Anti-Semitism in Copenhagen
Front Page Mag. ^ | 10/1/13 | Bruce Bawer

Another day, another newspaper story about anti-Semitism in Europe. The good news, I suppose, is that there are at least some newspapers in Europe that are willing to acknowledge the phenomenon. The bad news is that there’s more than enough material to keep the stories coming.

The latest report, in the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, is about seventeen-year-old Moran Jacob, a Jewish boy who until recently lived in Nørrebro, a heavily Muslim neighborhood of Copenhagen. Back in January, Jacob agreed to testify at a hearing about anti-Semitism at Copenhagen’s City Hall, where he told about the harassment he’s been subjected to since childhood. At the time, several newspapers provided accounts of his testimony. (Representatives of Islamic organizations were invited to attend the hearing, but chose not to.)

The son of a Muslim father and an Israeli Jewish mother, Jacob began his education at a private Muslim school, where he was bullied because of his Jewish background and had to keep his distance from the other kids during recess. When he was transferred to a regular school, the abuse grew even worse; it wasn’t even safe for him to walk home alone. In eighth grade, his teacher told him to say that he was Palestinian and that his mother was Russian. “I had to lie about who I was,” he recalls. But it didn’t work. They knew. Eventually, a group of his classmates ganged up on him and stabbed him in the leg. “You can’t go here anymore,” his teacher said. “I have scars,” he told the hearing. “Not on my body, but on my soul.”

Jacob, of course, isn’t alone. He was the youngest of seven Jews who told their stories at the January hearing. There was obviously a reluctance to go public. Many gave only their first names.

“The son of a Muslim father and an Israeli Jewish mother”


Come on! Who needs to read beyond that? How “F...n” stupid or liberal must you be to think there can be any positive outcome from such a coupling of human and sub-human cultures?

Geeez, too bad for the offspring but I thinks this proves when people go out of their way to prove how open minded they are, significant portions of their brains fall out.

The Father I understand. As a muslim he already has shown an IQ below an Egg Plant but the Mother.... well words fail me.

It seems that the Denmark of 2013 is NOT the Denmark that stood up to the Nazis in the ‘40’s.
IIR, when the Nazis ordered the Jews to sew Stars of David on their clothing, thousands of Christians obtained or made their own Stars and wore them defiantly.
This is a CHANGE, but I don’t see much HOPE.

Let the RANT BEGIN!

The usual craven cowardice of todays Scandinavians would cause their Viking ancestors to make slaves of them because they were too worthless to remain free men.

Those pitiful remnants of the old Norsemen have sheltered behind the costly American military shield ever since WW II. In the ensuing post-WW II generations, they came to depend on better men than they to defend them against enemies such as communists.

Having become accomplished welfare clients with well polished skills at having others defend them, they were silly and ignorant to assume they could coexist with Muslims.

They would be well advised to examine Japanese policy regarding Islam and Muslims - then do likewise.

For Libtards, No trial, no delays.
1. Islam is illegal. There, illegal means government acts
STAT.
2. In Japan any Muslim on Japanese soil is immediately
placed on a plane going elsewhere.

Islam is the Faith of Hate and the Cult of Insanity. Considering Islam otherwise only condones their evil
