2007-10-01 12:30 Revisiting the Danish Cartoon Crisis
Over a year after the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published those now-infamous cartoons of Mohammad one of which portrayed the Muslim Prophet carrying a lit bomb in his turban the country is still noticeably on edge. When I recently visited Copenhagen, a week after a pre-dawn raid netted a handful of suspected Islamic extremists, the twin issues of Islam and integration were difficult to avoid. On television, the news and chat shows were dominated by discussions of coexistence with the coun …

2007-09-04 13:17 Will This Muslim Save Europe
A quote from the BBC s Mark Mardell at his blog, 3 September 2007 Denmark's conservative leader, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has promised Angela Merkel that he will do his very best to avoid a referendum [on the revised European constitution]. They are both painfully aware that it could trigger a domino effect that might knock over Mr Brown by heating up the already pretty hot demands for such a vote in the UK. [...] [T]he really critical point is the call for a referendum by Naser Khader, a charisma …

2007-08-27 16:30 Nothing to say
One might think that post title was directed at myself, but actually it's not. I'm sorry to be too busy to update this blog more frequently, hopefully I will soon find the right routine. Back to the title. I am wondering a lot these days why you don't see more CEOs or political leaders blogging, the standard answer from most of them seems to be that they are too busy. As I said above, I think it's about routines and prioritization. Especially for political leaders, the blog should be equally imp …

2007-08-27 11:14 8 Palestinians stopped from attacking Israeli towns
Struck by the abuse of language in the articles about attempted terrorist attacks, Don Morris rewrote the narrative to show how responsible reporting would more accurately portray what occurred. GAZA CITY, 26 August 2007 With the help of the morning fog, two armed Palestinians managed to infiltrate Saturday into Israeli territory in the area of the Erez and Netiv Haassarah kibbutzim, Tal Lev-Ram, an Israeli officer, told AFP. Communities neighboring the collective farming villages were put on …

2007-08-15 11:55 Free Speech : Too Offensive
Atheists and Agnostics are frequently accused of being everything from bigoted to intolerant, simply because they are honest. There is an expectation in N. America that we are all, in one way or another - believers. I mean believers in God. The great hypothetical. The man upstairs. People reference "the Lord" in conversation while making the assumption that their listeners are in tune with that sentiment. Muslims often assume that if you're a white dude of a certain age, you're some species of C …

2007-06-15 19:28 Screening of Islam vs. Islamists [and vs. PBS] at the Writers Guild Theater in Los Angeles
Where on Earth are the moderate Muslims Thanks to PBS, they re not on public television. -Deroy Murdock, National Review Wednesday, I happened to catch Dennis Prager mention a free screening of Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, Thursday evening. I emailed in for tickets, and within moments, my name was added to a shrinking list. I must say, my schedule has been packed (hence, the light blogging and blog-visits) and this opportunity …

2007-05-29 13:38 Vesselbo Redux
Okay: According to Politiken (dare I still trust that paper), Naser Khader now publicly states that he did discuss a possible defection from the Liberals to Ny Alliance with Eyvind Vesselbo. Topic for discussion: If we assume that Khader - or someone very close to him - is the source for Politiken's original story, why would Khader take the risk of announcing a defection which wasn't already completed In politics, these things work by the surprise effect: Call a press meeting, appear with Mr. X …

2007-05-27 16:11 The To Do-List
Ususally it's considered bad practise to complain about the tasks you haven't managed to do, but if I'm not mistaken, I've been careless enough to promise the three regular readers of this blog one or the other post. So here's the to do-list for the second part of June: To Flemming: The Ultimate Karen Jespersen Post. Well, Naser Khader made sure that that one disappeared from public imagination. I think the sensible solution will be to wrap up the last six months in Danish politics at the end of …

2007-05-25 12:24 Muslims by the numbers
On Tuesday, May 22, Pew Research released a comprehensive survey of American Muslims, that covered cultural, social, religious, political, and other domains. I will leave the mundane out-of-context analysis to the fearmongers and apologists, but I would like to discuss some specific observations. See each quote from the survey below followed by my analysis. "Interviews were conducted in English, Arabic, Urdu and Farsi." This is not unimportant. I do believe, even over the phone, that conducting …

In today's news: Expert #1: Naser Khader's New Alliance will be a big success at the next elections . Expert #2: Naser Khader's New Alliance will fail at the next elections . Topic for discussion: How do you become an "expert" according to the media In this case "expert #1″ is the political editor of DR News, Ask Rostrup (quoted by DR News), while "expert #2″ is Søren Risbjerg Thomsen, Professor in Political Science at Århus University and specialising in electoral studies.

2007-05-07 17:22 Quote of the Day
The quote of the day is not from Naser Khader but from The Quick and the Ed : People who support choice and diversity in delivery of publicly-funded education need to come to terms with the reality that real choice includes some schools that not everyone will like. Of cause we always have to face the question about the limits of which approaches the government should accept so in a convoluted way depoliticising an issue carries an element of re-politicising it.
