,000 on the previous 12 months.

If a similar pattern continued for the rest of 2007 then the net figures for the calendar year will have increased from 191,000 for 2006 to 200,000 last year.

Netto migrationen vil sige at man modregner de, der forlader landet, hvilket fortrinsvis er englændere (i den klassiske forståelse af ordet englænder). Londons borgmester Boris Johnson synes åbenbart ikke at de legale kanaler arbejder hurtigt nok i transformationen af England ifølge Telegraph

Mr Johnson estimated there are around 700,000 illegal immigrants in the country, with 400,000 of them in the capital.

He said there is no prospect of them being removed and wants those who have been here for more than five years and can demonstrate a commitment to the country to be “regularised”.

For at alle disse diversiteter ikke skal støde sammen arbejder de engelske myndigheder ihærdigt på at undgå anstødelige fænomener i det offentlige rum. Fra Kristeligt Dagblad

Motorkontoret i England (DVLA) mener, at nummerplader med kombinationer, der kan ligne religiøse ord, kan være provokerende.Derfor har man nu valgt at forbyde en lang række kombinationer. Motorkontoret har en liste over de potentielt krænkende nummerplader, som heller ikke må ligne ord forbundet med terrorisme og sex, skriver The Telegraph.

De religiøse kombinationer på listen er blandt andre ordet muslim, som kan skrives som M056LEM. Tal og bogstaver, der ligner ord som Jesus eller Koranen, må heller ikke indgå.

Ja, det er rart at vide at de engelske myndigheder er på forkant med udvikling ud i den yderste detalje så selv motorkontoret mobiliseres i forsøget på at undgå etniske konflikter. Men så er der vel efterhånden heller ikke flere ressourcer at kaste ind, hvorimod problemerne tårner sig da det anstødelige stiger eksponentielt med diversiteten pga. de ekstra mange bruderflader.

Fra Daily Mail

A warm late summer afternoon on a leafy street in an area colonised by fashionable cafes and shops came to an abrupt end when the peace was shattered by a raw, terrifying eruption of gang violence this week.

Armed with spades, screwdrivers, bars and sticks, two gangs clashed and sent locals fleeing into shops for safety.

This running battle between black and Asian youths - a sickening example of brutal Britain today - was captured by a photographer who had been waiting in the street to take a photo of the actress Julie Christie, who lives nearby.

To grupper, der sørgeligt reagerer i afmagt over den indfødte, indgroede og bagstræberiske engelske befolknings undertrykkelse, stigmatisering og konstruktion som den fremmede anden. Hvis blot man ville give flere indrømmelser og penge og helt fjerne engelsk kultur så dette ikke mere ville finde sted.

Fra This Is London

All elected members at Left-wing Tower Hamlets Council in East London have been sent an email asking them to follow strict Islamic fasting during September no matter what their faith.

As well as restricting food and drink until after sunset, the authority’s leaders have decided to reduce the number of meetings throughout the month so they do not clash with the requirements of Ramadan.

Fra This Is London

Muslim drivers are, for the first time, being offered insurance that obeys the teachings of the Koran.

Salaam Halal Insurance provides the same services as conventional companies but it is compliant with Islamic law. This means it cannot invest in any organisation associated with gambling, alcohol or pork. It is also not allowed to take financial risks or speculate with revenue.

Halal insurance – known as takaful – differs from standard British products because the risk is shared between policyholders. Drivers pay into a fund, which is then invested in sharia-compliant ventures and any profits are put back into the fund.

Claims are paid from the pooled sum and any surplus cash is distributed in the form of a discount for the following year’s premium. This is in addition to any conventional no-claims bonus.

Jeg vil lade Patrick Sookhdeo fra instituttet for studier af islam og kristenhed i Coventry i England kommentere fra Kristeligt Dagblad

– Da jeg kom til Storbritannien i 1959 – og jeg kom med en muslimsk baggrund – sugede vi den britiske kultur til os. Som min far sagde, så måtte vi integrere os fuldt og helt ind i samfundet. I dag er det et helt andet billede. Mange muslimer har over de seneste 30 år genopdaget klassisk islam, hvor troen også er politisk, så religion, magt og territorium smelter sammen.Den del af muslimerne, der accepterer vestlig sekularisme, er meget lille, fordi islam af natur er politisk. Mange muslimer siger, at islam er omdrejningspunktet i deres liv, og deres love skal være reguleret af trossamfundet. Det betyder adgang til magt, til egne skoler. Det betyder, at regeringen må tillade pensioner, som er i overensstemmelse med sharia, realkredit, som er i overensstemmelse med sharia, og halalmad på hospitaler. Dermed har islam vundet territorium i den verden, de lever i. Det bliver områder, hvor vi andre ikke kan færdes. De genskaber de samme mønstre, som vi kender fra Pakistan og Mellemøsten.

– Jeg tror, der er en række faktorer. Vi kan gå tilbage til 1979. Det var starten på det 15. århundrede med islam. Vi så Khomeini i Iran, den russiske invasion af Afghanistan og en stigende indflydelse fra Mekka. I den periode genopdagede islam sig selv, sin identitet. I Storbritannien begyndte muslimer at definere sig selv politisk. Før den tid så du ikke kvinder klædt i en hijab. De gik almindeligt klædt. Der var ikke mange halalslagtere, og der var ikke alle de muslimske institutioner, som vi ser i dag. Det er derfor, jeg i min bog lister alle organisationer og institutioner og viser, hvordan de er blevet brugt til at omforme ikke bare det muslimske samfund, men det britiske samfund generelt.

– Der er fire stadier. Først er der udviklingen af en islamisk bevidsthed. Eksempelvis skal muslimske kvinder bære hijab. Den proces bliver formet af sharia. For det andet skaber du institutioner for uddannelse, jura og sundhedsvæsen, som er med til at skabe den sociale bevidsthed. For det tredje forlanger de, at samfundet skal tilpasse sig deres normer og skabe love, der beskytter dem. Eksempelvis skal piger bære muslimske klæder, og de må ikke være i svømmebadet med drenge. For det fjerde: Hvis muslimer ikke får det, som de vil have det, så har de retten til at sprænge dig i luften. De siger eksempelvis, at de ikke kan gøre for, at deres unge er vrede over, at landet har tropper i Irak og Afghanistan. De bruger truslen om vold.

Klassisk islam og ikke islamisme! Det er endnu et eksempel på islams korroderende effekt på den menneskelige hjerne, at selv konfronteret med den moderne verdens herligheder midt i London går udviklingen for muslimer mod den formørkelse, der har ødelagt den verden de kom fra. Denne korrosion medfører krig med omgivelserne så langt disse ikke underkaster sig.

Når Daily Mail kan rapportere denne absurditet

Tayside Police caused uproar in the Muslim community after they released this advertisement featuring police puppy Rebel sitting in a hatThe advert has upset Muslims because dogs are considered ritually unclean and has sparked such anger that some shopkeepers in Dundee have refused to display the advert.

Dundee councillor Mohammed Asif said: ‘My concern was that it’s not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards.

‘It was probably a waste of resources going to these communities.

‘They (the police) should have understood. Since then, the police have explained that it was an oversight on their part, and that if they’d seen it was going to cause upset they wouldn’t have done it.’ 

(…)

‘We did not seek advice from the force’s diversity adviser prior to publishing and distributing the postcards. That was an oversight and we apologise for any offence caused.’

Så er det et tegn på  at The Telegraph er inde på noget rigtigt når de kan fortælle

In the most comprehensive research of its kind to date, Prof Martin Innes, of the Universities’ Police Science Institute in Cardiff, led a team of researchers which carried out face-to-face and telephone interviews with more than 600 Muslims in London, Birmingham and Oldham.

They found that the radicalisation of young British Muslims was more widespread than previously feared, with “a disturbing proportion” expressing support for extremist elements.

The report, which is being distributed among senior officers, Whitehall officials and ministers, finds that:

• Anger and disaffection are “widespread in sections of Muslim youth”.

• There is tacit support for extremist violence within sections of the Muslim community.

• Police need to do more to win the trust of Muslim communities if they are to tackle radicalisation.

• Many Muslims distrust police and are reluctant to inform on extremists, preferring to deal with problems inside their communities.

The study, entitled Hearts and Minds and Eyes and Ears: Reducing Radicalisation Risks Through Reassurance Orientated Policing, warns that “the threat to the UK from jihadist terrorism may increase in the future”.

Og den udvikling kan - også ifølge Telegraph - nu mærkes overalt i samfundet

Mrs Blair said: “As a parent I am concerned about what’s happening when my children are on the street and I know I am not unique in that by any means.

“Anecdotally it seems clear that the perception is that it’s much worse,” she said.

“I think the evidence that we heard from people on the street and indeed the figures we were getting from hospitals, is that there are more people presenting with injuries caused in this way.

“Because this is almost a new phenomenon - that younger children are carrying knives and, sadly, using them - the statistics are not looking at the right areas. They need to broaden what they are looking at.”

Hvilket betyder at andre - igen ifølge Telegraph - lugter blod

Canada is trying to attract skilled British workers to emigrate to the country to boost the economy and population.

Canada wants to attract 50,000 foreign workers within the next year

Officials hope that superior public services and a stable economy will tempt people who have lost patience with the soaring cost of living in Britain, and the state of hospitals and schools.

Hector Goudreau, Minister of Employment and Immigration in Alberta, has been sent across the Atlantic to encourage workers who fit skills and experience criteria to apply for a fast-tracked visa.

The scale of the project has been compared to the assisted passage scheme which saw over a million ‘Ten Pound Poms’ migrate to Australia after the Second World War. It will raise fears that Britain could be hit with a ‘brain drain’ if significant numbers take up the offer.

England, you are going down!

Man er kun hjemme blandt sine egne og derfor gav man indvandrerne lov til at klumpe sig sammen i bestemte områder, områder der ind imellem senere er blevet annekteret.

Debatten, der følger umiddelbart efter indslaget har en både etnisk og holdningsmæssig skillelinje. Den unge pakistaner mener ikke at det multietniske projekt er en segregeringsmotor og anerkender derfor ikke at “briterne” flytter væk fra den voksende andel af “asiater”. Tilfældigt? Fra Jyllands-Posten

85 procent af landets byrådspolitikere med indvandrerbaggrund vil afskaffe tilknytningskravet, der kræver at en familie har større tilknytning til Danmark end et andet land, hvis den skal have opholdstilladelse.

Det viser en rundspørge fra Ritzau, hvor også 65 procent af de 68 byrådspolitikere fra ikkevestlige lande, som Ritzau har kendskab til, vil af med 24-års-reglen, der forbyder familiesammenføring for ægtepar under 24 år.

Måske skal man ikke blot øge kendskabet til dansk kultur, blandt indvandrere men derimod arbejde stenhård på at de bliver så fortrolige med dansk kultur at de kan se det indlysende uheldige i at give mere plads i æteren til deres hjemlands vemodige sange.

Fortsat god Søndag.

Hodja bragte for et par dage siden et lille nyhedsindslag i forbindelse med en Channel Four dokumentar om moskéer i Birmingham. Da prædikenerne blev filmet med skjult kamera var det selvsagt artige sager, som dokumentaren kunne viderebringe. Ikke overraskende affødte det voldsomme reaktioner fra de sædvanlige, men overraskende var det at politiet meldte folkene bag dokumentaren til sig selv for overtrædelse af dårlig presseskik eller noget fordi imamernes prædiken var taget ud af en kontekst (hvilken kontekst bøder op på trusler?). Det lille nyhedsindslag ser nærmere på påstandene og ikke overraskende er der intet at komme efter for de havde håbet at programmet løj.

Programværten citerer en kilde i West Midlands Force (og undskyld mit dårlige engelsk, der er værre end mit danske)

“what some speakers said in that film streched the limits but that was hyped. If that was all Channel Four got after filming in months undercover it was’nt very good.”

Og så siger programværten “…police were keen to make good relations to the mosque..” før han igen læser op hvordan politiet betragter disse imamer og deres menigheder.

“..the last buffer before radicalised people fall of into the abyss. Its not so much that the police wants to get in with them as keep talking and understanding”

Hvis det ikke er en ren tilståelsessag om hvor håbløst det at leve i fred med islam, hvad er så? For mit indre ser jeg et gidsel der deparat bliver ved med at tale til sin bøddel for at udskyde det uundgåelige endnu nogle skunder.

Når muslimer i hele verden konstant udtrykker et komplet paranoidt billede af den verden, der omgiver dem opstår, der gerne en diskussion om, hvorfor det er således, hvor en horde af intellektuelle undermålere prøver at bortforklare dette globale fænomen med alt andet end den fællesnævner, der ligger lige for og skriger til himlen.

Den store klassiker indenfor genren “blår i øjnene” er de socioøkonomiske faktorer, der især er populære fordi det er den eneste måde ældre medlemmer af venstrefløjen kan overkue verden på. Ellers prøver man gerne at gøre alt til unikke eksempler for at slette selve ideen om en fællesnævner og her træder især de psykologiske faktorer i karakter båret af venstrefløjens yngre medlemmer, der i postmodernismens tidsalder synes at det er farligt at konkludere noget som helst og hvis interesse i psykologi kommer fra en intens dyrkelse af deres eget selv. Fra Politiken

På gårsdagens retsmøde anklagede Dodi al-Fayeds far, Mohamed al-Fayed, det britiske kongehus for at have bestilt mordet på parret [Dodi al-Fayed og Prinsesse Diana], som havde været godt stof i ugebladene i løbet af sommeren.

I en stribe af beskyldninger sagde ejeren af Londons luksusvarehus Harrods - og en af Storbritanniens rigeste mænd - at den kongelige familie ikke kunne bære tanken om, at Diana skulle gifte sig med en muslim.

Fransk og britisk politi har dog konkluderet, at ulykken var et tragisk uheld, som skyldtes, at Henri Paul kørte for stærkt og havde for meget alkohol i blodet. Begge politiundersøgelser har afvist al-Fayeds beskyldninger.

Tja, og når nu der ikke er meget at komme efter kan man altid appelere efter paranoia

I et forberedt vidnesbyrd fra al-Fayed påstår han ifølge Reuters, at kongefamilien »ikke kunne acceptere, at en egyptisk muslim på et tidspunkt kunne blive stedfar til den kommende konge af England (Dianas ældste søn, prins William, red.)«.

Ifølge chefdommer Scott Baker er det »hans overbevisning, at der blev taget en beslutning om at dræbe både Diana og Dodi. Han placerer prins Philip (dronning Elizabeths mand, red.) i hjertet af sammensværgelsen«.

Til nævningene sagde han:

»I vil blive nødt til at høre godt efter de vidner, I hører, for at finde ud af, om der er beviser, som støtter denne antagelse«.

Hør godt efter den mindste fortalelse for deri er et larmende bevis! I hvert fald hvis du er så dum at tro på islam.

I en tid hvor arbejdsmarkedet fattes hænder, er det ikke hensigtsmæssigt at holde kvalificeret arbejdskraft ude af Danmark. Det siger både de Konservative og de Radikale, der vil have en kraftig liberalisering af den såkaldte green card-ordning.

Den nuværende ordning gør det kun muligt for ikke-EU-borgere at søge job i Danmark, hvis jobbet findes på en positivliste eller giver over 450.000 kr. om året. Og så kan man kun søge ophold i seks måneder. Det bør ændres, mener den konservative integrationsordfører, Henriette Kjær.

De Radikale og de Konservative er opmærksomme på at vi lever i en tid, hvor arbejdsmarkedet fattes hænder, men historisk vil denne tid næppe blive husket for sine manglende hænder på arbejdsmarkedet. Fra Jyllands-Posten

Ifølge britiske medier er ingen af de anholdte britiske statsborger. Tv-stationen BBC rapporterer, at de fem menes at komme fra lande i Mellemøsten. Der er dog ingen officielle kommentarer fra politiet om, hvorfra de mistænkte kommer.

Vi lever nok snarere i en tid, hvor man skal være varsom med den arbejdskraft man tiltrækker.
