A short comment on politics:

The founding of new danish political party, New Alliance, headed by Naser Khader, has send shockwaves through the political system. At a pressmeeting yesterday Khader announced that one of their most valued strategic aims is to keep DANSK FOLKEPARTI (Danish Peoples Part) away and astray from the vast and crucial impact that have had on the political agenda in Denmark since 2001.
To that the leader of DPP replied in the news yesterday: "I really recent the hatefull statements from Khader", and then she emphasized the importance of a decent tone in the political debate.

I considered the irony then, and then again today overtaking a bus in midtown: A big DPP commercial-sticker was glued to the side of the bus, saying: "Tighter immigrationpolitics and safe welfare", thus making a clearcut connection between the two saying: immigration equals less welfare and is as such to be considered a threat.
And thinking of the debate as represented by Kjærsgård herself, her followers Camre and Krarup in particular, and their more than hatefull outbust and generalizing approaches to islam and muslims as such: DPP have over the years consequently insisted on the fact that the solution to all immigration perspectives can be solved by a nationalroamatic approach: when in rome - act like the romans.
