Tuesday on DRP1, Søren Espersen, dangerously talented spokesman of DFF (Dansk Folkeparti), apparently compared muslims (muslim women volunteeringly choosing to wear hajibs) with prostitutes that claim to be happy with what they do, Nyhedsavisen writes today.
After Peter Skaarup of same political party yesterday labelled DFF as "antimuslim", not fanatical antimuslim but still antimuslim, the comparesment itself doesnt surprise or differ much.
What really stands out to me, is the way the term "PROSTITUTE" again and again is being refered to as the absoulute worst thinkable occupation, the lowest of the low. A stigmatising and idiotic approach and lingvistic arrogant and racial hygennic, that in no way is just or informed.
A prostitute is as much a human as anyone human out there with their wondeful jobs and carrierchoices and selfrealizition-courses and terapeutic weekend trainings..., and if the debate and development on both prostitution and immigrant-related issues is supposed to move on (imagine) - attitudes like this is what is holding it back, making it downright impossible. Like in anyother case in trying to understand and resolve issues you have to look behind the immidiate signals.
Ofcourse talking about DFF, moving on, doesnt seem to be an issue. And it doesnt seem to be an issue that we in Denmark has a government solely supported by a political party - DFF - that percieves Muslims - thats a good 1,5 billion people, as the buttom of the foodchain and the scum of the earth.
But thank you Peter Skaarup and Søren Espersen for that definitive emphasis.
