View Full Version : We must show our opposition to Islam, says Danish queen

We must show our opposition to Islam, says Danish queen
By Hannah Cleaver in Berlin


Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has called on the country "to show our opposition to Islam", regardless of the opprobium such a stance provokes abroad.
Her comments further undermined the image of Denmark as a liberal haven for those seeking a new life in northern Europe.

The Danish government has already been accused of fuelling xenophobia by introducing measures which effectively closed the country to asylum seekers.
But in overtly political passages from an official biography published yesterday Queen Margrethe makes comments certain to complicate her nation's relationship with Muslims.
She said: "We are being challenged by Islam these years - globally as well as locally. It is a challenge we have to take seriously. We have let this issue float about for too long because we are tolerant and lazy.
"We have to show our opposition to Islam and we have to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on us because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance."
"And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction."
The Queen, who turns 65 tomorrow and has reigned since 1972, wields no political power but does occasionally comment on political issues.
Denmark has seriously limited immigration in the past three years and the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party, an ally of the centre-Right government, has pushed through laws making it harder to bring in foreign spouses or qualify for asylum.
The queen told her biographer, Annelise Bistrup, apparently referring to Muslim fundamentalists: "There is something impressive about people for whom religion imbues their existence, from dusk to dawn, from cradle to grave."
She said she understood how disaffected young Muslims might find refuge in religion. This tendency should be fought by encouraging Muslims to learn Danish so they could integrate better, she said.
"We should not be content with living next to each other. We should rather live together."

Brother, yes we need to unite! but remember no matter how many people are against us we have ALLAH (SWT)...

And nor does the Queen or who oppose us know what they are getting themselfs in!

Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread) [5:33]

Innama jazao allatheena yuhariboona Allaha warasoolahu wayasAAawna fee alardi fasadan an yuqattaloo aw yusallaboo aw tuqattaAAa aydeehim waarjuluhum min khilafin aw yunfaw mina alardi thalika lahum khizyun fee alddunya walahum fee alakhirati AAathabun AAatheemun

5:33 The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;

Why do people keep bringing up racism? This whole issue has nothing to do with racism. If you think it does, then I suggest you check a dictionary right now.

People, this looks like a major escalation of the "clash of civilizations", and to be quite frank, imbecilic talk about "racism" is not going to help matters.

But freedom is the main superstructure of our civilisation and we have to accept that some people are to stupid to use them in good way. But we can do nothing. It is like some people who are killing innocents crying "I do it in the name of Allah". So in our countries some people do something similiar using freedom of speech as smoke screen.
But we have to defend them because we have to defend freedom. Even if that freedom is used in wrong way.

This shows you that people can make fun at Islam without respect or being afraid. Which means we are in trouble. Thats why all the protests that are made about the cartoons are ignored. Another point is that when people demonstrated, nothing was orginized. I mean there was no coordination. This country did this this country did that. So the world is laughing at the Muslims. Lets move, before we break up even more.

That's not realistic at all. Western countries are worried about terrorism and nobody would want to invite terrorist by declaring a war on islam. That would be plain stupid. For example, think about the economic consequenses of such a thing. Muslim countries are important markets for many western companies and the companies create work and wealth for their countries. Why to risk that? And of course there's the oil.
There will be no war on islam, be assured.

You're quite right, but, crucially, Muslims do not all share the same race. Therefore, racism has nothing to do with this. What word would I use to describe the Queen's comments? Anti-Islamic, Islamophobic, foolish - something like that would be far nearer the truth.

Why not? In the UK you're free to say whatever you like as long as you don't incite crime, preach hatred or threaten public safety. It's possible to condemn, criticise or ridicule religions without doing any of those things.

These stupid cartoons showed islam as religion of hate. Reactions of muslims (even on this forum) confirmed that. It is really sad but today people in Europe think "Oh! They are wild and aggresive. These cartoons were showing truth."
Reaction of muslims was the worst thing ever and made terrible oppinion for muslims in Europe. You could make that protest in better way. Far better. You just couldn't do anything worse.
Pointing guns at Europe and assaulting people and embassies was really stupid.

On the flip side of the coin however, there are unstable people who will react crazily to such provocation and thus the press should ensure they use the right to freedom of expression responsibly.

Greetings,

I agree with the three previous posts. The protesters in London, carrying placards with messages such as "Massacre / Behead / Annihilate those who insult Islam" and "Europe, you'll come crawling when the Mujahideen come roaring", have massively hindered, not helped the cause of Islam in its relations with the West.

In fact, what they have done is to provide support for many of the ideas that Islam-haters believe, among them that Islam is a violent and backward faith. While (I believe) most Muslims would condemn the reaction of the protesters as being excessive, the protesters have shown that they themselves actually believe that beheadings, massacres and suicide bombings are Islamically acceptable. It will not be surprising, therefore, if anti-Islamic feeling escalates in the West as a result of the actions of these tiny-minded protesters. They've chosen to act in a way that to me seems to be clearly unIslamic, yet their actions will be mistaken by many as being part of mainstream Islamic thinking.

This is a very worrying situation for everyone, Muslim or kaffir.

Peace

this is talking about kufar like those who wage war against islam. the enemies of islam. this is not talking about those who do not fight us.

thats why allah azwajjal said:

Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes.

Aslamualikum Warahmatu ALLAH Wabartakatoh
BismALLAH Arhman Arheem,

Al-Hijr (Rock City) Surah 95

إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ

For sufficient are We unto thee against those who scoff,-

Dear Brothers and Sisters.... When this Aya came down, five people of the tribe of Quraysh, and I apologize but I cannot Remember their names, gathered one night and started to scoff the Rasool (PBUH) and mock him, and humiliate him...So Jabril (AS) came down and asked the Prophet (PBUH) to point them out, so the Rasool (PBUH) pointed to each one of them, so then Jabril (AS) pointed to a particular part of their body and told the Prophet (PBUH) that ALLAH (SWT) is with you and he will take care of them!

So one them was walking in the city one day, and got accidentally hit with two arrows in his knees by someone who was practicing archery, and so they had to be amputated... The other one feel in a thorn trap, and the thorns came into his eyes and he went blind... the next one got air-bubbles in his head and died... the other one had a disease the Arabs called yellow water where a person will secrete waste through their mouth and nose, and he died... and the last but not least, stepped on a poisonous thorn on a long journey he was making, and died on the way! and they all where effected in the area Jabril (AS) pointed to!

Brothers and Sisters the only validity that this story has is that a Khateeb, told the story during the Friday sermon today, and according to him it is in Sahih Al-Tabari!...and Im trying to find it! Im sure it would be in there, but the hard part is getting Al-Tabari's books!

May ALLAH (SWT) send his severe punishment on those who do this (Denmark, Norwegians)!

We have to make our love bigger for the Prophet (PBUH) in our hearts:

Like the Sahaba that took an arrow through his hand so that it does not hit Him (PBUH) or when the women held up the sword to fight for the Rasool (PBUH) in battle of Uhad, when the Rasool (PBUH) got hit in His Face (PBUH) and he lost teeth!....The love that a women showed when she heard that her Father, Husband, and Brother died... and she worried that something happened to the Rasool and insisted on seeing him and when she did she was calmed and relieved and said every problem after you, Ya Rasoola ALLAH (PBUH) is a small one!

Waslamualikum Warahmatu ALLAH Wabarakatoh

Well from what I know Under international law,freedom of speech
is required to comport with a strict three part test:

1. they must be provided by law;
2. pursue an aim recognized as legitimate;
3. they must be necessary (i.e., proportionate) for the accomplishment of that aim

Amongst the aims considered legitimate are protection of the rights and reputations of others (prevention of defamation), and the protection of national security and public order, health and morals.

What does defamation mean?

Defamation can be categorised as Libel or slander which means false statement that negatively affects someone's reputation in this case the cartoons affect the prophet's reputation and to its ummah.

According to the American and English Encyclopedia of Law, a libel is a malicious defamation expressed either by writing or printing or by signs, pictures, effigies or the like; tending to blacken the memory of one who is dead, or to impeach the honesty, integrity, virtue or reputation, or to publish the natural or alleged defects of one who is alive, thereby exposing him to public hatred, contempt, ridicule or obloquy; or to cause him to be avoided or shunned or to injure him in his office, business or occupation.

I hope this explanation is clear enough of what the limits of freedom of speech are.

Greetings suhura,

Thanks for your description of the libel laws, but I'm not sure they apply in this case. You can sue someone for libel if the make a written statement about you (or someone whose interests you defend) which is factually incorrect. However, a political cartoon is not a medium for presenting facts - it is for showing an opinion.

I'm not a lawyer, so I could be wrong about this, so perhaps you (or other Muslims) could try suing the cartoonists or the newspaper if you think you have a case.

Peace

this is talking about kufar like those who wage war against islam. the enemies of islam. this is not talking about those who do not fight us.

thats why allah azwajjal said:

Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes.
Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity.
