Queen of Denmark Outraged by Persecution of Jews, Calls for Opposition to Islam

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On April 16, 2015 @ 11:29 am In The Point | No Comments

During WW2, King Christian X of Denmark reportedly replied to a German order for Jews to wear the yellow Star of David by suggesting to his Prime Minister that all Danes wear it. The truth of the story remains unknown, but these are certainly some powerful and significant remarks by Queen Margrethe II [1]transcribed by Nicolai Sennels. (via Religion of Peace [2])

The terrorist attack (February 14-15 2015 against a free speech even an a Jewish school) has helped to expose the existence of a fierce anger against Israel and Jews among groups of refugees and immigrants in Denmark. For the Queen, it has been painful to follow the harassment and persecution of the Danish Jews, and she is shocked that Jews again – in a completely unacceptable way – are threatened.

“That the Jews are so disliked, feel pressured and feel threatened, is shocking – because they are threatened. They take it with great dignity, as they have always done, but it is shocking to witness.”

Seen with the queen’s eyes is an important part of the reaction to the terror that we stand firmly by the key freedoms that Denmark is founded on – including freedom of expression – which makes it possible to speak, write and express ones opinion freely.

“I know there are some who say that we must be careful, and of course we need to think before speaking, but we must certainly also say things the way we think they are. We should not hold back. If you do not speak out about problems they become worse,” said the Queen.

Fear should never be allowed to dominate, although the terrorists are prepared to use violence.”

“We are challenged in these years by Islam, both globally and locally, and it is a challenge we have to take seriously. … There is something impressive about people for whom religion permeates life from morning to night, from cradle to grave. There are also Christians who feel that way. …

But it [Islam] is a challenge we have to take seriously. We simply let it flutter in too long because we are tolerant, and it’s not so nice. … We should oppose it, and one must sometimes take the risk of being called less flattering things, since there are certain things one should not tolerate. … It is vital that we give Islam a opposition. The lax response that has prevailed for many years in Denmark is not enough.”

Indeed.

Wow. I wonder how long it will be before she is pressured into “clarifying” her remarks.

She should be so pressured. After all, she has insulted and disrespected our _resident’s deeply held religious beliefs.

Our President will be very upset. He's a pal of Denmark's Prime Minister, he should give her a call and have her set the Queen straight.

Though the King and the resistance did manage to smuggle Danish Jews to Sweden, the star thing probably never happened. Don't believe Jews were required to wear stars in Denmark.

Awesome. Speaking of Islame, my hero Pat Condell just put out a new video a few weeks ago. Man, I wish this guy had a major TV show every night......

As usual being the good libs they are, the Danes will not do the right thing and kick every last Muslim out of the country. All cultures are equal to liberals. Except all cultures aren't equal.

The handwriting is on the wall. If things go on as usual, a large number of Euro states will go Islamo-fascist in the foreseeable future. First the Muzzies must be booted out en masse, and then the remaining conservatives should try and abolish liberalism.

Apart from this statement regarding Islam: Queen Margrethe is just *cool*.

She’s a great inspiration to older women everywhere. At 75, she always seems ‘forever young’ and manages it without ever appearing to act or dress inappropriately to her age.

I like seeing pictures and videos of her; she always appears happy, curious and engaged; and very comfortable with herself...
