Thanks to Danish debater Christian Marcussen for bringing this to attention. (Dansk i kommentarsporet).
Last Thursday, Copenhagen Police sent officers to Friday prayers at the Minhaj-ul-Quran mosque in Valby. They attended as guests.
Afterwards, the mosque published a Facebook post praising the police visit. According to the mosque’s own post, the officers were inspired by “the strong community,” by “the inspiring messages of responsibility,” and the mosque was described as “an inspiration for many other mosques.”
The post has since been deleted.
This is the same organization where a key figure was denied Danish citizenship last year - precisely because of his ties to it. The affiliation itself was flagged as disqualifying. It is in the public record.
And yet - here stands the Danish state, in uniform, smiling for the mosque’s PR feed.
What is the problem?
That Denmark can no longer tell the difference between a religion and a political law-religion. Christianity separates church and state. That is precisely why our civilization was able to build free societies in the first place.
Political Islam does the opposite - it is the law, the state, the social order. There is no separation. There was never meant to be one.
So when Copenhagen Police line up next to the leadership of Minhaj-ul-Quran and let themselves be used in their content, they are not blessing a faith community. They are legitimizing a political project dressed in the clothes of faith.
The police would never show up at a Sunday service in a Lutheran parish and praise the congregation as “an inspiration.” They would not know what to say. They would not understand the assignment.
But here - here they understood perfectly. They smiled. They posed. They handed over their authority for a photo op.
This is not dialogue. This is a state that no longer knows whom it serves.
