Bonnichsen: Rasmus paludan's actions can start a new Muhammed-crisis

the Rasmus paludan's demonstrations, in which Korans will be burned tied into bacon, and muslims tilsvinet, can not only pose a threat to himself, but also for the whole of Denmark's security.

It takes the former PET boss, Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen, who compares the situation with the Mohammed-crisis. At that time there was talk about the cartoons that got the arab world to ignite.

- today we see something that is much worse, namely that the Quran is the holy of holies, maltrakteret in all sorts of ways, says Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen, who was head of the PET during the Mohammed-crisis.

the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published cartoons of the prophet Mohammed 30. september 2005. First, in January of the following year after people began in the arab countries to go on the street, and it culminated with an attack on the Danish embassy 4. February.

- There was a very long igniter, before the extremist groups got their eyes up for it and began to react. I can thus imagine that the same thing will happen, though I hope that it can be stopped before it, which no one wants, happens, Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen.

Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen calls on the prime minister to take a preventive conversation with the arab countries ' ambassadors, so that they can help to curb an escalation of the situation.

He must explain to them his position; that he denounces the racist statements, but that freedom of expression enjoys far-reaching protection, he says.

He believes that the politicians themselves are responsible for that types which are Rasmus Paludan now can be allowed to express themselves profane, which in the past was illegal.

- The responsible politicians who have abolished the blasfemiparagraffen, must look themselves in the mirror. They have paved the way for the mess, there now comes forward, says Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen, who believe that it is hypocritical that the politicians have abolished the blasfemiparagraffen and introduced a law against hadprædikanter.

PET has to Berlingske written the following:

'PET, of course, follow the development of the terrorist threat against Denmark and Danish interests abroad close. The current demonstrations do not change the level of the terrorist threat, which remains serious. The Danish authorities following the situation closely.'

President in Politiforbundet Claus Oxfeldt is ready at least, if Rasmus Paludan will opstillingsberettiget.

- Then we have an entirely new situation. So is it democratically decided, he must keep vælgermøder. So even though I have problematiseret, that perhaps he is abusing his freedom of expression, it will be a completely different situation as folketingskandidat.

Claus Oxfeldt does not hide that it will be a massive task for the police, but he can for reasons of principle not go into details on how much it will cost.

- It will be very comprehensive, and it will require a greater security settings, you every time. So, it must be, he says.

the Rasmus paludan's given the opportunity to speak in extremely derogatory terms was made possible because the politicians abolished the penal code blasfemiparagraf in 2017. According to the had to do not taunt recognised religionssamfunds troslærdom or worship.

Paludan is sentenced to 14 days imprisonment for a YouTube video to have violated the penal code paragraph 266 b, popularly known as the racismeparagraffen. City appealed against the judgment on the spot.

In the video speak City and, among other things, 'most negate in south Africa' and people with low intelligence. And it is the clutch, which is illegal.

the presiding Judge Christina Breinstrup informed moreover, at the sentencing that she and the two lay judges, who appeared during the proceedings, had been agreed on both conviction and sentence.
