Denmark: Community Going Nuts Over Walnut Theft
Sometimes it is the little things that annoy the most. In Europe, it is a tabu to disrespect Muslim values and customs. In Denmark, cartoonists are living in fear of assassination for offending Muslim sensibilities. In such a climate, one would hope that there would be some reciprocity from these hypersensitive Muslims who expect such extreme considerations of their culture.
The following story is not "big news" but it illustrates in microcosm how a lack of consideration for traditions can cause resentment and anger. It was sent to me by a Danish correspondent. This is his testimony.
*************************
The small Danish town of Roskilde has a big hospital. Patients from a wide area are sent there to receive treatment and to regain their health. Some stay there for years, others are sent home after a short treatment. The hospital is surrounded by a big, tranquil park, with outstretched areas of grass and flowering shrubs, interspersed with ancient trees, many walnut and chestnut trees, but also horse chestnuts and beech.
In the autumn people stroll in the park. Ladies parade their grandchildren in prams and children play among the tree trunks. Young and old come from the town to gather the walnuts that drop from the trees. Many take great pleasure at gathering the nuts. The proper storing of the nuts has developed into a small science among the local people. Many let the nuts soak in alcohol in order to produce wonderful walnut schnapps. Elderly gentlemen take great pride in their own recipes, which they guard jealously. The results of their effort, however, are generously shared.
This autumn there will be no walnuts. No laughter of children searching among the trees for particularly large specimens, no elderly gentlemen gathering the nuts for their schnapps.
The reason? Our Muslim guests.
Last weekend my Queen of Hearts and I went to the park to see if the walnuts have started to drop. We were met by a sad sight. A large group of our "friends" from the Middle East had invaded the park. With ladders, buckets, knives and dustbin sacks they had climbed the trees, broken off twigs, removed foliage and cut off branches in order to get to the still unripe nuts, which they had gathered in heaps at the root of the trees. Then they proceeded to cut away the husks of the still unripe walnuts while they made themselves comfortable at their folding tables, sitting in the field chairs they had brought for the purpose. The nuts were gathered in buckets and carried to their cars, where they were emptied in the trunks and finally carried away. The walnut season which usually lasts for three weeks had ended, before it had even started.
I wonder if our guests, who otherwise pride themselves on their superior moral values, realise how much damage they have wrought. For a few thousand Kroner worth of walnuts they have deprived the community that has welcomed them of a valued pastime and a great joy. They have caused resentment among us and have attracted the cold contempt of their hosts. They have exposed themselves as thieves and natural born criminals, willing to enrich themselves at the expense of the surrounding community.
I'm not saying that this kind of behaviour is prescribed in the Koran, but the religious and "cultural" climate that has nurtured our guests obviously does not prevent it.
Shame on you! The community of Roskilde will not forget.

***********************
Just another small example of how, in small ways, Muslims' disrespect for local customs, while demanding respect for their own, gradually erodes the serene and artificial notions of "multicultural" communities, all living in harmony. Respect for other people's culture has to be a two way-street. If the consideration is not reciprocal, respect itself becomes meaningless.

Why is anyone surprised in Denmark?
These are muslims and they engage in theft daily when living in a non-islamic nation.
We are infidels so it is just OK to steal from anyone who is a non-believer.
Denmark needs to send muslims home to their ancestral homelands or else face the fate of Sweden and France where they will burn and riot for every senseless excuse.
Where were the police when this butchery of nature occured?
