The Muslim Viewpoint: Finally, Hijab in the Danish Politics?
Yes, "a historical day” indeed! The day Europe started moving in retrograde motion - officially! And when will we “finally” have a church in Mecca (Makkah) to mark our “historical day”? When will Westerners “finally” even be allowed to enter Mecca? And when will Westerners be able to walk down the streets in Saudi Arabia wearing mini-skirts or tight trousers? Now those truly would be “historical days”.

This is not a sign of integration at all; on the contrary, it is a sign that Muslims in Europe are NOT integrating, still less assimilating.

The Muslims of Europe are hell-bent on taking the advanced, Western world back to the Dark Ages, to a New Dark Age, as I wrote in my book.

ISLAM ONLINE: “A historical day,” that’s how the Danish media described the day when Asmaa Abd El-Hamid, a 27 Danish Muslim veiled politician of a Palestinian origin, attended a council meeting as a substitute for a member of the Unity List. It was the first time in Odense, the third biggest Danish city where she attended the meeting, and in the whole Danish history that witnesses a veiled woman taking part in a Local Council meeting.

Ms. Abd El-Hamid told IslamOnline.net (IOL)’s European Muslims Page that she is intending to put forward the social, economical, and international issues in the coming meetings as they are placed at the top of her agenda. By holding this position she is planning to discuss her main issues, such as the social equality between Muslims and Non-Muslims in both education and recruitment, the recognition of the independent Palestinian state, and the rejection of the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Asmaa has a lot of creative social and political ideas which she aspires to work on. Although Ms. Abd El-Hamid regards this step as "unprecedented," she is not only aiming at the veil’s existence in the parliament or in the political field. She also insists that she has been elected for this position "by both Muslims and non Muslims votes." >>> By Salma El-Gazzar | Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Denmark: Expel Islam from Europe
EUROPE NEWS: The controversial Danish People's Party member of the European Parliament Mogens Camre spoke at the DPP's annual meeting Sunday, calling to expel Islam from Europe.

"Islam cannot be integrated. Islam will dominate Europe. And Islam is incompatible with our values. Therefore Islam will be thrown out of Europe. This little land is ours, we forged it ourselves. And we will govern it ourselves and decide ourselves who will live in it and how they will behave. And we will fight until Denmark is again free," said Camre, to loud applause.

Danish Dhimmitude: “Sorry Muhammad,” Says Anders Boetter
BBC: The controversy in Denmark over the reprinting of one of the 12 cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad this week has triggered an unusual dialogue on social networking group Facebook, writes the BBC's religious affairs correspondent Frances Harrison.

The row began with Tuesday's arrests of three Muslims in Denmark said by the intelligence services to be plotting to kill one of the cartoonists.

All the major Danish newspapers next day rallied round their colleague, reprinting his drawing of the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban as a sign of solidarity.

But now young Danish student Anders Boetter says he has decided to start a Facebook site called Sorry Muhammad to apologise to Muslims on behalf of ordinary Danes and also give them a voice in the controversy over the row. Danes clash on web in Prophet row >>>
