Reports of the arrest of seven suspected Muslim terrorists has 27 percent of the nation negative towards Muslim immigrants

More than one in four Danes has become more suspicious of Muslims in Denmark after reports of seven young Muslims being arrested on terror suspicion, daily newspaper Urban reported on Monday. Accoring to an opinion poll conducted by Instant-Answer for the newspaper, 27 percent of 1500 respondents said the arrest of the seven suspects had changed their opinion of Muslims in Denmark for the worse.

'It's grotesque to lump all Muslims together and conclude that all Muslims are either terrorists or sympathise with them,' said Niels-Erik Hansen, leader of the Documentation and Consultation Centre on Racial Discrimination. 'It's a dangerous development and a sign that there is a growing breeding ground for racism in the country.

Any idea why this poll was conducted in the first place or what it's intention was, besides to attract the comments of Niels-Erik Hansen? (BTW, who as the leader of the "Documentation and Consultation Center on Racial Discrimination" should at least be informed that "Muslim" is not a race.)

I guess I'm just hoping Muslims are not using this as another excuse to whine about "victimhood" and blame others for what their own have done to their image.

The foreign minister said he would not meet with them. He had no power over the press, but in any event, even meet the Arab ambassadors would negate the very idea of Denmark.

A ray of hope!

A riot in LA after the Rodney King verdict is not comparable to 30+ years of Muslim terrorism.

Are there "rioter training camps" set up around the world and "rioter recruitment" programs funded by a major religion and backed by some of the wealthiest people on the planet?

Are there several "Head Rioters" putting out videos and press releases telling people that if they don't leave X neighborhood that they will all die?

Are rioters taking hostages, cutting off their heads, and putting out videos of it to instill fear and try to bring about a surrender?

Are groups of rioters in a coordinated effort, decades in the building to take over the planet and convert or kill all peoples?

Oh...let the "grotesque lumping" together begin....its not like theyve acted as individual world model citizens right???

[Continental Soldier]

I think there may be a dyslecxic mistake in that report -- 27%? --More like 72%!

I think that used to be, 'A society is one cent away from a revolution when the cost of bread is 99 cents.'

It seems little Denmark has always known how to stand up to bullies. It was the only Nazi-occupied nation in Europe where everyone worked together and saved nearly all the Jews from the gas chambers.

THANK YOU!
What too many refuse to face is the fact that Islam and Nazism ARE alike in that they are both ideologies that espouse violence and destruction of all who oppose them. We CAN lump together all who self-identify as Muslims, just as we could( and did) all those who self-identified as Nazis. They are judged by the IDEAOLOGY and its tenets.
How could one NOT expect to be judged by the belief system they call their own? Documentation for what Nazi's believed was clear, and the Koran makes it VERY clear what Muslims believe.
Hitler founded the Nazi party-and was very plain about what it stood for. ANYONE who called themselves a Nazi, or a Nazi supporter, knew they were saying they believed that too.
Islam/the Koran is VERY plain about what it believes. ANYONE who calls themselves a Muslim is telling the world they believe that too. They have no right to expect others to assume anything else!

We assume all Boy Scouts hold to, and believe in, the philosophy of that organization. The same with Masons, the NRA, political parties etc. Why is Islam exempt from such an assumption- especially when the so-called 'good' ones REFUSE to reject and fight against the aspects of their cult that has the WORLD rising up against them?

[swarthyguy]

Agreed. Ballsy move by the Danes.

So, since we didn't see blacks in LA "take up arms" and start turning the rioters "in to authorities in large numbers ", you must have associated all blacks with rioters.

American Blacks don't fly airplanes into buildings. American Blacks don't suicide bomb. American Blacks don't shoot fleeing children in the back. American Blacks don't bomb subway trains.

Why was the immigration allowed in the first place? I was in Germany when they began bringing in Turks, so I know about that. But what about these others?

'It's grotesque to lump all Muslims together and conclude that all
Muslims are either terrorists or sympathise with them,' said
Niels-Erik Hansen, leader of the Documentation and Consultation Centre
on Racial Discrimination.

Actually, the safe bet is "let trust be earned".
As in...when a chief law enforcement officer (e.g., Attorney General
in the USA) has press conferences to tell the public that BUT FOR the
VOLUNTARY help of peaceable Muslims many apprehensions and prosecutions of
the Islamic radicals would have not happened.

I've waited from 9-11 until this present day to hear such a pronouncement here
in the USA.
(But have to admit that a fair number of Muslims are serving in our
military forces abroad and acqutting themselves nicely.)

its not like theyve acted as individual world model citizens right???

Why, they've only been carrying out their "religious duties"... we must be more tolerant of their intolerance.

After the L.A riots, we did have Congressional representatives make excuses for the black rioters in L.A. with nary a peep from the Black community.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

also, a black man went to the aid of that trucker that was beaten senseless on TV and got him out of there before he was killed. another black man got into his truck and moved it before it was blown up..

in paris, a man was killed for trying to put out a trash can fire..NO muslims came to his aid or stopped the beating..refusal to stop this action or come to the mans aid in this case to me indicates tacit approval of the act..IMHO

All muzzies are not terrorists but most terrorists seem to be muzzies.

[Brooklyn Kid]

There are groups of muslim terrorists all over the world.

Doesn't make every muslim in the world a terrorist. Thank Goodness or we'd have something like 1.5 billion terrorists on our hands.

But according to your post, you "associate all muslims with terrorism and terrorists", because you don't see enough coming out "taking up arms" and turning others in to the authorities in high enough numbers.

Your statement, not mine.

[glaseatr]

'It's grotesque to lump all Muslims together and conclude that all Muslims are either terrorists or sympathise with them,

No it's not and it won't be until the "Peace Loving" Muslims start slapping the crazy ones across the face.

[Brooklyn Kid]

So, because muslim terrorists are worse, we should just hate all muslims in the world? That makes sense.
