Only half of Danes see Islam as incompatible with democracy
2006-09-05
Nearly half of Danes consider Islam incompatible with democracy, according to a poll published on Monday. The Zapera poll, conducted for Danish think tank Mandag Morgen, showed 48 percent of those surveyed thought Islam was incompatible with democratic values. Around 34 percent said they saw Islam as consistent with democracy, while 18 percent said they were undecided.

#17  Denmark is doing pretty well. Nearly half of Americans don't believe Islam is a threat either.

#13  This seemed appropriate:

Roland was a warrior from the land of the midnight sun
With his Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

Through '66 and 7, they fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers, knee deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

Roland the Thompson gunner
Roland the Thompson gunner

His comrades fought beside him, Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son of a bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

Roland the headless Thompson gunner
Time, time, time, for another peaceful war
Norway's bravest son
But time stands still for Roland, 'til he evens up the score
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa, in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun, he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

Roland the headless Thompson gunner
Roland the headless Thompson gunner
Roland the headless Thompson gunner, talking about the man
Roland the headless Thompson gunner

The eternal Thompson gunner
Still wand'ring through the night
Now it's ten years later, but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst
Of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it

#12  Mebbe, mebbe not via LGF:

The BBC reports that nine men of indeterminate origin, for reasons that are apparently a complete mystery but probably have nothing to do with Islam (otherwise they would say it, wouldnÂ’t they?), have been arrested in Denmark on suspicion of planning terrorist attacks: Nine held in Danish terror raids.

All of those arrested are of Islamic background and under 30 years old.

I wonder why the BBC didnÂ’t mention this?

UPDATE at 9/5/06 7:51:43 am:

More info: Danish police arrest 9 terror suspects

#11  Only half of Danes see Islam as incompatible with democracy

Believe Darth Vader and mcsegeek1 diagnosed the pathogens correctally...

having been exposed to a daily dose of EU socialism [post-Christian nanny state], multiculturalism and to strong inexpensive pot for the last 20 years predictably the current crop of new Danish citizens have flaccid instincts, spiritually defenseless immune systems and will be led easily to slaughter.

#9  could be that many people taking the poll thought 'compatible with democracy' was the correct answer even though they didn't believe it

#8  The other half were too stoned to do more than say, "Wha? Huh? Dooood. You are harshin' my mellow!"

What they omit is how the other half of Denmark wants to make Medisterpølse out of these f&ckwits.

HINT: If you can even pronounce Medisterpølse correctly, you're half-way there already.
