Nørrebro clams up on gang shootings

An update on this post. Nørrebro is a quarter in Copenhagen with an extremely high concentration of immigrants. It has been unofficially declared an "Islamic state" by some of its residents:

Nørrebro clams up on gang shootings

Police investigations of recent shootings and gang violence on the streets of Copenhagen are going slow, as members of the Nørrebro quarter's immigrant community with connections with criminal gangs have clammed up, the police said. In recent weeks, two men have been killed in street shootings. An injured gang leader was subsequently freed by a group of masked men from the State Hospital, where he was under police surveillance. Police said the silence in Nørrebro about the incidents was deafening, and they were replying in kind. 'We are still investigating many things in relation to the cases, but none of it will be released to the public for the time being. The criminals are not to know what we are doing, and we know from experience that some information can harm the investigation, when we talk about these extremely closed groups,' Chief Inspector Ove Dahl told daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten. Shootings and gang violence on the streets of Copenhagen in recent weeks demonstrate that the city's plan to integrate disadvantaged teenagers has failed utterly, Social Democratic councillor and integration spokesman Thor Grønlykke said on Thursday. Grønlykke said his own majority in the city council had not managed to carry out its plan to integrate disadvantaged ethnic minority youth in the immigrant quarter of Nørrebro and prevent them from forming criminal gangs. After violence in the neighbourhood and a killing of an Italian tourist in 2003, three prominent Copenhagen councillors presented a detailed action plan to prevent violence from breaking out again, including a dialogue with troublemakers and their families.

Now the islamic leaders have begun talking about bloodmoney, imposing their evermore barbaric customs into a civilized society: http://www.jp.dk/indland/artikel:aid=3086088/ (in Danish).

The article you refer to is not about blood money, it is about an imam who urge the family of a murdered 24 years old man not to seek revenge, but to forgive.

It is quite obvious that many judges in Texas has a lot to learn from this imam.

The same imam suggested that the family of the killer should pay the family of the victim 200 000 DKR (this is said in a different article than the one you refer to). This is of course not a good idea, as our society usually let the courts hand out blood money.

This is not correct, as the article my url points to contains everything in the translated piece by rune (the latter half of the article). Read the whole article, how difficult can it be?

The person who wrote this: "It is quite obvious that many judges in Texas has a lot to learn from this imam." is completely ignorant of criminal law in Texas.

Judges in Texas have never had the right to assess the death penalty. That right has always been reserved to citizen juries in Texas. Judges have held the right to reduce the penalty, but never to assess it.

Recently the US supreme court has forced other states to adopt this practice.

Furthermore this article is about an imam discouraging revenge murder. Why does he have to do that? I suggest it is because revenge murders are normally considered acceptable in his community, whereas they are strictly against the law in Texas.

This imam wants Denmark to recognise sharia law in a roundabout fashion. It is always the same. A little bit here, then a little more, and before you know it, sharia is all over the land.

Islam is medieval even by the standards of medieval Europe, as it is an invention of medieval Arabia. No reformation within, has meant, that it is still stuck in that time period. Cultural Evolution, unlike in other human societies, has played no part in the muslim community. The tragedy for muslims is that they also are stuck in that time warp. Now they wish to drag us back to that place in time.

With Islam in the West, it is "Back to the past for the future", for all, though not as entertaining as the films.

Appropos of hate crime legislation to protect islam in the West, just look at this

UNCHR: Protecting Religion– Specifically Islam

http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/006501.php#comments

So now freedom of expression is under attack by the UNHCR. This is going to be picked by our own political elite, to come up with some legislation to "protect" muslims, the koran, allah, and most particularly, mohammed, from any serious criticism.
