A few weeks back the city council of Copenhagen officially condoned a mega mosque in Copenhagen. The mosque is a shia mosque, and could be connected to the Islamic Republic of Iran. The decition made quite a storm in the duckpond, but it was also a vile decition indeed.
After the mosque was approved it turned up, that the mosque is partially funded by the revolutionary guard of Iran, thereby making the mosque an official representative of the regime that openly fights anything jewish.
In the middle east the fight is between states, but in Denmark there is no Israel, consequently the focus of a clerecy of such a mosque would be just normal jews.
Such a focus would be classic antisemitism. Since classic antisemitism is defined as racism, the mosque would be openly racist.
The city council is aware of the situation, but do not excuse their openly racist agenda. This has caused very little rebuke from the rest of the political system or the media.
Well, the result of these vile actions will be prosecutions of jews within the next decade. It will mean killing of jews in the street, antijewish propaganda and os on.
Is this a situation the international community can overlook? What is the official stand of Israel? What about Germany with their history? It is easy for the world to turn another page, and overlook the actions of a citycouncil in a remote city. But each and every step heading for another string of jew killings should be acknowledged, and put out into the open, for the world to see.
This is such a small step.
The west is like the hero Bellerophon on his horse Pegasus flying towards the sun, in order to compete with the gods. But the long fall has already commenced, Bellerophon is hanging in the stirrup, almost flipping over, floating through mid air, falling to meet the uncompromising hardpacked earth so far down.
How has it come so far? What used to be the leading civilization of the world has, in very few years toppled over, and is now riddled with ridicule, low selfesteem and a suicidal death wish.
The picture is quite complex, no single source of will has been the driving factor of the demise.
Let us try to analyze some of the factors behind the ungraceful fall of Bellerophon.
The stupidity of american theory
The once mighty and beautiful land of the bold and the free, has turned itself in, and has started a serious kannibalization of its own academic tradition. A serious sociological principle has to stem from either very well proven ideals, or be a innate principle of nature. Ideas as democracy, spartan communism, enlightentment, the law are all such ideas. Proven and worked with since the time of Babylon and classical Egypt. It works. The current academic ideas are however of a very poor quality; multiculturalism, protection of minorities as the only driving force, human rights as the end goal of law. All these principles are basically kindergarten stuff compared with the ideas of Heraclitus, Plato, Rousseau, Kirkegaard, Nietzsche, Hegel and Jung. As a consequence, the states run afoul, and looses its dynamic. Just the idea of treating the murderous immigrants as poor minorities is ridicolous. They should be treated as foreign citizens with a specified set of rights and duties. Unfortunaltely the idiocy of the current american sociological theories have spread to european universities without much ado. I have critisized it quite a lot, but since the danish academic lore proscribes copycat mentality, my critisism have fallen on deaf ears. Actually it has earned me an ostracization. My last book was condemned as stupid and idiotic by one of the leading danish academic professors of today, mr. Ole Thyssen.

Sixtysix years ago, my great grandmother Sigrid Trier Hansen embarked on a little fishing boat, crawled down a crooked ladder, to reach the inside of a smelly abdomen. She was a refugee, because she was jew, and because she helped german jews escape the glistening jaws of that vile creed; National Socialism.
On the boat, in the dark, everything was stolen away from her, ripped of the old grandmotherly lady, except one little item; a gold coin, given to her by my grandmother. The goldcoin has travelled through our family, as one of the treasures of the Trier family, and ended up in my deskdrawer. As a reminder of times of strife, times when jews were on the run.
The gold coin is talisman to me, I look upon it once in a while, and I remind myself that; never again shall the jews be prosecuted and live in fear. But somehow history repeats itself and the vile doings of our great grandparents are yet again done.
This is the story of the rise of antisemitism in Denmark.

Every 200 – 300 hundred years western civilization goes from decay to rebirth – a civilization riddled with stupidity, arrogance and corruption – turns on its hinges, brushes its feathers and arises from the ashes. As the bird phoenix, “the west” shines once again, bringing reason, science and freedom to shores far away.
I believe the eternal developmental wheel of western civilization, is at such a point right now – we are all corrupted with ideas of no real value, our societies are crumbling under the burden of megalomanic welthfarestates or bureaucratic socialists rule. It is time to find our roots once again.
It is an act we have seen numerous times; Thomas Aquinas and the Catholic renaissance, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo in the Italian renaissance, Rembrandt and Descartes in the Dutch renaissance and lately Rousseau, Montesqieu and Napoleon in the French renaissance.
And it all comes back the rebirth of ancient Athens; Socrates, Aristotle, Plato. Politics, art, science and philosophy are reinvented – reason descends upon us once again.
And here I enter; the philosopher – somehow caught in these worldchanging events. Where do I come from? I come from an ancient family of philosophers, my great great grandfarther was a philosopher of some renown, and it has been a tradition in my family to defend western civilization – and especially democracy. The torch of philosophy, has been handed down through the generations from farther or mother to son or daughter. We have lived a live of obscurity for the last 30 – 40 years – socialism has been all the rage in Denmark, and there has been no use for us. But now things seem to have changed, all of a sudden people show interest in our ideas again.
What is the main focus of a modern philosopher?
There is one central battle that we have to win – that is that fight for freedom. Not only freedom in an abstract sense, within economy or the bureaucracy of the state – but in an unyealding support of freedom of speech, the essence of democracy and science. This is the first and most important barricade of a western state – as soon as we are overwhelmed by the glossocrats, the political correct or the islamists – we are finished – democracy and science will not function anymore. Secondly, and combined with the fight for freedom of speech, we fight for our physical freedom, the right to remain free from slavery in our own countries. The islamists have a long tradition of slavery in their culture. Even institutionalized, as in the organizations as the Janissars. This is a very real danger, already in effect in many ghettos around Europe. It will continue its development if we do not stop it.
Thirdly we fight for Roman Law, an ancient western institution, inspired by the Athenians but with roots going as deep as to the pharaos of Egypt; the faith in justice, given to us by judges, persons with rationality as their prime tool. The rule of Law has so far freed us from the rule of the strongest, the rule of the mob. This institution is threatened by the Islamic Law institution of Sharia. If we do not defend Roman Law, it will cease to work wherever islamist are ruling. It is already out of effect in numerous ghettoes around the world, in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, England, France, Germany, Belgium and so on. Roman Law has been swapped for Sharia , a lawsystem based on the Koran. This will not do.
So what brought me here?
Well, actually it has been quite a travel, through many a landscape, with choices hard to make.
It all started with the Mohammad Cartoon Crisis – as many other persons around the world, a drama of surrealistic proportion and implications, unfolded right in front of my eyes. It seemed weird, and the daily life of most danes just kept on as it used to. I tried to defend my country the best I could, but at that time I was even more unknown than I am now. So it all came down to a few articles on central Danish blogs. It made me think however, and I started checking things out on the internet – implications started to dawn upon me, and I realized that this danger of Islamism was for real. Many other things dawned upon me as well, the socialist control of MSM, academia and government. You know the drill.
I felt an obligation to do something, I am a philosopher – and freedom of speech was at stake, but I could´nt really decide what to do. I the summer of 2006 I went on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella – the Camino. For three weeks I walked through dense forests, over plains – I climbed mountains and saw eagles souring over the beautiful plains of Galicia . When you are on a pilgrimage, you are alone with your own thoughts. And my thoughts kept coming back to the issue of Mohammad and his depiction in the Jyllands Posten. I had brought a book of Aristotle with me, the “Politics”, I read through it, and discussed with myself. And at a certain point, I do not really remember where, I decided to join the Anti Jihad, when I returned home. Dangerous work, but my duty as a Danish philosopher.
