Der er sager der i deres grovhed kan være vanskelige at dække køligt og sagligt, og hvor det ville være latterligt at benægte at man tænker særdeles ekstra-judiciale tanker. En sådan sag var absolut dagens beretning om Retten på Frederiksbergs undladelse af udvisningsdom til en araber og en tyrker efter et usædvanligt voldeligt hjemmerøveri. Men som altid må man resignere og acceptere at et demokratisk flertal ønsker denne situation, eller i det mindste ikke tillægger det betydning ved stemmeurnerne. Og som sædvanlig høres i debatten en formodning om at bøtten nu er ved at vende, fordi folk er ved at have fået nok. Dette kan dog med stor sikkerhed afvises. Rundt om i Europa er problemerne med tilvandret bekrigelse af den oprindelige befolkning nået et skridt videre, uden at der anes de mindste tegn på udageret vrede – ingen Travis Bickle‘r træder ud af skyggen, ingen spontant opståede selvtægtsgrupper, eller (hvad der ville være det bedste og mest effektive) intet pres på de eksisterende partier for at tage deres vælgeres bekymringer alvorligt, og handle derefter, ubundet af regler og konventioner. Yes, we can, men et flertal vil altså ikke, og så er der jo ikke rigtig noget at gøre.

Se således situationen i det nordlige England, hvor det længe har været et velkendt fænomen at svage indfødt britiske piger udnyttes barbarisk af muslimske/pakistanske bander der fylder dem med stoffer og alkohol, tæver og voldtager dem, sælger dem til prostitution, og truer deres forældre på livet. Den blotte omtale er stadig et meget stort problem, for i et multikulturelt samfund overtrumfer frygt for at blive stigmatiseret som ‘racist’ hensynet til børns ve og vel. Artiklen her fra the Daily Mail anbefales i sin helhed, dog skal man lige huske at skrælle diverse forbehold og indpakninger væk. “Asian” betyder på britisk engelsk hovedsageligt folk fra det indiske subkontinent, og bruges især når man ikke rigtig bryder sig om at tale om muslimer – men det er det i allerhøjeste grad her. At pigerne er “white” er komplet irrelevant – det er en bekvem betegnelse for indfødte briter, men sagens omdrejningspunkt er deres status som kuffar, dvs. mindreværdige vantro – også selv om artiklen ikke går så langt som til at fortælle dette direkte. ‘Emmas’ historie (LFPC):

[…] Yet by her 14th birthday, that innocent childhood was over. Emma had been raped and sexually abused in the most grotesque manner by 54 men from all over Britain. ‘It feels as if one minute I was playing with dolls, the next I was a sex slave,’ she told me this week. […]

They introduced Emma to older relatives, in their 20s and 30s, who said they wanted to be her friends, too. They plied her with vodka, cigarettes and cannabis spliffs. […]

One, 24-year-old, Tarik, took a particular interest in her. He was the gang’s ring leader – and one day he imposed his authority on her in the most brutal fashion. He led Emma to a patch of wasteland near the bus station and raped her. The whole episode was watched by a group from the gang who, laughing, recorded the attack on their mobile phone cameras.

‘They threatened to firebomb my home with my parents inside if I told anyone what they’d done, shoot me with a pistol, rape my mother and kill my older brother if I told anyone. […]

Many schoolgirls – some aged just eight – all over the north of England are falling prey to gangs who groom them to be lucrative sex slaves. It is an organised crime which police say reaps four times more money for these gangs than dealing in drugs. […]

Mohammed Shafiq, director of the Lancashire-based Ramadhan Foundation,[…] says: ‘I think the police are over cautious about this issue because they fear being branded racist. That they fear being branded racist. That is wrong. These are criminals that should be treated as criminals whatever their race.’[…]

Scotland Yard estimates that 5,000 British-born children are today under the control of sex-slave gangs across the UK. At least ten towns on both sides of the Pennines face the problem. In Blackburn alone, 385 young girls have been offered protection after being sexually exploited by men in the past two years.

Ungarn, Rumænien og Bulgarien åbner EU´s grænser

AS many as five million new EU citizens could soon be created with full rights to come to Britain – thanks to a passport loophole being operated by three member states, it was claimed yesterday.Passport giveaways by Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary to people who live outside their borders but have ethnic links will dramatically swell Europe’s population.The EU has an extremely leaky border,” Conservative MP Philip Hollobone warned.

Hungary, whose citizens have full rights to work in Britain, has been forecast to grant as many as 500,000 passports to ethnic Hungarians living outside its borders, including in Ukraine and Serbia, from January next year.Romania and Bulgaria, which joined the EU in 2007, are already handing out passports to groups of minorities outside their borders. PASSPORT LOOPHOLE ALLOWS 5 MILLION TO COME TO UK.

Jeg kan ikke mindes nogensinde at have oplevet en politisk elite så forenet i frenetisk besættelse af at presse noget ned over hovedet på modvillige befolkninger – det skulle da lige være Lissabontraktaten. Aldeles fraværende er parlamentarisk ydmyghed: Vi må lytte til hvad europæerne mener om dette, og indrette os derefter. Vi er, som Tøger Seidenfaden så mindeværdigt udtrykte det, “problemet”. Når David Cameron nu kaster sig ud i denne dødedans, må det også betyde at man endegyldigt kan placere ham på den ene side af en kridtstreg, nemlig den forkerte. Ja, det er muligt at han vil gøre op med Stasireguleringen af briternes liv; ja, måske vil han foretage visse stramninger i den vanvittige import af bistandsklienter til Storbritannien, men alt bliver underordnet de perspektiver der kan forudses for Europa, når millioner af tyrkere, hvor de mest mobile må forventes at høre til blandt dette lands mest primitive og religiøse, kan bevæge sig frit rundt og bosætte sig i Europa.

Som altid slås jeg af dyb undren over hvordan denne selvpålagte blindhed er mulig, her næppe bedre illustreret end ved kontrasten mellem anklagen mod dem – os – der “wilfully misunderstand Islam”, og så hans vært Erdogans veldokumenterede udtalelser om at der ikke findes moderat islam, og at “islam er islam”.  Der findes næppe mere fatale beslutninger end tyrkisk medlemsskab af EU, og enhver politiker må sorteres efter holdningen til dette spørgsmål (LFPC).

David Cameron will today accuse critics of Turkey’s membership of the EU of playing on fears of Islam -as he pledges to ‘pave the road from Ankara to Brussels’. In a speech in the Turkish capital the Prime Minister will promise to ‘fight’ to help the Islamic state achieve its 50-year goal of EU membership.

He will say that, by embracing the moderate Muslim nation, the EU can improve relations with the rest of the Islamic world. He will hit out at those who ‘wilfully misunderstand Islam’ in order to oppose Turkey’s membership. […] Turkey must join EU, says Cameron: ‘Those who are against are playing on fears of Islam’

Ellers vil nogen sørge for at karrierebefri dig. Jeg mener, det er det fjerde bud i dekalogen. Rene Stadtkewitz taler i april i år til støtte for Geert Wilders, som han har inviteret til Berlin d. 2 oktober. Man ser lige for sig, at Wilders faktisk kommer i regering – det er lidt nærmere på lige nu – og får Merkel til bords ved et eller anden oppustet EU-show. Rede Rene Stadtkewitz bei Wilders-Demo, Teil 2.

Rene Stadtkewitz, 45, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats (CDU), looks set to be excluded from the CDU’s parliamentary group in the Berlin city assembly after inviting Wilders to Berlin on October 2 to discuss integration and Islam. He had also discussed founding a branch of Wilders’ Freedom Party in Germany.Frank Henkel, the CDU’s regional parliamentary group leader, gave Stadtkewitz an ultimatum: Withdraw the invitation by July 26 or face the consequences.

Stadtkewitz refused in an open letter in which he also suggested that the CDU should be doing more to combat Islam politically. Up until now, public debate about the Islamic faith had been “too timid” in Germany, Stadtkewitz wrote. He added that the debate should focus on the defense of freedom and of Christian values, including concerns about “countless young women, who are forced into arranged marriages, enslaved and who sometimes become victims of so-called honor killings.”

Henkel responded Monday by saying that he would propose a motion to exclude Stadtkewitz from the parliamentary group because he had distanced himself from “the goals of the conservatives.” Henkel said Berlin set a positive example of integration and immigration for the whole of Germany. “There is no place in our party for people who demonize Islam and pass judgment on believers in other religions,” Henkel explained. The party looks likely to back the motion to exclude Stadtkewitz from the parliamentary group in a vote on September 7.Berlin Politician in Trouble for Inviting Dutch Populist Wilders.

“Anti-racist” bedrog den engelske stat for 26.7 mio DKK

den kommer lige tilpas til Marianne Jelved, Carsten Fenger-Grøndahl og Maria Leissners lamme venstreben:

She appeared to be a committed campaigner for gipsy rights – even addressing the UN. But in reality, Lavinia Olmazu helped scores of them fraudulently claim £2.9million in benefits. And yesterday, the mother of one was convicted of masterminding a scam which lasted 21 months. Along with her boyfriend and a gang of six Roma criminals, Olmazu co-ordinated the fraud by providing the applicants with false work references which paved the way for nearly 200 Romanians to claim benefits they were not entitled to.Prior to her arrest in March, Romaniaborn Olmazu, 31, had been a vocal campaigner for greater understanding and tolerance of Roma gipsies.As an academic she obtained generous Foreign Office funding to come and live and work in Britain.She set herself up as an ‘inclusivity outreach worker’ for two London councils and helped Roma migrants get work selling The Big Issue magazine.

Yesterday, however, Southwark Crown Court was told that she used these jobs to tout herself to gipsies as someone who could help them fraudulently obtain thousands of pounds each a year – while contributing nothing to society. Had the remaining 196 bogus NI number holders succeeded in claiming benefits before the scam was uncovered, the total cost to the UK taxpayer of the fraud would have been £12million.

Salmerne fra Nisi Dominus blev først så sent som i 2003 identificeret som værende af Antonio Vivaldi. Han blev ordineret som præst som 25 årig i sin hjemby Venedig. En stor dansk kunstner og teolog, Hein Heinsen, fylder 75 fredag:

Præstesønnen fra Mors tog sin teologiske embedseksamen i begyndelsen af 1960′ erne, samtidig med at han gik på Kunstakademiet. I 1963 debuterede han på Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling, og i stedet for ord fra en prædikestol blev teologien integreret i hans kunst. Og som for kunstneren sættes der heller ikke hegn om Heinsens teologi eller hans grundlæggende tanker om frihed og åben samfundsdebat. Men, som han mener, så kan man ikke diskutere uden at vide. Derfor postede han af egen lomme 100.000 kroner i en oversættelse af Koranen til dansk. Simpelthen, som han forklarede til Kristeligt Dagblad, fordi flere skulle have mulighed for at diskutere indholdet. Ligeledes har han i ytringsfrihedens navn i mange år bekæmpet straffelovens blasfemiparagraf. Den grænseløse Hein

Den franske antropolog Claude Lévi Strauss, som ikke kan beskyldes for fremmedhad, skriver i bogen ‘Tropisk Elegi’, at muslimer erstatter virkeligheden med en bog, jo mere de læser i Koranen jo mere er de tabt for denne verden. Teksten læses kun den ene vej. Fra bog til verden. I vestlig forstand læser de ikke. Den enkeltes erfaring siger ingenting til teksten. Muslimen læser ikke dialogisk. Han læser som funktionelle analfabeter læser. Den danske filolog Johannes Pedersen, hvis kendskab til islam var større end nogen nulevende dansk forskers, mente at Koranens sandhed var dens »stilfuldkommenhed«.

For muslimen er det ikke vigtigt, at Koranen forstås. Niebuhrinstituttets forskere, som naturligvis kender Pedersen og Strauss har mig bekendt aldrig diskuteret koranlæsningens konsekvenser offentligt. De har heller ikke oversat Koranen, eller diskuteret mangelen på korankritik . Og jeg har endnu ikke fået nogen muslim til at tage afstand fra et eneste vers i Koranen.(Politiken:  Korankritik er nødvendigt 20.03.2005. ikke online.)

Modernitetens grundlag, fri kunst og fri forskning, er fra den ene side truet af massemediernes gentagelse af det samme, og fra den anden af en tiltagende fundamentalisme. Angsten for friheden har ført til, at mange klamrer sig til det gammelkendte: Danmark, folket, Dannebrog og kongehus og til de såkaldt kristne værdier. Og den islamiske verden ser tydeligere og tydeligere sin egen nedtur, ser , hvordan dens drøm om en gudsstat opløses i frihedens billeder, der trænger ind alle vegne. En verden af fri kunst og fri forskning, men også tyggegummi, sprut og nøgne piger har siden Golfkrigen nærmet sig islams helligste steder.
Islam er fundamentalistisk, selvom Mona Sheikh og imam Fatih Alev søger at bortforklare det. Fundamentalisme er ikke identisk med fanatisme eller terror, men betyder, at man læser en tekst f.eks. Koranen bogstaveligt. Der er ingen afstand mellem teksten og det, den handler om. Eller som muslimerne selv siger, Koranen er evig, ikke skabt.
Selv progressive muslimer udtrykker ikke noget kritisk forhold til Koranen. Mig bekendt findes der ingen korankritik , som der er bibelkritik. Koranen har ingen Reimarus, ingen Luther, ingen oplysningstid. Måske for 1.000 år siden, men den blev nedkæmpet. Og dansk islam har ingen Jens Jørgen Thorsen, som viste en Jesus med ståpik på Birkerød Station, ingen Christian Braad Thomsen med en Jesus som fascist, eller en Georg Brandes med Jesus som legende. Prøv at skifte Jesus i ovenstående ud med Allah, for kristne tror, at Jesus er Gud selv og ikke en profet. Som et kristent frit menneske ville jeg ikke undvære nogen af disse jesusbilleder, selvom jeg finder Luthers og Kierkegaards kristusbilleder mere komplekse og mere oplivende. Om nok så mange konsensussøgende religionshistorikere (Rothstein og Warmind) mener, at kristendommen ligner de andre religioner, er det forkert. Kristendommen er forskellig fra andre religioner, fordi moderniteten og det sekulære rum er indbygget i kristendommen fra begyndelsen. Det tredje led i dogmet om Guds treenighed, troen på Helligånden, giver en frihed, som også er mulighed for kristendommens ophør og verdens fuldstændige sekularisering, hvor Jesu ord: »Min Gud, min Gud, hvorfor har du forladt mig«, runger ud i det tomme rum.Der er en religionskrig i gang. Det har biskop Jan Lindhardt ret i, men ikke mellem religioner, men mellem religion og det moderne . (Hein Heinsen fra Politiken kronik den 18.01.2002:  Gør bibel- og korankritik obligatorisk i skolerne, ikke online.)

UK: Cykler haram for muslimske kvinder

En læserkommentar på venstreorienterede New Statesman, via Atlas Shrugs (LFPC).

FK 20 July 2010 at 12:36

I am also a muslim woman from Pakistan who lives in the ultra muslim orthodox area of Bow and Mile End in London. I have lived in London for around ten years and this is my first experience of living in a majority muslim area as I lived in Clapham before. The problem I personally find with these radical talibanised muslims is that they don’t seem to approve of me going around on my cycle and not adhering to their code by covering myself up. I get all sorts of harassment by the “orthodox” muslim men even though I am not dressed like a prostitute but I might as well be one in their eyes as I am not covered up from head to toe. But for some reason I just have this feeling that even if I was dressed the way they think is right, they would still find a problem with me because I am a woman. The thing that makes me so angry is their confidence, this being England and not a muslim country, thank God!

The muslim men in Mile End have the cheek to spit at me when I am cycling past them on my way back from work if I by mistake just glance at them because either they think I’m making a pass at them, or they feel so degraded because a woman has just glanced at them. But the thing is they are all the same. They are the same in Pakistan and Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and even in England!!! So even though it is a bit of a touchy subject, I feel I need to say something as I left that country to escape this kind of constant sexual persecution which is worse than racism as that really hits the roots of your identity.

JournoList-gate: Medlemmer ønskede Fox forbudt

Spænd sikkerhedsselen, for dette begynder at ligne en længere rutschebanetur. Én ting er hvad man lufter af private frustrationer og aggressioner i ligesindedes selskab. En anden er hvad man faktisk mener, ønsker og forstår i forhold til den virkelighed man er ansat til at beskrive så sagligt og neutralt som muligt. Skeletterne vælter ud af skabet.

[…] The very existence of Fox News, meanwhile, sends Journolisters into paroxysms of rage. When Howell Raines charged that the network had a conservative bias, the members of Journolist discussed whether the federal government should shut the channel down.

“I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.” Davies, a Brit, frequently argued the United States needed stricter libel laws. […]

Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “Do you really want the political parties/white house picking which media operations are news operations and which are a less respectable hybrid of news and political advocacy?” […] Liberal journalists suggest government shut down Fox News

Policeman’s murder solved. The Shin Bet has arrested a Hamas cell believed to be behind the shooting attack in which Yehoshua Sofer was killed in June, it was cleared for publication on Monday.

Two other policemen were injured in the attack when terrorists fired at their patrol car driving near the settlement of Beit Hagai, south of Hebron.

One of the cell’s heads said in his interrogation that just two weeks before he embarked on the attack, his six-year-old daughter was hospitalized in Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, where she had a tumor removed from her eye. The operation was funded by an Israeli organization. […]

It is not racist to realize that the mentality of Palestinian Arabs is fundamentally different from that of most Westerners. It is a result of the culture they were brought up in; it is the result of decades of the most disgusting incitement imaginable – it is hardly genetic. The differences are there and they should not be papered over with wishful thinking. The assumption that “we are all the same under the skin” is a fatal error. The ugly truth is that, in some cultures, “goodwill gestures” are interpreted as weakness, not goodwill, and the obvious response to kindness by an enemy is violence.

Sex og hor og politik

Jeg gider ikke kommentere sexköplagen længere. Men på given foranledning, vil jeg fortælle lidt om mine erfaringer med bordeller. Jeg har i min sømandstid nok været på omkring 150 stykker af dem, så jeg burde have en ekspertise, svenske lovgivere mangler, men man ved jo aldrig. Når man sejlede i de tidlige 70 ere, før containeralderen, var man længe  undervejs og længe  i havn. Gerne fire dage i hver  havn, hvor det idag er  otte timer. Man skulle  have noget at lave, så man gik ud med sine venner, og de steder der serverede øl og underholdning, var gerne de samme  hvor man kunne blive opvartet  af smukke  købe damer. I Noreuropa, Hamborg, Rotterdam og Antwerpen, var stederne for deprimerende, kvinderne var lige så dyre som de var uatraktive, men når man kom syd for Portugal og hele vejen til Manilla, Hong Kong og Japan, så var det steder med betydelig charme og livsglæde. Det vil måske  komme  bag på nogle, men jeg er en slags romantiker, jeg troede ikke  på ideen om at købe  mig til noget i den boldgade, så jeg nøjedes med at købe  øl og lade dem bide mig i øret til ingen verdens  nytte. Jeg accepterede hvad de levede af, jeg havde ingen meniger om det, ej heller om deres kunder. De solgte, men ikke til mig. Jeg har dog kendt “den trofaste luder,” som Henry Miller med rette priser i  sine bøger, og bedre veninde  kan ingen få. Det var da jeg boede i lang tid i Singapore. Hun gik på sit arbejde, og jeg gik på mit, og tiden sammen var idyl. Hun vogtede over mig som en løvinde. Jeg vil riste en rune for hende, Sophia, jeg har hendes foto,  men da hun sikkert nu er en respektabel midaldrende, singaporeansk bedstemor nu, tøver  jeg lidt med at lægge det på nettet.

Hvad burkaen gemte

Historien her kan anskues fra flere vinkler – der er en umiddelbart komisk kontrast mellem indpakning og indhold, nogen vil måske finde det pikant, men først og fremmest er det jo en illustration af hykleri, hvor dette lands priviligerede kaste kan leve i den frihed deres undersåtter er afskåret fra (LFPC).

Taking the witness stand at Southwark Crown Court last week, Sara Al Amoudi spoke softly from behind a black veil. In fact, as befitting a Saudi Arabian princess, she was covered from head to toe with only her eyes visible.

Her demeanour was greatly at odds with the disputed case before the jury: an un-Islamic affair involving her former Swedish male-model lover, cocaine, Ketamine, champagne, London nightclubs, and, at the centre of it all, a bloody fracas in her luxury flat.

For Patrick Ribbsaeter – the lover in question who sat in the dock listening to her give evidence – it was one of the few times he had seen her dressed in a burka. Cleared after a two-week trial of assaulting her chauffeur, Mr Ribbsaeter, 30, tells today of the first time he set eyes on 28-year-old Miss Al Amoudi – in her room at The Conrad Hotel in Bangkok in May last year when she demonstrated considerably less sartorial restraint.

She was introduced to him wearing a revealing corset and designer jeans. Instantly bewitched by ‘this really beautiful woman’, he recalls being struck by what he describes as her close resemblance to the Colombian pop singer Shakira.

They became lovers that first night, beginning a destructive five-month relationship that was, he claims, defined by ‘hard partying’.‘She didn’t wear the burka as a rule,’ he said. ‘She wore designer clothes. Though once or twice in my presence she was completely covered up – the first time I visited her flat in London, for example. […]

‘My friend said she wanted to party and when we got to the room she was on her own, drinking champagne and quite drunk,’ said Mr Ribbsaeter. […] The Chanel burka-wearing vamp who goes clubbing with Kate Moss at centre of sensational court case

Somaliere i millionærvilla har £7000 i huslejerestance

[…] Abdi Nur, along with his wife and their seven children, moved into the three-storey property in West London last month because he didn’t like the ‘poor’ area of the city they were living in. His case was labelled ‘an outrage’ by the Prime Minister last week after The Mail on Sunday revealed the public was footing the townhouse’s £8,000 monthly rental bill.

Now, the owner of Mr Nur’s former home in North-West London has claimed the 42-year-old ex-bus conductor owes him £7,000 in rent arrears. […]

The Calgary mother who killed her teenage daughter by strangling her with a scarf more than three years ago will not have to spend a day in jail, a judge ruled on Thursday. […]

But LoVecchio deemed she did not intend to kill her, even though such an act required at least 2 1/2 minutes of continuous strangulation to cause death, and convicted her last October of the lesser included offence of manslaughter. […]

Marilyn Millions, one of Magomadova’s sponsors with St. James Anglican Church, said outside court she was relieved “at the compassion and mercy that has been shown” by the court. “There were lots of tears and emotion,” she said. “If you’ve lived through it and you’ve gotten to know these people, it’s all in the context. It’s a lot different than reading a little bit about it. It’s a very different situation.”

“This was a family in crisis with events spiralling out of control,” he said, alluding to the friction between Aset and Aminat leading up to the deadly confrontation that morning. “It cannot be reduced to simply a case of mom choosing to kill her daughter as a form of discipline because she misbehaved. Quite simply, the events of that morning cannot be seen as a single isolated event.” […] Calgary mom who strangled daughter gets suspended sentence

Queen Rania refuses Hebrew version of her book – on tolerance

From Ha’aretz:

Queen Rania of Jordan has turned down several offers to publish a Hebrew version of a children’s book she recently wrote. The book, which was published in the United States by Hyperion under the title “The Sandwich Swap” for children between 4 and 8 years old, was co-written with Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Tricia Tusa.

During a promotional campaign for the book, the queen described it as the story of two girls who let the food they bring to school get in the way of their friendship. They disparage each other’s food based on their own cultural preconceptions. The two main characters, Lily and Salma, have a lot in common, but not when it comes to their sandwiches: Lily prefers the all-American peanut butter and jelly, while Salma sticks to pita and hummus.

The two learn how to maintain their friendship, despite their cultural differences, but not without a food fight at school in which their classmates take sides. The confrontation ends, however, with a party at which the children exchange sandwiches. The book’s message touches open such issues as getting to know others, openness and multiculturalism.

Queen Rania seems to be the poster child for Arab tolerance: it’s real important until it comes up against a prejudice that is even more important. Then, of course, prejudice wins. Queen Rania refuses Hebrew version of her book – on tolerance

Nancy-mordet: Moralsk opløsning over hele feltet

Selv Expressen har kvalme over omstændighederne omkring mordet den unge Nancy Tavsan i Gøteborg nytårsnat. Det er rigtignok på høje tid. Den hypervoldelige tiltalte somalier Abdulaziz Abdullahi Mohamed Husseins tidligere bedrifter kan ses her. Hvis han har sagt én sandhed under afhøringerne, har det været ved en fejltagelse. Med hans CV er det ufatteligt at han overhovedet gik løs nytårsnat, det er en retsstat der delvis har abdiceret, der lader det ske. Endnu en tragedie i en snart uendelig række.

Hela utredningen om överfallet på Nancy Tavsan full av exempel om hur folk struntar i att berätta hela sanningen, ljuger om skitsaker, sinkar polisarbetet, lämnar vilseledande uppgifter, bara tiger eller bara tänker på sig själv. Samhällsansvar och personlig moral – släng dig i väggen! “Skuggan” själv är det främsta exemplet. En ung man på hemväg från en fest hör mobilen ringa. Den ligger i snön. Vad gör han då? Jo, han stjäl den! I stället för att svara på det kanske viktigaste samtalet han kommer att få i hela sitt liv, trycker han av det, åker därifrån och ger mobilen till sin kompis. Vad är det för ett samhälle där folk gör så? Tänk om han hade svarat? Kanske kunde det ha räddat Nancys liv? [..]

Men det är inte rätt att gärningsmannen ska komma undan på grund av folks lat-het, själviskhet eller rädsla för att bli inblandad. Lika fel är det att man kan strunta i att rädda en människa som badar i sitt eget blod – och komma undan med det. “Fel att 22-åringen ska komma undan bara på grund av folks lathet”

Det er ikke ret meget opmærksomhed dette spørgsmål får, men både i FN og EU er der velvillig indstilling til at en del af ‘løsningen’ hedder repatriering af mennesker i en størrelsesorden vi ikke har set endnu, bl. a. i vore lande. FN er på forkant med udviklingen, og er allerede nu begyndt at udskamme europæerne for manglende velvilje. De antal der kunne komme på tale vil sætte vores samfund under et pres af en helt anden størrelsesorden end det der i disse år skaber splid og kiv blandt os, og koster ufattelige milliardbeløb at afbøde konsekvenserne af. Det underliggende spørgsmål bliver selvfølgelig om vi er moralsk forpligtede til begå kollektivt selvmord for at huse mennesker fra dysfunktionelle kulturer, for ingen ved deres fulde fem kan hævde at den fred og velstand der gør os til en magnet for resten af verden vil kunne opretholdes under dette hidtil usete pres (LFPC).

[…] António Guterres is the UN’s High Commissioner for refugees and heads an organisation looking after displaced and stateless people from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, DR Congo and Iraq amongst others. We interviewed him just after he spoke to Members of Parliament’s Civil Liberties Committee on 28 April. […]

[Guterres:] I believe there is a trend; attitudes on migration in general become more negative during periods of economic crisis. There are usually two scapegoats, governments and foreigners…This negative attitude also translates itself into shrinking of the asylum space and this is a major concern for us. […]

Europe is still an important contributor in asylum but unfortunately with the unified European space, we still don’t have a functional European asylum system. We are building it, but very slowly. We still have a mosaic of completely different national asylum systems which of course creates an enormous dysfunction.[…]

We hope and we are strongly supportive of the five proposals by the European Commission (for example reception conditions, procedures) and we strongly appeal to the members to get together and to understand that a true harmonisation is necessary; burden sharing is of course an important element.

[…] Environmental refugees already number some 25 million, and it is estimated that by 2020, some 60 million people will move from desertified areas in Sub-Saharan Africa towards Northern Africa and Europe.[…] The economics of economics & biodiversity: an interim report

UK: Ramadanen vender op og ned på skolegangen

Man må i hvert fald sige at ved allerede nu at ligge på maven med rumpetten i vejret er Storbritannien godt rustet til fremtiden (LFPC).

Schools are being urged to rearrange tests, cancel swimming lessons and stop sex education to avoid offending Muslims during Ramadan. Head teachers in Stoke-on-Trent have been issued with the guidance for treatment of Muslim pupils who may still be fasting when the new term starts in September.

But critics dismissed the advice as ‘over-zealous’ bureaucracy and said all pupils would be forced to miss out on activities as a result. […] Council forces schools to rearrange exams and cancel lessons to avoid offending Muslims during Ramadan
