Danish socialist party leader to Hizb-ut-Tahrir: You are off the chart! (NO Sharia in Denmark!)

I appologise in advance for any mistranslations.

The following statement was made on the the blog site of the party. In this case the one belonging to the partyleader, Villy Søvndal.
This is a powerful statement by a party that usually are a bit withheld in the matters of immigration and such.

"Hizb-ut-Tahrir: You are off the chart!
Hizb-ut-Tahrir is not only off the grid - they are completely off the chart. If they are so stupid that they really want Caliphs and Sharia intregrated then they pure and simple have come to the wrong country. They have nothing to do in the Danish society and they will not reach the goals they seek so heartedly.
I have over the years learned that one should pick ones battles carefully. So an advise to Hizb-ut-Tahrir is - not friendly but with much consideration - that they with benefit can seek other pastures to roam.
There are - which is in iteself very tragic - countries in the world which are much closer to these lunatics' wet dream. So if the wish is integration of the Caliph and Sharia - then the potential is far far larger in fx. Iran or Saudiarabia.
So a clear and precise encouragement from me: You have to move on - and it can only happen too slowly!
With its usual sense for timing, Hizb-ut-Tahrir has again struck in the aftermath of the Muhammed-crisis version 2.0. With great confidence they succeed in adding fuel to the fire and at the same time speak directly to Danes who've had enough of religious fundamentalism and a minority of muslims who apparently can't get enough of religious fanatisism.
Therefore my message to Hizb-ut-Tahrir and their supporters - amongst which the spokesman for Islamist Faith Society (Islamisk Trossamfund) who happily marched at a demonstration arranged by Hizb-ut-Tahrir:
Find other pastures. Your business has no perspective and no future in Denmark.
And for ordinary Danes who are justifiably sick and tired of Hizb-ut-Tahrir's grotesque point of views and headless demonstrations: We are many how feel that way. I'm also sick and tired of them! Let us therefore together send them a clear message: Your oblivious idiocy has no place on this earth, for in the long run no one wants to live in a world without freedom, in a world of ignorance and in your pathetic inability to maintain yourself.
It is sometimes said that the members of Hizb-ut-Tahrir are amongst those immigrants whom are doing the best when it comes to education and employment. I don't know - I'm not a sociologist. But I can conclude that they are doing pretty bad in every other area. And I guess that is the tragedy of it all: That people who have grown up in freedom with oppotunities that their parents home country never could have given them, end up as religious delluisionals with a hate to the society that they live in.
And for those who feel attracted to Hizb-ut-Tahrir, and whom probably meet obstacles in the daily life: Stop playing the role of martyr. Move out of the middleages. Have the courage to use your reason. Accept the historic superiority of democracy, respect womens independence and equal rights, accept reason and knowledge as a foundation for meeting other people. Then you'll see that everything is going to be alright.
Villy-"


Had we Danes used our head at the last election this man could have been leading the country instead.

In times where religious and non-religious views are clashing as ever before, it is refreshing to hear a point of view like this coming from a statesman.
It signifies that Denmark is willing to fight and give what it may take in preserving freedom of speech and the right to a modern democracy where the majority of people are heard.
We will never bend to fanatic minorities, nor will we take kindly to anymore attempts to sneak in these minorities insane ways of life.

This was a YES to democracy and freedom and a NO to Sharia.
