Hajj Saeed, Imam of the Al-Faruq Mosque, Heimdalsgade 39, 2200 in Copenhagen, Denmark, rejected interfaith dialogue in a Friday sermon delivered on February 13, one day before the Copenhagen terror attacks. Imam Saeed explained that the Prophet Muhammad waged war against his Jewish neighbors in Al-Madina rather than engage in dialogue. MEMRI

Desværre er Thornings Schmidts forsvar for danske jøder lige så uhjælpeligt klichefyldt, som hendes engelske er provinsielt. Hvordan har hun klaret sig i Bryssel med det? Hun er nok en ørn til tysk.

Spengler: Too many ‘most wanted men’

Dialog, sammenhold, forståelse, salmesang,broderskab?  Tiden er ved at være inde til en magtdemonstration inden de næste mord, hvis det overhovedet er muligt for den postfaktuelle, fakkelbærende, Imagine-syngende tøsebande. “Hvad har vi gjort galt,” sang journalister og ‘eksperter’ i kor. Erslev Andersen sang, så han næppe selv forstod det.

Hvordan kan en kommende, muslimsk massemorder ikke foragte den forsamling af pseudokristne ofre? Efter attentatforsøget i Stockholm i 2010, skrev Thomas Nydahl: “Jag önskar ibland att jag levde i en nation där man tog en sådan krigsförklaring på allvar.”

Alvor frem for sentimentalitet er, at man viser sin vrede inden man hengiver sig til sin sorg. Vi kan ikke komme hurtigt nok til sorgen, til desserten var jeg ved at sige. Som tårerne løb, som vi stod sammen mod verdens ondskab. (Se også THEODORE DALRYMPLE Denial and Grandiosity, Some observations after the Copenhagen killings.)

[..] As John Schindler observed at the XX Committee blog, there was no “intelligence failure” in Paris: the problem is that the security services are overwhelmed.

The lesson of Copenhagen is the same as the lesson of Paris: the fragile social peace that European governments have maintained with their Muslim immigrant communities requires a fundamental revision. In the past, European security services let jihadists blow of steam while quietly culling potential killers. That has failed. The alternative is to tighten the screws on Muslim communities. I argued last month in Asia Times Charlie Hebdo: A failure of policy

The means by which France, or any other nation, could defeat the terrorists are obvious: to compel the majority of French Muslims to turn against the terrorists, the French authorities would have to make them fear the French state more than they fear the terrorists.

That is a nasty business involving large numbers of deportations, revocation of French citizenship, and other threats that inevitably would affect many individuals with no direct connection to terrorism. In the short term it would lead to more radicalization. The whole project of integration as an antidote to radicalism would go down the drain. The effort would be costly, but ultimately it would succeed: most French Muslims simply want to stay in France and earn a living.

It’s no longer enough to patrol the edge of the swamp and kill mosquitos with fly-swatters. There’s no alternative to draining the swamp. David P. Goldman
