HAVE WE BECOME A NATION OF INFLATABLE APPLAUDING DEVICES?

After having outsmarted Birte Rønn Hornbech, which takes a lot(!) with yet another stigmatising and troublesome overruling, concerning the hijabs in danish courts, the meanspirited people of DFP (Dansk Folkeparti) finds no rest for the wicked, so to speak.
Being the democratic tradionalist(do not mistake that for pacifist) sucker I am, I admit to being impressed by the poiltical will, the energy level and effficienct ppowerplay as practiced by DFP, however there is no end to my discust and thorough concern - soon to be expanded with utter fear - for what and how they so clearly see the danish society constructed.

In yesterdays edition of freebie 24hours, cultleader Pia Kjærsgård presents her visions for a further and per se general ban on hajibs in public space. Not religious symbols: No, hajibs! Single them out and fry them.
If females wearing hijabs - inspite of a ban - insist on wearing them, heres is the consequenses DFP has in mind, and I qoute:

"Clearly there has to be sanctions. It is a question of whether or not the woman will be able to keep her "cashhelp", because she with the hajib will oppose the law, and the possibiliy of having a job-offer."

Women who already works as teacher, socialworkers, nurses and what not, "shouldn`t feel save either" she continues.
"The women will be told that this is no place for wearing a hajib. If they insist they will be fired, because then they will be breaking the law."

What stands out even more is the way Pia Kjærsgård in the qoutes connects the mere fact of wearing a hijab with a criminal intend.

Allthough DFP tries to escape over and over the realms of racism, these one-eyed quotes must forever nail the fact: The primarery goal of DFP is to construct a complex of law only intended to point them out, single them out, harass them, feed the pressure, punish them for what they also are, namely muslims. The article is not followed up by any others arguments, its just that: make the laws so that we can turn back time and righteously fuck them up even more.

But it leads me to a question:
Is not the clearcut rascism of DF as dangeously a "religious/ideologicla" symbol as the hajib?

I mean, if they succeed with the ban, the logic continuum in my book would be to ban DFF, or to work for a public general"ideological" ban: No T-shirts stating that you are either pro that or con this, no political campaigning whatsoever, scrutinising squadteams to act like mindpolice on a collective front covering all medias, a ban on all religious and political gatherings...in other words: the horrid visions of George Orwell.

Its a impossible battle, but a battle it is, and allthough I do not watch TV I am to some extend worried by the silent trail the debate drags. I mean if DF have set out to work for a general ban, we - with the current political status in DK - very well knows what its means: It means we are going to have the ban! It means we are going to have an even more seculare society and impossibles debates and inhumane overrulings, loss of highly qualified workforce, and an added erection to the national "klappe-pølse" (*)

So no the crises at NSROP is defintinely over - there is bigger potatoes out there but I am seriously considring wrapping up a few belongings and leave this country behind.


(*) KLAPPE-PØLSE: (eng,no., sing.: APPLAUDING-SAUSAGE):

inflatable applauding device in the shape of a sausage, much used by danish spectators at sport-events. Banging two klappepølser (plu) together makes it out for a loud applauding sound. First introduced in the 1990s the klappepølse was kind of a compensation for the socalled "klappehat" (appluading-hat/cap, no, sing.) which was a cap with two hands and a pull-string attached, that together illustrated the movement of clapping hands.
The "klappehat" was introduced with massive success, during the heydays of the Danish Nationak Soccer team in the mid 80s, but faded as a fanobject, accordingly to the deroute of the soccerteam.
