This is what happens when the civilized world abandons its responsabilities.

Denmark passes law for automatic deportation of criminal immigrants.
This is a great step back from the abyss for civilization. Now, if an immigrant commits a crime while in Denmark, they will be automatically deported right after their sentence is served. There are still some caveats such as ‘certainty that their life is in danger’ or related matters but according to this article the burden of proof has been reversed as the deportation is now automatic and it will be up to the defense to prove that it cannot legally be done. This likely will pit Denmark against the EU even more as does its new enforcing of its own borders. It looks like some people are coming to grips with reality at last.

Denmark: Government Plans Tighter Border Controls
May 11, 2011
The Danish government announced May 11 that it would reinstate guards along the Swedish and German borders and conduct spot checks, the Wall Street Journal reported. The agreement, a compromise between ruling coalition partners in the Conservative and Venstre parties, would enact the border controls in exchange for enacting austerity measures such as raising the retirement age and cutting retirement benefits. The government has set aside $52 million for equipment and wages. Danish Justice Minister Lars Barfoed said the government will ensure that the tighter controls will not impede border crossings by citizens and businesses. The Danish government has sent a formal document to the European Commission, which will evaluate the legality of the policy change.

Statement by Lars Hedegaard on his conviction for “hate speech”
Copenhagen, May 5, 2011
It is with great sadness I have to report that Denmark’s reputation as a haven of free speech and a bastion of resistance to sharia encroachment is irreparably tarnished. Denmark is my country and I used to be proud of it.
On May 3 the Eastern Superior Court in Copenhagen convicted me of hate speech under Denmark’s infamous Article 266 b of the penal code – a rubber provision that may be stretched to serve any political purpose dear to the hearts of the ruling elites.
My crime is to have called attention to the horrific conditions of Muslim women and for my audacity the court has now enabled my detractors to label me a racist.
Muslims can say whatever they want with impunity. Just a few weeks ago Denmark opened its gates to the hate-spewing preacher Bilal Philips, known for his advocacy of wife-beating and the killing of homosexuals. He was provided a platform in Copenhagen and nobody thought of dragging him into court.
Our authorities and their allies among the pc elites have chosen sides in the struggle between the forces of freedom and the forces of darkness and so opted for the oppressors of their own people and against those deserving of their protection.
The real victims of this despicable case are freedom of speech and the tens of thousands of girls and women – Muslim as well as non-Muslim – whose plight may no longer be mentioned in my country for fear of legal prosecution and public denigration.
We cannot permit this outcome to stand. I have therefore decided to appeal my conviction to the Supreme Court and – if that is denied – to the European Court of Human Rights.
This is a fight for liberty against tyranny. It will be long and hard but losing is no option.
The Islamic Dr. Doolittle.
I suspect the more accurate name in this case might be, ‘Dr. Dotoomuch’.

President of Danish Free Press Society convicted for ‘Racism’
Danish Free Press Society 
3 May 2011
The President of the Free Press Society, Lars Hedegaard, was declared guilty of racist statements.
Lars Hedegaard was today found guilty of hate speech under Article 266b of the Danish penal code. The background is a good 35 minutes long interview to the site snaphanen.dk which Hedegaard gave in December 2009.
Here Hedegaard said, among other things, that “girls in Muslim families are raped by their uncles, their cousins or their dad.”
Lars Hedegaard has previously expressed regret if his statements gave the impression that he would accuse all Muslims of abusing their children. The day after the interview he stressed that his opinions were about Islam and not Muslims.
In January Hedegaard was acquitted of racist statements in the lower court of Frederiksberg. The court believed that his statements were insulting, but the case was dismissed because he did not know that the interview, which took place during a Christmas lunch, would be published.
The prosecutor appealed the verdict to the Eastern Regional Court, which today claimed that Hedegaard knew his statements would be published. He is therefore declared guilty of racist statements.
Lars Hedegaard is sentenced to a fine of DKK 5,000 (approximately $1000).
Lars Hedegaard states:
The real losers today are freedom of speech and Muslim women. How can we speak up for them if we risk getting a state sanctioned label of racism?
Lars Hedegaard will appeal the verdict.
§ 266b of the Danish penal code:
“Whoever publicly or with the intent of public dissemination issues a pronouncement or other communication by which a group of persons are threatened, insulted or denigrated due to their race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, religion or sexual orientation is liable to a fine or incarceration for up to two years.”

The Eastern High Court today fined Lars Hedegaard, the president of the Free Press Society, 5,000 kroner for making racially offensive comments in December 2009.
“Girls in Muslim families are raped by their uncles, their cousins, or their fathers,” and “When a Muslim man rapes a woman, it is in his right to do so,” were among the comments Hedegaard made during a 35-minute interview at a Christmas party with the author of the blog snaphanen.dk, who subsequently published the comments on the blog.
Today’s decision overturns a decision in January by the Frederiksberg District Court, which stated that while it found Hedegaard’s comments to be insulting, Hedegaard did not know that his controversial comments would be made public.
Last week Hedegaard published a book titled “Muhammeds Piger” (Mohammed’s Girls), in which he writes about issues such as discrimination in Islam and that the belief in predestination.
“Everyone is subject to Allah’s will, but he treats them differently – without stating any other criteria for the discrimination other than his own will,” the book reads.
Women are the main focus of the book, in which the author also expresses his joy over the victory of free speech, referring to the district court’s acquittal in January.

DANES SAVE MORE THAN FIVE BILLION A YEAR BY TIGHTENING IMMIGRATION
The portion worth paying attention to is the fact that Western immigrants to Denmark are net contributers to the Danish economy, while non-Western immigrants are a major drain. The question outside of further tightening immigration policies, is what to do about the immigrants and their descendants who are there to stay, seeing that they remain a drain on the economy? It appears to be the right “million Kroner question” to ask. KGS

Tighten the Danish immigration policy has saved Denmark for five billion. lion in the past nine years. More tightening to come.
Denmark has saved 5.1 billion. a year on importing a foreign policy that is much tighter than before 2002.
According to a report prepared by officials from five ministries.
The five billion. per year is saved by, among other things, that there are now fewer foreigners from non-Western and more from western countries to Denmark.
Report as leverage
The report costs immigrants and descendants from non-western countries today the Danish society 15.7 billion. per year, while immigrants and descendants from Western countries contributing to the exchequer by 2.2 billion. DKK
Both the government and the Danish People’s Party will use the conclusion from the report to further tighten the rules on foreigners.

Kurt Westergaard could be handed to Jordan for blasphemy trial
For real. Here is a Fjordman translation of the article from Ekstrabladet
This Danish newspaper article claims that if cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who currently lives virtually as a prisoner in his own home where he has earlier been attacked with an axe by a Muslim man, can potentially be handed over to Jordan if he loses the blasphemy case against him there a few days from now. This is because of the European Arrest Warrant, which we warned against at the Gates of Vienna blog nearly 3 years ago. According to this Arrest Warrant, which very few Europeans have even heard of, a citizen of one European country can be handed over to another country if he is involved in a “serious crime” like racism. This was originally intended as an internal EU thing, but as Bat Ye’or keeps reminding us, these regulations are often expanded to include the EU’s Mediterranean “partners,” that is, the Muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa, Jordan included:

Muslim population in Western Europe rising
IB NEWS… The population of Muslims in Western Europe has been steadily rising in recent decades, largely due to immigration from the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa.
In Southeastern Europe, much of which once formed part of the Ottoman Empire, Muslims have been present for many centuries, but they are a relatively new phenomenon in the western part of the continent.
On the whole, Muslim’s represent about 5 percent of the population of the EU 27.
Far-right politicians in Europe have long warned that the Muslim numbers will continue to grow due to higher birth rates. Marine Le Pen, the head of France’s anti-immigrant National Front party, who openly discusses the rising number Muslims in France, could conceivably win next year’s presidential election, according to polls.
While the percentage of Muslims as part of the overall population of western European nations are in single digits, a 2009 study by the Telegraph newspaper in the UK estimated that by 2050, Muslims will account for 20 percent of the European Union’s populace. Long before that, Britain, Spain and The Netherlands will reach and surpass that figure. Continue Reading →
