“A Danish politician has been convicted of ‘racism’ and ordered to pay a fine for offending Muslims under a law which makes insulting someone’s religion a criminal offense. Former European Parliament member Mogens Camre, who currently serves as a Danish People’s Party councilor in Gladsaxe, was hit with a fine of 8,000 DKK (1186 USD), for a tweet in which he compared radical Islam to Nazism. ‘Muslims continue where Hitler stopped. Only the same treatment that Hitler got will change the situation,’ Camre tweeted last July. ... After the tweet was reported, Camre was charged under the Criminal Code racism clause 266 b paragraph 1, which makes it a crime to offend, ‘a group of people (who) were threatened, insulted or degraded on account of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or sexual orientation.’ The law is based on a United Nations directive. ... 79-year-old Camre refused to comment after the verdict but has indicated that he will appeal the conviction via the Danish High Court. The politician is a long term critic of Islam, remarking previously that the religion cannot be allowed to dominate Europe because it is, ‘incompatible with our values.’” “Danish Politician Convicted,” Infowars.com, Aug. 18, 2015 Comments are closed.
