Danes Upping the Ante - "Mohammed Burns Tonight"

Original Danish here. Rough English translation here:

Breaking news: Muhammed burn tonight

Tonight is ikkeheksen there burn from however him here! Says private section

The editorial office has received a letter from enhemmelig section. Last walk they sent a letter to the editorial office, claimed they that they had set 4000 muhammed- drawings up amid tea Dinner east (evilfestival) to henhv. Copenhagen, Odense, Ã…rhus and Slice. Vi getting after billeddokumentation remittance that certify this.

Gates of Vienna (via Larwyn) has more on Sankt Hans aften:
Today is Midsummer’s Day — Saint Hans’ Day in Denmark — and the traditional Danish midsummer custom is to burn an effigy of a witch in order to banish evil from the country and ensure the good fortune of the people in the coming year. This year there’s going to be a slight variation on the usual ritual.

According to SIAD, a previously secret group is planning to burn an effigy of Mohammed instead of a witch, to symbolize the need to rid Western Europe of a new kind of evil. Tomorrow the group will release a video of tonight’s Midsummer bonfire.

More from Wikipedia:
It has been celebrated since the times of the Vikings, by visiting healing water wells and making a large bonfire to ward away evil spirits. Today the water well tradition is gone. Bonfires on the beach, speeches, picnics and songs are traditional, although bonfires are built in many other places where beaches may not be close by (i.e. on the shores of lakes and other waterways, parks, etc.). In the 1920s a tradition of putting a witch made of straw and cloth on the bonfire emerged as a remembrance of the church's witchburnings from 1540 to 1693 (but unofficially a witch was lynched as late as 1897). This burning sends the witch to Bloksbjerg, the mountain 'Brocken' in the Harz region of Germany where the great witch gathering was thought to be held on this day.

7 Perhaps it's time to reasess the importation of ALL Middle eastern religion into European lands. Since most Europeans are not middle eastern why should they give up their old God/Gods/Goddesses for foreign middle eastern desert Gods?

8 Gotta love the Norsemen. The muslims need to taste Viking deal. Muslims out of Europe now.

9 I meant Viking steel...doh.

Posted by: Jester at June 24, 2007 05:27 PM (iwtIO)

10 I missed this one. Jester ... with Vikings, 'steel' is the 'deal', so I say your inbounds Friends of Odin, I congratulate you! It makes me glad that the Norse still remember thier pride! Courage is all!
USA, all the way!

11 yes, I agree

muslims out of Europe NOW, but please can someone help me understand:

why is it that the USA (Bush administration) bends over backwards to make Turkey a part of Europe? (in a time where islamists in Turkey are on the rise)

and

why did the Clinton administration jumped in to save Bosnian mulsims at a time when the Serbs were cleaning up their neighbirhood?

Two different administrations, two different parties same policy

PS1. And here's the paradox, the French do not want Turkey in Europe and Europeans didn't lift a finger to help the Bosnians.

PS2. Bush received a hero's welcome in predominantly muslim Albania

PS3. Go figure

12 The Serbs are white and Christian. That makes them legal game to brainwashed America. Only the enemy and minorities can do nothing wrong.
